| There are currently forty-three network libraries that have locally produced books in the International Union Catalog. The book numbers are assigned by the cooperating libraries, and there is no standard convention used in the network. Too many new book-number prefixes may be confusing in a service designed primarily for the general readership (BARD), so this policy groups the locally produced books of different network libraries together under the common prefixes below. The alternative would be dozens of new prefixes in BARD. Voyager records will reference the original local book number in addition to the newly assigned number used in BARD. | There are currently forty-three network libraries that have locally produced books in the International Union Catalog.

| Full MARC records for locally produced network books in BARD will be made available for network libraries. The original network library book numbers will be included in MARC records in a specially defined MARC field along with the CMLS code of the contributing library. This will allow contributing libraries to map the original numbers to the new NLS-assigned book numbers. | Full MARC records for locally produced network books in BARD will be made available for network libraries.
