The MARC21 Format for Holdings Data (MFHD) is a format designed to provide bibliographic resource locations, notes, and detailed descriptions of holdings of multi-part resources such as serials, as well as pattern information for predicted serials issues. This workshop is designed for those who are new to or need a refresher on MFHD.
The webinar series is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Use of MFHD and its function in an online system, Z39.71 content standards, and scope of content coverage.
Part 2: Details of the MFHD leader, variable control fields, and variable data fields, including location data.
Part 3: Pattern data and how they are constructed and used.
The webinar series will include practical exercises in establishing publication patterns according to the MARC Format for Holdings Data. The exercises will focus on materials published in regular publication patterns and will not include irregular or exceptional publication patterns.
Learning Outcomes include the following:
Identify and construct variable data and control fields necessary for MARC Holdings information
Comply with OCLC requrements for MARC Holdings standards
Understand MFHD variable data fields and subfields for pattern data
Construct basic pattern data for serial frequency patterns
