Subject:      Coding of Leader /06 on holdings record
Comments: To: [log in to unmask]

When cataloging remote electronic resources which are online bibliographic
databases, how does one code the Leader /06 (Type of Record) on the MARC
Holdings record?

I have coded the BIBLIOGRAPHIC Leader /06 (Type of Record) as "a" for
textual material and the 006/09 as "e" for bibliographic data.

For the HOLDINGS record this would appear to leave me two choices for the
Leader /06 (Type of Record) since I am assuming that the "y" (Serial item
holdings) would not apply in this instance:

        v       multipart item holdings
        x       single-part item holdings

Suggestions and guidance in this area will be greatly appreciated.
