[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 016 & 029

[Hardy, Elaine]

I was able to add an 016 to a bib record in the PINES database. I was not 
able to add an 029



An 029 is a field used by OCLC to “system control numbers for records from 
non-OCLC automated systems (e.g., Library and Archives Canada, the British 
Library, WorldCat Cataloging Partners vendors, etc.). OCLC uses these 
numbers to process and track records from other systems.” 
http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/029.html. Not sure why it doesn’t 
retain on save. An 019, which is another field specific to OCLC, does (see 
http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/019.html). 029 seems to be system 
supplied; but, the 019 is system supplied…

Hi Everyone,

As part of a project to add more fields to the general keyword index, we 
discovered that we can't add the 016 and the 029 control number fields to a 
MARC record.

It looks like it saves, but it isn't there when you do a new search. It also 
never shows on the MARC View screen.

What do we need to do to add these fields?

Thanks!

Don
