[DCRM-L] Library ID codes/$5 in master records

[Erin Blake]

The library ID code indicates where the information applies rather than
where it originates, though.  If a reliable date for an undated
publication can be supplied from a particular library's acquisition
records, wouldn't that be a general note?  A note in the master record
saying "Publication date from [Full Name of Library]'s acquisition
records" (without a library ID code) seems appropriate, since the
information applies to all copies.

And there are other instances where $5 identifiers are appropriate in
master records.  For example, you may find yourself doing original
cataloging of a work that does not bear a publication date, but local
records date the work reliably.  This could mean a note such as
"Publication date from library's acquisition records. $5 [code]"  At
times you may do original cataloging of a work that is not complete and
about which you cannot find further details.  This may also warrant
including in the master record information that would normally appear
only as a local note.
