John,

Your example seems correct. That's the right idea for populating that 
particular column, and how to represent what would be in an 853 (or 854 
or 855) tag.  Just make sure what you put in there is always valid JSON 
syntax for an array (your example is).

Of course I'm not guaranteeing that the whole serials system just starts 
working once that table is populated, I'm just saying you're doing it 
right for that column.

The holding_code column in serial.issuance works the same way for 863, 
864, or 864 tabs.
