<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">One hates to dispute the institution's own stated preference, but I doubt whether "Explore the British Library" has, by our standards, a terribly long future as a name for the catalogue. It's not really a title, just an invitation (or a command?)--by a bookish analogy, more like the sort of phrase you'd see on a dust cover. The thing seems to called "primocat", or perhaps "<a href="http://primocat.bl.uk">primocat.bl.uk</a>", or "<a href="http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library">explore.bl.uk/primo_library</a>", though it <i>is</i> quite sensibly designated "main catalogue", a more durable and informative term.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">But apart from that kind of fluff, what about the 510 subfield c?

Is there some sort of durable URL that would enable precise access to the description referred to by way of the 510? For online resources, a subfield u seems almost indispensable, assuming that it's not subject to change in the next database upgrade. That's the e-equivalent of an entry or page number.</font></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><font face="'courier new', monospace">RICHARD NOBLE :: RARE MATERIALS CATALOGUER :: JOHN HAY LIBRARY</font><div><font face="'courier new', monospace">BROWN UNIVERSITY :: PROVIDENCE, R.I. 02912 :: 401-863-1187</font></div><div><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><</span><a href="mailto:RICHARD_NOBLE@BROWN.EDU" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace" target="_blank">Richard_Noble@Br</a><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><a href="http://own.edu" target="_blank">own.edu</a></span><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">></span></div></div></div>

Here is the record I want to cite:<br>
<a href="http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/dlDisplay.do?vid=BLVU1&afterPDS=true&institution=BL&docId=BLL01004839781" target="_blank">http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/dlDisplay.do?vid=BLVU1&afterPDS=true&institution=BL&docId=BLL01004839781</a><br>
<br>
Is the name of the catalog "Explore the British Library"?? Or maybe it's "Main catalogue"??
<br>
<br>
510 4_ $a Explore the British Library, $c entry 004839781<br>
vs.<br>
510 4_ $a British Library. Main catalogue, $c entry 004839781<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I took the 510 $c from the MARC 001 field, called the "Identifier" in the public display.
<br>
<br>
I'd like to add a 510 $u as well but the URL for the record is so long and ugly. Is there an easy way to construct "Permalinks" for records in this catalog?
<br>
<br>

<div>I'm not really familiar with Primo discovery layers ...<br>
