The Ties that Bind Books: Adding Creator Characteristics and Binding Fields to Artist Book Records
Adding binding information field (563) to Artists’ Book records
Project Description:
563 MARC Field added to Catalog and OPAC. Resource Description Team will go through records to move binding information, if listed, from 500 Field to 563 Field. If not listed will indicate on sheet and gather information to add. From 12/2017 all artists’ books entered into collection will have 563 Field. Benefit is that patrons will be able to search for specific binding types more easily. If there is time and information is available will add 386 Field.
