We purchase MARC records along with the items we add to our collection. Our vendors are currently putting the bar code number in 852 subfield p. Our tech services dept. reports that when they import new records via MARC Batch Import we sometimes get holdings and sometimes we don't. They assure me that they always check Import Attached Holdings. This is not vendor specific and I can't see any difference between the MARC records which did attach a holding and the ones which did not. On the records I checked, it was very rare for a holding to attach. We can easily have our vendors change the field they send the barcode in. Is there a field which would work better than 852 $p? We are on Evergreen 1.6.0.8
Thank you.
