MARC field 583 in the bibliographic and holdings formats contains information about processing, reference, and preservation actions. Reference actions may include a brief statement about solicitation to acquire material, whether the solicitation is active or inactive, and the date of the last item of correspondence. Preservation actions may include a review of condition, queuing for preservation, and completion of preservation. Field 583 is repeatable to record information about different actions. Field 583 does not end with a mark of punctuation unless already present in the data.
Cataloging
The Cataloging and Metadata Department uses field 583 (usually only in the bib record) to gather statistics, and to indicate when preliminary cataloging has been done. It replaces use of initials and date in the 852ǂx.
Indicators
- First - always 0 for "private"
- Second - undefined (blank)
ǂ3 Materials specified (NR)
Use ǂ3 - Materials specified if bib record has multiple holdings.
ǂa - Action (NR)
Use a term from the following list:
- Preliminary cataloging (record meets Folger Preliminary cataloging standards
- Cataloged (item-in-hand cataloging, including copy-cataloging)
- Recataloged (item-in-hand recataloging of material previously cataloged on cards)
- Copy added (new holding added, bib record not substantially changed)
- Recon (information copied from cards)
- Upgraded (primarily used by Metadata Specialist and by interns doing database clean-up and enhancement; see also "Nonpublic note")
ǂc - Time/date of action (R)
Year and month the action was completed, in ISO 8601 format: yyyy-mm (do not include the day: it makes it harder to generate statistics, and can be found through the Voyager "History" tab if needed)
ǂj - Jurisdiction (R)
Funding agency or project name. Used only for grant-funded and other special projects.
ǂk - Action agent (R)
Your initials.
ǂn - Extent (R)
Number of physical pieces; for books, most often corresponds to “volumes.” Not used for "Preliminary cataloging" or "Upgraded".
ǂo - Type of unit (R)
Unit represented in the preceding ǂn. Always piece or pieces (whether it's a volume, a single-sheet print, a letter, etc.). Terminology for archival records yet to be determined.
ǂx - Nonpublic note (R)
Additional information. Used primarily to indicate the type of upgrade for "ǂa Upgraded" when the type of upgrade is one that's being counted for reporting purposes. Terms required if applicable:
- Folgerpedia
- Luna
ǂ2 - Source of term (NR)
Always local
ǂ5 - Institution to which field applies (NR)
Always DFo
Conservation
![]() |
- Describes completed as well as prospective actions
- Use controlled vocabulary terms from Preservation & Digitization Actions: Terminology for MARC 21 Field 583
acquired surrogate | microfilmed | stabilized |
condition reviewed | rebound | transferred to optimal storage |
conserved | repaired | transformed digitally |
digitized | reproduced in analog | withdrawn |
housed | reproduced in print | other |
mass deacidified | retained |
ǂb Action identification
- May be used to cite a local database record number (such as the conservation database) when more extensive treatment documentation exists or to cite a grant or other project number
ǂc - Time/date of action (R)
- Required subfield
- Use format yyyymmdd
- If month or day is unknown, leave blank
- The date in the |c lets you know that "as of this date" such-and-such was the case. We use it for books in Hamnet when damage is noted (so reading room staff know that an item was damaged before it was given to the reader if they come across something when checking the book in).
ǂh - Jurisdiction (R)
- Used to record grant information for statistical purposes, e.g.,
NEH Sh.Col.
ǂk - Action agent (R)
- Catalogers and curators, put your own initials for "condition reviewed"
- Conservators, use your name
- Other departments, use your department name (e.g. Acquisitions, Reading Room)
ǂl - Status (R)
- Use terms from controlled vocabulary terms from Preservation & Digitization Actions: Terminology for MARC 21 Field 583 when ǂa (Action) is
condition reviewed
- If the damage is bibliographically significant (for example, missing plates) notify the relevant cataloger so that an "Imperfect" note can be added
- If standard vocabulary doesn't apply, or to provide additional information, use ǂx (non-public note) or ǂz (public note) if appropriate.
- (list below last updated Feb. 2, 2013):
acidic paper | insect damaged | rehoused poorly |
alkaline paper | loose | repaired previously |
annotated | marginalia | scratched |
blocked | missing | stained |
brittle | mold damaged | sticky shed |
damaged | mutilated | torn |
defaced | not intact | undamaged |
delaminated | obscured | vinegar syndrome |
do not treat | obsolescent format | warped/cockled |
faded | oxidized | water damaged |
flaked/cracked | rebacked | |
foxed | redox |
ǂx - Nonpublic note (R)
ǂz - Public note (R)
ǂ2 - Source of term (NR)
- Add
ǂ2 pda
when using controlled vocabulary in ǂa or ǂl
ǂ5 - Institution to which field applies (NR)
- Always add
ǂ5 DFo
, even when the bibliographic record describes a unique item
Policy and formulation
- Make duplicate notes in the bibliographic and holdings records.
