<font size=3>Dear NACO catalogers,<br><br>
Larry Heiman recently asked me about an authority record with a 667 field
that simply says "Substitute." I couldn't find any explanation
in DCMZ1, LCRIs, NACO Participant's Manual, etc., so I asked our liaison
at LC, who asked Kay Guiles, who said: <br><br>
"I don't think this is documented any more, certainly not in Z1. One
aspect of it was to indicate that an authority card had been made as a
"substitute" for a previous one that was lost." <br><br>
I thought others might be interested in this historical tidbit of
information. LC says we can either leave such fields in the record or
delete them, whichever we prefer. Here is an example:<br><br>
001 3294855<br>
