URLs in 856 Fields:

Retention and Editing Procedures for Monographic Records

Retention Policy

It is NYU policy to retain only the following two categories of URLs in 856 fields in print (book) records.

Links to table of contents data on the LC web site, for example:

856 41 3 Table of contents
       u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/mh023/99018951.html

The portion in bold will always look like this; the remainder will differ for each book.

Links to electronic versions of books published by the National Academy Press (NAP), for example:

856 40 uhttp://books.nap.edu/books/0309068371/html/R1.html 

The portion in bold will always look like this; the remainder will differ for each book.

If you have a record containing a URL that doesn’t fall into either of the above categories, delete the entire 856 field. Many LC records will include an 856 field containing a link to publisher information. This field must be deleted. For example:

856 42 3 Publisher  description 
       u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/mh023/99018951.html

 

Editing Procedures

The following procedures do not pertain to records containing 856 links to National Academy Press titles. Refer to "Editing Member Copy for Electronic Books (e.g., National Academy Press Titles)" for instructions to follow for National Academy Press titles. Follow these editing procedures for all other types of URLs in 856 fields.

Further Search, Half-FastCat Books, and Marcadia Records Loaded into the Workfile

When evaluating member copy in AdvCat, retain or delete an 856 field based on the retention policy given above.

If you delete an 856 field, also check the bib record for related 006 and 530 fields. Delete the 006 and/or 530, if present. Values and text in these fields may differ from record to record, but they will look something like this:

006 m########d########

530 Also available via the Internet.

Make any other necessary edits and save the record.

When a record containing LC table of contents in the 856 field is saved in the main database, the system strips it from the bib record and automatically creates a separate LOCATION record that contains the URL and the following location information:

Institution

NYU

Sublocation

Web

Collection code

Internet

Call number suffix

Electronic access

In AdvHoldings, edit and save the Pieces record as usual. No additional editing of the location record containing the URL is required

FastCat Books

Records loaded into the main database and flagged as FastCat will require no additional editing at this time. LC records loaded into the main database as part of Marcadia processing will also require no additional editing.
