<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I might agree, but I don’t think there is a potential system configuration nuanced enough for a hub and spoke approach. For example, I
<i>do</i> want to see an author attribution note based on an inscription in a single copy. I especially want to see such a note if it supports additional manifestation-level AAPs, which might not be tagged |5. I do not want to see local copy numbers, notes
on bookplates, etc. It feels like a display-based solution offers an all or nothing approach, with maybe an uncomfortable middle ground (e.g., display field when |5 = x institutions).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In principle, I agree that local/copy-specific data is best left out of the master record unless it is likely to be of interest in the wider bibliographic universe. Since moving to the UK, however, I have found that libraries on this side
of the pond generally do not catalog(ue) directly in OCLC Connexion, but instead import records for editing in the local ILS. At some regular interval, the records are then exported to OCLC through a more or less automated process. The individual cataloguer
has no control over what happens to the master record. As far as I can tell, this process strips out any 590 fields (which seem to be used very infrequently), but fields 541, 561, 563, or any headings tagged with $5 are left in. <o:p></o:p></p>

If your copy proves to you that the note is unnecessary, go ahead and delete it. But don’t delete all 500’s with subfield 5. As Richard says, they may contain important clues to some mysterious aspect of a book.
