I. Verifying Required elements in the Instance record: The following elements of the bibliographic information can best be verified either in the “Edit in Quickmarc” screen, or the “View Source” screen in FOLIO, both of which are available from the Actions menu of the Instance record. They can also be viewed in OCLC Connexion before exporting the record to FOLIO.  Note: The Edit in Quickmarc screen should NOT be used to make any changes in the Instance record.  If there is any inaccurate information, typos, or other errors in the record, the book cannot be fast-cat, and it should be routed to copy-cataloging with the appropriate information filled out on the flyer.
