506 0 Open access ǂg 20190207
‡q - Supplying agency
Subfield ‡q contains a MARC Organization Code, International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organizations (ISIL), or textual name of the organization or project responsible for the data in the field. See MARC Code List for Organizations, which also includes links to Canadian, United Kingdom, and German MARC Organization Code lists, along with the International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organizations (ISIL).
506 This collection is open for research ǂq InMuB
‡u - Uniform Resource Identifier
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for example a URL or URN, provides electronic access data in a standard syntax. The data that is accessed by the URI contains additional information about access restrictions. Repeat subfield if digital object has multiple identifiers (URIs).
Substituting hexadecimal notation for diacritics and special characters in Uniform Resource Identifiers. When recording a URI in subfield ‡u, you may enter most of the spacing characters listed below as either characters or their hexadecimal equivalents. Consult the table below.
Entry method | Name | Character | Alternative entry (hex value) |
---|---|---|---|
Enter as character or hex value | Spacing circumflex/circumflex accent | ^ | %5E |
Spacing underscore/low line1 | _ | %5F | |
Spacing grave/grave accent | ` | %60 | |
Spacing tilde/tilde | ~ | %7E | |
Enter as hex value only | Vertical bar | n/a | %7C |
1Because the Spacing Underscore may cause problems with MARC output, users may prefer to continue entering it with the hexadecimal value %5F.
506 1 Some restrictions apply. Consult restricted access file for restriction details: ‡u <URI>
‡2 - Source of term
Subfield ‡2 contains a MARC code identifying the source of the term used to record the restriction in subfield ‡f. Use a separate subfield for each source. The source of the MARC code is Access Restriction Term Source Codes that is maintained by the Library of Congress.
506 1 ‡3 Use copy ‡a In copyright material. Searches will return text snippets only. ‡f Preview only ‡2 star
‡3 - Materials specified
Subfield ‡3 indicates the part of the described material to which the field applies.
506 1 ‡3 Office files of Under-Secretary ‡a No one may examine these records or obtain information from them or copies of them except by written
permission; ‡b Secretary of the Treasury or his duly authorized representative; ‡c Kept in remote storage; Access requires 24 hours advance notice.
‡5 - Institution to which field applies
Subfield ‡5 contains the MARC code of the institution or organization that holds the copy to which the data in the field applies. It is used for institution-specific information that may or may not apply to the universal use of the holdings record. See MARC Code List for Organizations, which also includes links to Canadian, United Kingdom, and German MARC Organization Code lists.

‡8 - Field link and sequence number
Subfield ‡8 contains data that identifies linked fields and may also propose a sequence for the linked fields. Subfield ‡8 may be repeated to link a field to more than one other group of fields.
The structure and syntax for the field link and sequence number subfield is: ‡8<linking number>.<sequence number>\<field link type>
The linking number is the first data element in the subfield and required if the subfield is used. It is a variable-length whole number that occurs in subfield ‡8 in all fields that are to be linked. Fields with the same linking number are considered linked.& A linking number of "0" (zero) is not used in this field.
The sequence number is separated from the linking number by a period "." and may be optional. It is a variable-length whole number that may be used to indicate the relative order for display of the linked fields (lower sequence numbers displaying before higher ones).
The field link type is separated from preceding data by a reverse slash "\". It is a code indicating the reason for the link and it follows the link number or sequence number if present. The following one-character field link type code has been defined for use in subfield 8 in OCLC local holdings records: a - Action
Code a is used in a record to link one or more fields with another field to which the processing or reference actions relate. This code is typically used only when there is more than one 5XX that relates to another 5XX field.
