It is PINES policy that all original records are created in OCLC’s WorldCat and imported into the PINES database via the Z39.50 interface in Evergreen. See Original Cataloging Policies for more information. If you are uncertain whether or not you need to create an original record for your manifestation, review the PINES matching requirements and see When to Input a New Record
