[DCRM-L] Question concerning the use of RBMS Binding Terms for artists' bindings

[Jason Dean]

Marie-Chantal,

It seems to me that using a

655 _7 $a [binding term] $2 rbbin $5 [MARC code for your organization]

would serve your purposes. However, I am interested to hear what our
colleagues on the list say.

Best,

Jason
