This field contains system information for the item. Such information includes the absence or presence of certain kinds of codes or the physical characteristics of a computer file such as blocking factors, mode of access, parity or recording densities.
For software, enter data such as computer requirements (e.g., computer manufacturer and model, memory requirements or operating system), peripheral requirements (e.g., number of disk or drum units, number of tape drives, number of terminals, or other peripheral devices, support software or related equipment) or software programming language.
For sound recordings and videorecordings, use for information about the trade name or recording system(s) (e.g., VHS), modulation frequency and number of lines of resolution.

| ‡u - | Uniform Resource Identifier |
| |
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for example a URL or URN, provides electronic access data in a standard syntax. Use for automated access to an electronic item using one of the Internet protocols or by resolution of a URN. Repeat subfield if digital object has multiple identifiers (URIs).
Substituting hexadecimal notation for diacritics and special characters in Uniform Resource Identifiers. When recording a URI in subfield ‡u, you may enter most of the spacing characters listed below as either characters or their hexidecimal equivalents. Consult the table below.
Note: Do not confuse the spacing characters listed below with their long-valid non-spacing counterparts. Use of the spacing characters will be limited almost exclusively to URLs.

| ‡3 - | Materials specified |
| |
Subfield ‡3 contains information that indicates the part of the described material to which the field applies.
|
| ‡5 - | Institution to which field applies |
| |
Subfield ‡5 contains the MARC code of the institution or organization that holds the copy to which the data in the field applies. It is used for institution-specific information that may or may not apply to the universal use of the holdings record. See organization code sources for a listing of sources used in MARC 21 records.

|
| ‡8 - | Field link and sequence number |
| |
Subfield ‡8 contains data that identifies linked fields and may also propose a sequence for the linked fields. Subfield ‡8 may be repeated to link a field to more than one other group of fields.
The structure and syntax for the field link and sequence number subfield is: ‡8<linking number>.<sequence number>\<field link type>
The linking number is the first data element in the subfield and required if the subfield is used. It is a variable-length whole number that occurs in subfield ‡8 in all fields that are to be linked. Fields with the same linking number are considered linked. A linking number of "0" (zero) is not used in this field.
The sequence number is separated from the linking number by a period "." and may be optional. It is a variable-length whole number that may be used to indicate the relative order for display of the linked fields (lower sequence numbers displaying before higher ones).
The field link type is separated from preceding data by a reverse slash "\". It is a code indicating the reason for the link and it follows the link number or sequence number if present. The following one-character field link type code has been defined for use in subfield 8 in OCLC local holdings records: a - Action
Code a is used in a record to link one or more fields with another field to which the processing or reference actions relate. This code is typically used only when there is more than one 5XX that relates to another 5XX field.
