Note: when cataloging directly on OCLC enter ‡7 information/codes in separate variable field 539. Field 539 is only used in OCLC; it is not MARC standard. When cataloging in Orbis, do not use field 539; enter the data in 533 ‡7. Records uploaded from Orbis to OCLC have ‡7 converted to 539 as part of the batch load. Records exported from OCLC have 539 converted to ‡7. See Bibliographic Formats and Standards for data entry guidelines when cataloging on OCLC. In OCLC, 539 is always entered directly after 533.
