Field 035 contains a system control number for a record that belongs to a system other than the one whose number is contained in field 001 (Control Number), field 010 (Library of Congress Control Number), or field 016 (National Bibliographic Agency Control Number).  For interchange purposes, documentation of the structure and use of the system control number must be provided to exchange partners by the originating organization.  Each valid system control number and any related canceled or invalid control number are contained in a separate 035 field.
