<div dir="ltr">These types of notes typically aren't displayed in our catalog, but when we do, we have been using Holdings 541 $a for the fund name (541 1_ $c Purchase; $a Fund name; $d Date.) . Though it's not an exact match as you point out, it seems to be a better match than other fields, if we consider the fund being the "source" of acquisition analogous to the donor of a gift. More commonly, we record donor names in this subfield for gifts, but in some cases the same person gave us their own books, as well as funds to purchase additional items for the same collection in their name, so this helps credit the person for both their gifts and funds in the same place, while keeping the gifts and purchases somewhat separate. I suppose the fund name is usually more institutionally relevant for public display in our catalog than the name of the bookstore or wherever the book was purchased from, but if needed, we could include both the source of purchase (e.g. a particular dealer, bookstore, auction house, etc.) and the fund name in the same subfield. Non-public fund information like acquisition codes sometimes ends up in 852 $x. Whether a gift or purchase, the presence of 541 1_ in the holdings currently generates an "e-bookplate" in our catalog. Prompted by this discussion I looked into it, and I now see our catalog indicates that such a purchase is a "Gift" even if the 541 $c and/or 008/07 code indicates it was a purchase. The fund itself was a gift, but I am now wondering if that display may be somewhat confusing or contradictory.<div><br></div><div><div>Example: <a href="https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/6197932" target="_blank">https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/6197932</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Matthew<br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 3:58 PM Rich, Allison <<a href="mailto:allison_rich@brown.edu" target="_blank">allison_rich@brown.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hi Francis:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We have always put in a 590 note reading:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">John Carter Brown Library copy acquired with the assistance of the [Name] Fund.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Allison</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 14:55 Lapka, Francis <<a href="mailto:francis.lapka@yale.edu" target="_blank">francis.lapka@yale.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">When you want fund information to display in the online catalog, what field do you use? My instinct is to find a home for it in
<a href="https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd541.html" target="_blank">field 541 of the Holdings record</a>, but the semantics of 541 subfields are all imperfect matches. In my ideal world, the fund data would display in alignment with the pertinent holding
