Best Practice
The Metadata Standards Working Group recommends use of MARC21 field 710 for local collection names, with the use of the appropriate 3-character Harvard local code in a subfield 5.
...
Please note: all local collection names should be used with a $5 and a local Harvard three-character code to prevent the information from being exported to OCLC and to protect the field from possible overlay. While not strictly required for unique materials (e.g., manuscripts and archival collections), units may choose to use the $5 for these materials as well.
