[DCRM-L] A Holdings 655

[Robert Maxwell]

I think that sounds like a good idea but I don't think our system (or any other?) would index it, which is important. But maybe that could be overcome. Actually it would also be nice if holdings records could contain "local" added access points, e.g. for former owners. With the same caveat, needs to index.

Two questions:


  1.  If the MARC Holdings format included a field 655 for copy-specific genre/form terms, such as those in the Provenance facet of the RBMS CV<https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/rbmscv/cv00017.html>, would your library think about using it?



  1.  Would the MARC community scoff at a proposal for such a field?
