Matching
Watch out:
If ELvl is ‘8’, and/or 263 is present, and/or 300 contains “pages cm”, or “p. cm.” then the record is 'CIP', or is still partially CIP:
if the LCCN (010) or another national bibliography number (015) matches what is on the resource, and the record seems at all possible as a match, then be more forgiving of differences in transcribed data (because anything can change between when the pre-pub information was provided and when the resource was actually published).

M: 040e
RDA Elements: None
Matching:
OK if:
040 $e rda is present; that means RDA cataloging instructions were followed when creating this record, so all elements should be compliant with RDA thinking
040 $e aacr is present or if no $e is present; that means AACR cataloging rules, or even older cataloging rules were followed when creating this record, so you may need to invoke the 'older cataloging rules' exceptions for some elements

Matching:
Ignore GMD for matching, but it is a quick indication of a possible problem, so skip to:
Then, if those elements match, you can return to the 245 and continue matching the rest of the elements, but if they don't, you need a new record
