Cataloging Reference Archive 586 Tag for Award Notes
Posted January 9, 2000
Question: Where should award notes be placed for things such as
Newbery, Caldecott, etc.?
Answer: The 586 tag is provided for award notes. The INFOhio
MARC Record Standards series and the INFOhio Guidelines for Enhancing MARC
Records (all available from our INFOhio
Cataloging MARC Documents page) may be helpful in entering this information
correctly.
Although Sirsi's K-12 product searches the 586 tag during an All Fields search,
MultiLIS software does not. MultiLIS users wishing to perform a search for various awards
should also enter the award information in a MultiLIS document type or a subject
keyword field. |
