Use to create a link from the OPAC to a file in Archives at Yale or in another website.

Use subfield ‡3 or ‡y for text that will be hyperlinked in the OPAC. Use text that informs readers about the content of the linked information. Standard wording for finding aid links improves user experience. Catalogers should therefore consult with the Archival and Manuscript Description Committee for deviations from standard wording for 856 finding aid links.

Subfield ‡3 (linked text for Archives at Yale):

• For links to full finding aids in Archives at Yale, use "View a description and listing of collection contents in the finding aid"
• For links to partial finding aids, use language indicating which part of the finding aid users will be linked to, e.g. “Series I: View a description and listing of collection contents in the finding aid”

Subfield ‡y (linked text for other websites):

• Related finding aids at Yale: “Related material in [collection title] at [location]: View a description and listing of collection contents in the finding aid”
• Finding aid at an external institution: “View a description and listing of collection contents in an external finding aid at [institution name]:”
• Yale finding aids not in Archives at Yale (e.g. online PDF finding aids): View an online guide
• Analytic catalog record: Forms part of [collection title]: View a description and listing of the full finding aid

If more than one file or database is associated with the catalog record, enter multiple 856 fields, with text in each subfield ‡3 identifying the links.

Use subfield ‡z for a public note, such as instructions for paging.
