- Information relating only to local copies when the manifestation is not unique
- Specific reproduction information when bibliographic record is provider neutral and for locally digitized content that has been cataloged on a single record with its source material
- Subfield 5: Please note the following:
- Prior to July 2019, Harvard practice was to require the use of the subfield 5 with the holding unit’s local 3-letter when placing these fields in a holdings record (complete list found at Alma Merging Algorithms and Protected Fields).
- As of July 2019, this practice is no longer required, although individual units may wish to continue the practice. It does no harm to include this information should your unit wish to do so for reporting or other purposes.
- Please note that the subfield 5 is still required to identify the holding library when local access points are placed in the bibliographic record for non-unique manifestations, such as for provenance or genre terms. See below.
...
NB: For complete instructions on use of individual fields, please see the MARC21 documentation.
