 The focus of the Current Cataloging Service is to incorporate Authority Control for your '''new''' bibliographic records into your regular cataloging workflow. There are two components to this service:

-Intended as an alternative option to the Notification service, the Bibliographic Update service will store all bibliographic records you have sent for processing in a Master Bibliographic Database. We will re-authorize and deliver any updated authority records as well as any bibliographic records that contain those headings that were changed.
+Some ILS don't have the ability to update Bibliographic Headings when Updated Authority Records are issued as part of the Authority Notification Service. This is where the Bibliographic Update Service comes in (Comprehensive Notification in Marcive parlance).
-This service option is ideal for those whose ILS cannot easily make batch-changes to Bibliographic records once updated authority records are loaded. The library '''must''' submit any updated or deleted bibliographic records prior to the scheduled run. It does also require downtime within your catalog so that you are not making changes to records that could potentially be overlaid, thus having those changes lost.
+As part of this service, we store all Bibliographic Records you have sent for processing in a Master Bibliographic Database. This includes all Bib records from your Basefile plus all records from your Current Cataloging (New Bib) service. On an agreed frequency we will "re-authorize" the Bib Headings within the Master Bib Database to identify 1) New or Updated Authorities and 2) Bib headings to update. We will deliver back to you all new/updated authorities in addition to the Bib records that had headings updated.
