Description/Instructions

Field 035 contains a system control number other than that contained in field 001 (Control Number) or input in field 010 (Library of Congress Control Number) or that is contained in field 016 (National Bibliographic Agency Control Number). Field 035 may be used for control numbers assigned by the institution that created the record or by other institutions.

Each valid system control number must be input in a separate 035 field. Subfield $a contains the institution's NUC symbol (enclosed in parentheses), followed by the system number. An invalid or canceled control number is similarly structured in a subfield $z (NUC symbol enclosed in parentheses, followed by control number) and may follow the related valid number in the same 035 field.

Examples:

035 ## (MiEM)1000-767-0000

035 ## (CU-UC)05266207

035 ## (OCoLC)01625241

Subfields

For instructions on the use of subfield $6, see field 880.
