[DCRM-L] Fund information, for the online catalog

[Kira Barnes]

We use a 599 local field because there is no suitable field really. 541 is for most recent source of acquisition and often is not pertinent for a fund. Sometimes we purchase something with a fund but it is from a particular bookseller for instance. So we use the 599 to display.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Fund information, for the online catalog

Colleagues,

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 field 541 of the Holdings record<https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd541.html>, 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 and it would be indexed as a search facet.

What do others do?

Thanks,
Francis
