Subject: 006 in Print record with Ref to Electronic

Hello,
I've been reading the OCLC MARC guidelines for Electronic Materials,
specifically the section on using a "Single record with reference to the
electronic item."  Isn't there a contradiction between the following two
statements? It's really confusing me. I hope someone can clarify.
Thanks,
Michelle Fiander

1.      In the step-by-step guidelines for this procedure, it says:  "DO
NOT
INPUT FIELD 006 FOR THE ELECTRONIC VERSION."

2.      Two paragraphs later, however, it says: "CONSER...permits a
single
record for a non-electronic item to include information for the
electronic
version. OCLC's guidelines are compatible with CONSER's except THAT OCLC
REQUESTS THAT YOU ADD FIELD 006 as described in this document."
