Definition |
Item level information about a basic bibliographic unit in the holdings of the reporting organization. A display may be generated from the contents of fields 876-878 and its related fields 852, 853/863, or 866 to which it is linked by subfield ǂ8 or related by subfield ǂ3. A general description of the four types of holdings data fields, their relationship to each other, and the repeatability of each is given in the 84x-87x Holdings Data Embedded in Bibliographic Records. |

Subfields |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂa Internal item number | Contains the unique identifying number for the item.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂb Invalid or cancelled internal item number | Contains the invalid or cancelled internal item number. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂc Cost | Contains the price or cost replacement fee for the item. May be qualified in parentheses by type of cost (e.g., normal, discounted, replacement).
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂd Date acquired | Contains the date the item was acquired in the form YYYYMMDD. If it is associated with a cost, it follows the subfield ǂc to which it applies. The date is recorded according to Representations of Dates and Time (ISO 8601).
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂe Source of acquisition | Contains the information about the acquisition of an item. May be recorded in either textual or coded form. Codes may be locally defined.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂh Use restrictions | Contains 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 in the bibliographic record. May be recorded in either textual or coded form. Codes may be locally defined.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂj Item status | Contains the information about the permanent status of the item (e.g. lost or withdrawn). May be recorded in either textual or coded form. Codes may be locally defined.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂl Temporary location | Contains the temporary location information relative to the permanent location specified in field 852. Not intended to provide circulation information. If desirable, a local subfield ǂ9 may be used for dates.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂp Piece designation | Contains the barcode or other machine-readable piece designation (such as OCR) associated with the item. Accession numbers are recorded in field 852 subfield ǂp.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂr Invalid or cancelled piece designation | Contains the invalid or canceled machine-readable piece designation.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂt Copy number | Contains the copy number.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂx Nonpublic note | Contains a note relating to the field. The note is not written in a form that is adequate for public display. A note adequate for public display is contained in subfield ǂz.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂz Public note | Contains a note relating to the field. The note is written in a form that is adequate for public display. It contains information that cannot be contained in subfield ǂa. For example, it may be used to specifically record missing issues or numbering irregularities. A note not adequate for public display is contained in subfield ǂx. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂ3 Materials specified | 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 866-868 Textual Holdings Statement Fields that do not correspond to the actual physical piece, the subfield ǂ3 must represent an individual piece, not a series of pieces. Subfield ǂ3 may also be used to specify the subset in field 583 or 863-865 Enumeration and Chronology Fields to which the item information applies.
For more information about subfield ǂ3, see Control Subfields. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
ǂ8 Field link and sequence number | Contains data that identifies linked holdings data fields and may also propose a sequence for the linked fields. Subfield ǂ8 may be repeated to link a field to more than one other group of fields. 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 ǂ8 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 ǂ8 is always the first subfield in the field when it is used.
For more information about subfield ǂ8, see Control Subfields. |
