[DCRM-L] Comments please: Subfield $5 - copy specific notes

[Wickenden Jane]

The method below is also used by Oxford, or at least by the Oxford
University Early Printed Books Project. As I know from past experience.


I actually think this is the best option in many ways, as it disconnects
copy-specific information from the bibliographic record.

I'm only now catching up on reading this thread.  One new twist on where
to 
include copy specific notes is to input them as a |z note in the 852
field 
of the holdings record.  At Yale, the main catalog department has
started 
to do this for some of its records.  In particular this is done for
bound 
with notes and links to digitized versions.
