866-868 Textual Holdings - General Information (Variable Data Fields)
866 Textual Holdings - Basic Bibliographic Unit (R)
867 Textual Holdings - Supplementary Material (R)
868 Textual Holdings - Indexes (R)
An 866-868 field contains a textual description which may include both the captions and enumeration and chronology for the holdings of a bibliographic item in the collections of the reporting organization. These fields are normally not used in holdings for single-part items. They may be used instead of the coded 853-855 Captions and Pattern and 863-865 Enumeration and Chronology fields for multipart and serial items when those fields cannot be used adequately to describe the holdings. The 866-868 fields may also be used in addition to an Enumeration and Chronology field and any related Captions and Pattern field to record and generate an alternative display for all or part of the enumeration and chronology and captions and pattern fields.
A general description of the four types of holdings data fields, their relationship to each other, and the repeatability of each is given in the 853-878 Holdings Data - General Information section. Guidelines for recording item information related to holdings data in the 866-868 fields is given in the 876-878 Item Information - General Information section.
Fields 866-868 are repeatable.
