Announcement: Update on the use of the MARC 21 667 for notes regarding URIs in NACO records


Background: In 2019, participants in the PCC URIs in MARC Pilot<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/pilots/URIs-in-MARC-Pilot.html__;!!IBzWLUs!RF-zdcRRCTK80DTCgqgXJW2ZlJTVMhNav9d-64LsjMvBH9Lniy8x8VMz4p_ehqCpVNkoulfSr75W6XxU2ciX8IpVQw$> began adding URIs to the MARC 21 Authority 024 field. Later, the pilot was expanded to include 3XX and 5XX fields.  As part of the pilot, a 667 note was required.

Originally, the 667 note added was:

667 ## $a URIs added to this record for the PCC URI MARC Pilot. Please do not remove or edit the URIs.

Eventually, the requirement to add the 667 note for URIs in the 024 was discontinued, but a 667 note was still required when adding URIs to 3XX and/or 5XX fields:

667 ## $a URIs added to 3XX and/or 5XX fields in this record for the PCC URI MARC Pilot. Please do not remove or edit these URIs.

One of the outcomes of the subgroup was the creation of best practice guidelines<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/naco/documents/NACO-024-Best-Practices.pdf__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!hWq1McAoRvlKJJw6mbE95Kbludfnl26q-CwMstoPsixgHTW0exMJKlZP3bSQmqeiA0DdezF8y3FEZ4uWjdc$> for using the 024 field in NACO records.

Current Practice: NACO catalogers should no longer add a MARC 21 667 field note in name authority records when adding URIs in the 024, 3XX, or 5XX fields. When updating a NACO record for another reason, catalogers may delete any existing 667 notes about the inclusion of URIs. Catalogers are free to edit $0s and $1s in MARC authority fields if they contain errors that need to be corrected.
