<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">I
think it would do more harm than good to expand the use of
500 ‡5 and other non-local note fields for our local data.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">From
a practical standpoint – I’ll spare everyone my objections
on the grounds of proper data modeling – my primary
objection to using 500 ‡5 in this context is illustrated by
the <i>Plexus</i> screenshot in Deborah’s initial email. In
that record, there are three notes concerning the SIU copy
that are presented (in Worldcat.org) as information
concerning the Manifestation. There’s no indication that the
information applies to a single copy. That’s disastrous.
Even if OCLC corrected its display to show that this is
item-specific data, do we really trust it to present the
item-specific information in a coherent manner if *<b>multiple</b>*
institutions have recorded local information?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">Consider
also the impact from the standpoint of cataloging workflow.
For as long as we’re importing records from OCLC to our
local catalogs, I’d rather not have to do more weeding out
of local information that doesn’t apply to my copy. Let’s
endeavor to leave Master Records free of copy-specific
information. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
