Dear Colleen,

I have never used this field but according to the latest  of  "MARC
Standards: MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data" list of valid
bibliographic fields (through /Cataloger's Desktop/) it IS valid. I've
seen, especially DLC, cataloging using the 752 instead of 662 to
document hierarchical place name (i.e. added entry as opposed to
subject).  Moreover, when I just tried to insert a 662 into my record,
OCLC Connexion gave me an invalid notice. Apparently, MARC21 and OCLC
Connexion are not in agreement about this field's validity.

?

Bests,
Amy Phillips
