If the item for which the provisional record has been created is in hand, make a print-out of the record and note the date of the last OCLC search in the upper right-hand corner. If item is an approval title write the control number on the portion of the vendor slip which remains visible. Note that all provisional records, regardless of format, receive an automatic control number which begins with the small letter ‘a’.
