Subject: Re: MARC Holdings Question (Jill Emery)

Hello list,

Jill Emery of UT-Arlington asked whether the MARC21 Format for Holdings
Data included 853 $v, which was missing from the field list at the head of
the Concise Holdings Format on LC's Web.  I contacted Rebecca Guenther of
LC.  She promptly replied that $v is still a valid element and she would
make an interim correction to the Concise Format.  She also said that the
MARC21 MFHD had been sent to the Cataloging Distribution Service and would
be out "fairly soon," and that the Concise Format may be updated first.
