Use for notes that are Folger-specific, but not copy-specific, such as the Folger call number for related material. This note generates the label "Folger copy" in the bibliographic record. A 590 is preferable to a 500 note with ‡5 DFo because we train users to think of "Notes" as the heading for information that applies to all copies of a title, and "Folger copy" as the heading for notes that apply only at the Folger. In most cases, the note is specific to a particular copy, so it goes in 852‡z for that copy, but in some cases the note applies to any copy held by the Folger.
For example, the bibliographic record for the guide to the microfilm set Lauderdale Papers, c1647-1682, from the British Library, London has the 590 note "Listing and guide to Folger Film Acc. 744."
MARC 590 in the bibliographic record was previously used for all copy-specific notes in Folger records. Later, MARC 876ǂz in the holdings record was used. Currently, copy-specific notes are recorded in MARC 852ǂz in the holdings record (and copied to a non-displaying MARC 852ǂz in the bibliographic record for easier keyword searching).
