Elizabeth's example is more or less what I was expecting. <br><br>
Whether subfield $u displays and what data is treated as a hyperlink is
system-specific. I suspect that most systems would display the URL
and hyperlink from that; some may allow other configuration
choices. I don't think MARC itself would specify that.<br><br>
As to what URL should be used, I'm glad Elizabeth illustrated use of the
LCCN-based URL. This is an example of a URL that is almost a URN
and is (I would hope) a persistent identifier. We want to encourage
people to use links that will be as universally meaningful as possible,
and this is a very good example of that.<br><br>

some of the CPSO folks an update on our progress. In explaining the 510$u

URL for bib records (LCCN-based) in LC's OPAC (Jain's
suggestion).
Present bib for an Evans title:

040 __ |a DLC |c CarP |d DLC

Same with a revised 510 (made-up subfield for the URL to the Evans bib
record):
010 __ |a 65058528
040 __ |a DLC |c CarP |d DLC
050 00 |a BJ1597 |b .A25 1744
245 03 |a An abstract of the remarkable passages in the life of a

gentleman.
250 __ |a 4th ed.
260 __ |a Boston, |b Printed by Rogers and Fowle for Edwards, |c 1744.
300 __ |a 192 p. |c 15 cm.
510 4_ |a Evans |u
<a href="http://lccn.loc.gov/67004309" eudora="autourl">
http://lccn.loc.gov/67004309</a> |c 5375</b>
Evans' LCCN is indeed 67004309.
Perhaps this is a system-specific issue, but how would this display on
the OPAC side of the catalog? Would "Evans" be a blue
hyperlink? Is that
anything that John needs to address in the MARBI proposal he drafts?
