Hi Bri, On resource records, we use user-defined strings to store OCLC numbers, and have a little custom mapping that outputs these to the MARC 035 field. We also have a user-defined controlled vocabulary list that we use to assign records to a collecting area (e.g. Literature, US History) that correspond to a curatorial area of strength.
BTW I love this thread - it's great to see how others are using these fields.
