We do that, too. In some cases, if the collection has been transferred
from another library, the other library *does* want it to display in the
catalog record that they formerly owned the book. In those instances, we
devise a mutually satisfactory 710 field for the name of the former
library and put $4fmo at the end (MARC relator code for former
owner).<br><br>

<b>Subject:</b> [DCRM-L] Recording previous library location?<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
</font><font face="Garamond">Dear DCRM-Lers,<br>
<br>
On the not-so-hot heels of my last cataloguing question (the whole 590
thing, remember that one?) I have another request for input about how
other libraries are recording certain information. Hey, we need another
rip-roaring discussion, right?<br>
<br>
We have a number of books that were previously part of a reference
library in an old administration building for our institution. That
building was sold a years ago, and the books are now part of our rare
book collection. Many of them belonged to our founder, before our
institution existed. We want to record somewhere in the MARC record the
fact that these books were once housed in this old administration
building, but it is not information that we ever want or need to have
display to our patrons, and certainly not to the world at large if at
some point we start submitting records to OCLC. But we do want the
information <u>somewhere</u>. <br>
<br>
A colleague suggested the 561 field, but I somehow don’t feel that that
field is back-end or “private” enough for this kind of information. Does
anyone else record previous locations (not so much previous owners or
collections as simply previous library location), and if so, where do you
put it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Katy<br>
