Policy and formulation

  • When an item has been designated as restricted, add an identical 506 field to both the bibliographic and holdings records for that item, using appropriate language based on the models below.
  • Add a concise explanation of why items are restricted for the benefit of Reading Room staff in ‡x See discussion
  • If there is more than one volume or more than one copy, identify which are the restricted items using ‡3 (materials specified).
  • The field generates an "Access Advisory" label. Place a "Do not remove from shelf" flag in restricted materials, which can be obtained from a curator, writing the reason for restriction on the back of the flag.
  • Legacy: restricted notes were formerly put in field 852 ‡z.
  • Note: The following strings can be copied-and-pasted directly into Connexion
