Re: [CatSIG] [aliaCATLIBS] Holdings 852 7_ $2 values

Thanks Brian and Christine. I couldn't see for looking! Still nothing specific for dear old Boggs and Lewis but at least I have the list. We can make decisions from there. Pamela ________________________________ From: Gilberthorpe, Brian [mailto:brian.gilberthorpe@ccc.govt.nz] Sent: Friday, 4 April 2008 12:18 p.m. To: Pamela Treanor Subject: FW: [aliaCATLIBS] Holdings 852 7_ $2 values Do you have to have something in the first indicator position and therefore, theoretically need something is subfield 2? We use DDC but have nothing in the first indicator position - mainly because of migration. But it works without it. The codes are in the MARC code lists for relators, sources, description conventions, and, at a quick look, there is nothing in that for Boggs & Lewis.

Holdings 852 $2 Code list
by Pamela Treanor 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hallo Cataloguers, Does anyone know where I can find a code list for values to go in the $2 subfield of the 852 field in a holdings record, if I were to use the first indicator "7" e.g. 852 7_ $b CMap $h 830 $2 (Boggs & Lewis) or am I completely on the wrong tack as far as the usage of this goes? Trouble is, there is no value in the first indicator list for Boggs and Lewis. We've been (ouch!) using "1", the Dewey code as the nearest thing.
