Reporting records to "J".

• We report a change in encoding level on a monograph record to "J" when we CONSERize the serial record to level "b" (blank), and the monograph record(s) on OCLC have LCCN numbers in the 010 field.
• LC needs to be notified that this title is no longer being treated as a monograph, but as a serial.
• The report regarding these records is simply a list of the monograph LCCN numbers given to DVH along with the OCLC# of the serial record.
