Unintentional 028 overlays

["Tech Service Manager" <ghdtec at glensidepld dot org>]

Hello all,
 
Recently, my cataloger has noticed that sometimes our new OCLC - derived
movie catalog records have been overlaying existing movie records in our
database.  The common denominator on these overlays has been a matching
028. 028 numbers can be searched in our system, so we can prevent this
by doing a search on the number before exporting.  It is not clear from
the literature that we have read that there is a way to automatically
prevent this from happening, although I think there must be.  028
numbers are so short and arbitrary that overlay issues are bound to be a
regular problem.  
 
I would appreciate anyone's incite on this issue.
