Revision as of 07:36, 7 August 2015 by ErinBlake (talk | contribs) (Added subfield delimiters)

MARC field 581 in the Bibliographic record contains a citation or other information about a publication that is based on the use, study, or analysis of the materials described in the record. It is repeatable.

Note that it is not currently (Aug. 2015) possible to indicate through coding that the note only applies to a particular copy, or a particular institution.
