Elaine, is your system stripping the 029 on import of records into the system? If so this is why it will not save the 029 in a record. We just discovered this with our system (Sage Library System) recently with a different field. Once we removed the field from those that were being stripped on import we were able to have the field saved in the bib. Just a thought to explore & it may address Don's query as well, I'm not sure.

An 029 is a field used by OCLC to “system control numbers for records from non-OCLC automated systems (e.g., Library and Archives Canada, the British Library, WorldCat Cataloging Partners vendors, etc.). OCLC uses these numbers to process and track records from other systems.” http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/029.html. Not sure why it doesn’t retain on save. An 019, which is another field specific to OCLC, does (see http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/019.html). 029 seems to be system supplied; but, the 019 is system supplied…**

Hi Everyone,

As part of a project to add more fields to the general keyword index, we discovered that we can't add the 016 and the 029 control number fields to a MARC record.

It looks like it saves, but it isn't there when you do a new search. It also never shows on the MARC View screen.

What do we need to do to add these fields?

Thanks!

Don
