from EBSCO:
We are pleased to announce that beginning in August, OCLC will offer less-than-full records (LTF) for EBSCO titles. With this change you can begin receiving expedited WorldCat records for any newly available eBook purchased from EBSCO. A LTF record is defined as a record in WorldCat which may lack some metadata elements (such as call number or subject heading), or, as born-digital record created exclusively with data provided by EBSCO.
What this means for you is that now you have a choice to receive LTF records, should full-level records not be available at the time of purchase. In addition to the new LTF offering, OCLC will offer the option to have records delivered again, once they have been upgraded to full-level records. If you would like to preview an LTF record, sample records are available upon request.
To get started with LTF records click here to complete the form and return it via email to oclcmetadatacatsvcs@oclc.org, no later than August 21, 2014 to guarantee delivery of LTF records as soon as they are available. If you do not respond by this date no change will be made to your current profile and your library will continue to receive only full-level records. For more information on LTF records, visit the FAQ on the EBSCO Support Site:http://support.ebsco.com/knowledge_base/detail.php?id=7454.
