The techniques of astral projection : dénouement after fifty years. (OCLC #7303468)

OCLC has records using many standards; not just RDA and AACR2 but also some non-ISBD. For example, this record has fixed field Desc indicating that it is non-ISBD:

Desc: _

and indeed, some fields have no (or little) punctuation as markup:

300 __ ǂa xxiii, 111 pages ǂc 22 cm

but some elements have been upgraded over the time through OCLC’s automated processes (note that “p.” above has become “pages”). Some RDA elements have been added:

  336 __ ǂa text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent
  337 __ ǂa unmediated ǂb n ǂ2 rdamedia
  338 __ ǂa volume ǂb nc ǂ2 rdacarrier

as have FAST headings:

  650 _7 ǂa Astral projection. ǂ2 fast ǂ0 (OCoLC)fst00819371

but the record as a whole has not been upgraded to RDA (not even to non-ISBD RDA) so is still considered a hybrid.
