MLN2 949 control field to create attached items to loaded records

When bibliographic records are loaded, attached item records can be created with a 949 control field in the MARC record. This describes the method to do this.

Whether or not items are created depends on the load profile selected when loading.

In SkyRiver

The 949 control field to create an item looks like this in Connexion:
949 __ |i1070003542208|lflgmn|aBL782|b.S7 1979|t18

Marc tag is 949, both indicators are blank. This is not standard for Sierra.
The ǂ is the subfield delimiter in Connexion.

In MarcEdit

You can add these fields in MarcEdit as well. In that case use the $ for the subfields and don’t include spaces around the delimiters. The same field would look like this in MarcEdit:

=949 \\$i1070003542208$lflgmn$aBL782$b.S7 1979$t18

Not all of the loaders you might choose respond to this control field. Check the load profile document for what triggers item record creation in each loader.
