[DCRM-L] spotting a preface before subfield c in 510s

[Schneider, Nina]

Hi all,

Recently, I noticed that a few OCLC records coded DCRMB in the 040$e have the word “entry” immediately following the subfield c in the citation/reference note.

So, instead of this:
510 4_ English short title catalogue, ǂc S95920

I’m seeing this:
510 4_ English short title catalogue, ǂc entry S95920

Admittedly, I haven’t been following recent updates with BSC, but I did look at the MARC website at LC and they don’t prescribe the use of the word “entry” and there’s no mention of its use on the RBMS Standard Citation Forms website.

Perhaps this preface is helpful to someone reading the MARC record, but it seems incorrect from a machine-readable point-of-view. Is there a new policy about adding “entry” to subfield c?

Thanks!!

Nina
