Mary, we also strip the 029s as we don't see any reason to keep them. I'm just noting that stripping them on import may be why Elaine (& possibly Don) are unable to add them to records.

Elaine, is your system stripping the 029 on import of records into the system? If so this is why it will not save the 029 in a record. We just discovered this with our system (Sage Library System) recently with a different field. Once we removed the field from those that were being stripped on import we were able to have the field saved in the bib. Just a thought to explore & it may address Don's query as well, I'm not sure.

    An 029 is a field used by OCLC to “system control numbers for
    records from non-OCLC automated systems (e.g., Library and
    Archives Canada, the British Library, WorldCat Cataloging Partners
    vendors, etc.). OCLC uses these numbers to process and track
    records from other systems.” http://www.oclc.org/bib
    formats/en/0xx/029.html
    <http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/029.html>. Not sure why it
    doesn’t retain on save. An 019, which is another field specific to
    OCLC, does (see http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/019.html).
    029 seems to be system supplied; but, the 019 is system supplied…

    [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 016 & 029

    Hi Everyone,

    As part of a project to add more fields to the general keyword
    index, we discovered that we can't add the 016 and the 029 control
    number fields to a MARC record.

    It looks like it saves, but it isn't there when you do a new
    search. It also never shows on the MARC View screen.

    What do we need to do to add these fields?

    Thanks!

    Don
