Correct.  Particular items of concern in our case are our records for
sound recordings and scores (both of which have detailed locally-added
contents notes) and items in our special collections, which frequently
have all sorts of locally-enhanced content (e.g., in 590 fields).  If
our records for these materials are not themselves the master OCLC
records, this information will never be seen during retrieval / display
from WCL.
