MARC Holdings Records

1.  INTRODUCTION

MARC Holdings records are used to identify the parts of multi-part items (complete and incomplete sets, multi-volume monographs, etc.) owned by Fondren Library and for all serial items received at regular or irregular intervals.  Text in the MARC holdings fields should be entered using current, ANSI/NISO Z39.71 standards for holdings records (see also 2.3 below)

...

NOTE:  The |t is placed after any notes in a subfield z and before any notes in a subfield x.  The note should read COPY 1-2 followed with the volume designation that are involved.  If all the holdings have a copy 2, it is not necessary to specify the volumes.  (For serials which have copies of numerous different volumes, it may be necessary to indicate second copy information in the appropriate 866 field as a text note.)
