Dear hive-mind,
Does anyone know why the Library of Congress-supplied MARCXML to MODS XSLT [1]
does not handle the MARC 590 Local Notes field? It seems to handle everything
else, not that I've done an exhaustive search... :)
Granted, I could copy/create my own XSLT and add this functionality
I'm going to guess that it's because 59x fields are defined for local use:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd59x.html
...but someone from LC should be able to confirm.
