Thanks, Matt--I momentarily forgot that the description based on note gets combined with the source of title note in the CSR so it isn't true that "I would never use it for the source of title." But I can't recall having seen it used for source of title
<i>alone</i> (that is, without combining it with the description based on note). But I guess there is precedent for having that sort of information in 588.<br>

<div dir="ltr">P.S. I also generally have a preference for using a more precise MARC field than 500 when one is available, to support mapping out of MARC. And I do commonly see title source notes in 588 fields, because the CONSER standard record profile instructs
"Always make a note giving the source of title, even if it is the title page. Combine the note with a "Description based on" note (see 2.17.13). Encode the two notes in a single 588 field." <br>
<br>
The CSR's use of the field to combine separate notes notwithstanding, Erin and Bob have made great points about the definition of the 588 field and the need for more prominent display of title source data than is currently the case for 588 in some (many?) catalogs.<br>

The field is not restricted to serials use, but it isn't for "source of title"--it's for "source of description", i.e. the "description based on" note. This is much broader than where the title came from. It's used, of course, universally in serials records,
but I routinely use it in monograph records--for example to say that I'm basing my catalog record on the fourth (or fifteenth, etc.) printing of a manifestation, which may have some slight differences from what I would have found if I had actually had the
first printing in hand (e.g. addition of an ISBN or some different wording on the title page verso).</div>

But I would never use it for the source of the title. As others have noted, that needs to be up front, in a field that displays to the public (at least in our catalog we've set 588 not to display).<br>

Greetings, fellow catalogers, I recently heard a recommendation to use the 588 field for notes along the lines of “Title supplied by cataloger,” a common note in special collections cataloging. It would be useful to have a specific 500 note for this kind of
information, but I was under the impression in the 588 was only for serials use. Do folks think this field is appropriate for graphics, collections, monographs, etc., without indicators? I have asked among music colleagues on the Music OCLC Users’ Group, and
received a resounding yes. Is anyone here using the 588 for this kind of note? Had any experiences with the note not displaying in local catalogs, etc.? What have you learned if you are using this note, that you think others should know?</p>
