FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

 

These fields contain item level information about the pieces to the item specified in the holdings record. They contain various data elements that it may be desirable to record for specific items for use in acquisition or circulation applications, among others.

This field may also be used to gather together separate bibliographic entities contained in a single physical item (“bound-with” situation) by recording an identical barcode in subfield ‡p or internal item number in subfield ‡a in each separate holdings record. In this situation subfield ‡3 (Materials specified) is used where applicable to indicate specific issues of serials or multipart items contained in the single physical piece.

Linking Item Information to Holdings Items - For the following holdings configurations and levels, item fields are linked to the pieces to which they apply as indicated below.

Single physical part holdings item:

Multiple physical part holdings item:

‡h - Use restrictions
 

Subfield ‡h contains information about any restrictions on the use of the item. It is used when it is necessary to include information that is too item specific to be handled by field 506 (Restrictions on Access Note) in the bibliographic record. Subfield ‡h may be recorded in either textual or coded form. Codes may be locally defined.

‡l - Temporary location
 

Subfield ‡l contains temporary location for an item. This subfield is not intended to provide circulation information, but temporary location information relative to the permanent location specified in field 852 (Location). If desirable, a local subfield ‡9 may be used for dates.

Subfield ‡z contains any notes relating to the item described in this field. The note is written in a form adequate for public display.
‡3 - Materials specified
 

Subfield ‡3 contains information that specifies the volume or range of parts to which the item information field applies. If a range of parts is recorded in fields 866-868 that do not correspond to the actual physical piece, the subfield ‡3 must represent an individual piece, not a series of pieces. Subfield ‡3 may also be used to specify the subset in field 583 (Action Note) or fields 863-865 (Enumeration and Chronology) to which the item information applies.

‡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>

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 (.). 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).

Subfield ‡8 is always the first subfield in the field when it is used.
