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

[Ann K.D. Myers]

Hi Francis,

We use the 979 field for fund information, which we have configured to display a digital bookplate as in this example: https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/13382263 You can scroll down to the bottom and click "Librarian view" in the bottom right to see how the MARC field is structured. However, this does not display with the pertinent holding, so if we have multiple copies purchased with multiple funds we would also have to use a 590 field to distinguish between them. I don't believe it is indexed as a search facet, though you can do a keyword search for the name of the fund. (We use the 541 field primarily for gifts, at least in our rare book records.)

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
