If you are thinking about downloading the patterns embedded in the 891
fields
in the OCLC records to your local system, Innovative has developed a
loader to do that.  When the OCLC record is exported into the local
system, the
loader automatically generates a check-in record containing the 853/863
fields
embedded originally in the 891 fields.  The existence of the 853/863
fields in
the check-in record automatically generates a holdings statement for the
OPAC
display.  The loader is referred to as the "CONSER" loader because it
was
developed in conjuction with the pilot project of the CONSER Publication
Pattern Initiative (http://lcweb.loc.gov/acq/conser/patthold.html).  We
have
purchased the loader and started to use it for titles on new standing
orders.
You may want to contact Innovative Interfaces for more information about
utilizing the loader in your library.
