$u  Uniform Resource Identifier.

Subfield $u contains the Uniform Resource Identifier which provides electronic access data in a standard syntax.  CONSER members have decided that use of this subfield in 5XX fields to duplicate information in the 856 field should be minimized because of maintenance concerns.  Both the 5XX field $u and the 856 $u would need to be updated if the URI changed.
