Subject: Field 662 and its use in OCLC

This is in response to a query from Colleen Cahill (Jan.4, 2007)
concerning field 662. My apologies for not answering earlier.
Field 662 was issued in MARC 21 Update no. 6 (October 2005). OCLC
received a copy of Update 6 sometime after July 1, 2006. OCLC is
currently working on this update. I do not yet have a date for its
implementation but it should be later this year, possibly by mid-year.
Once I have a more specific date, I will let Maps-l subscribers know.
For the time being you cannot enter this field in WorldCat. If you have
any questions, please let me know.
