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

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Hello everyone. Our current procedures for identifying fund names in catalog records evolved in the wake of the Folger's adopting Tessitura<https://www.tessituranetwork.com/>. They can be found in this Folgerpedia article<https://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Virtual_bookplates>.

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://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/yv5HC73yPMHRNwKh8BRcD?domain=loc.gov>, 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
