Definition

The 878 field contains item information about indexes that are not separately cataloged in the holdings of the reporting organization. A display may be generated from the contents of field 877 and its related fields 852, 853/863, or 868 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.
