A local note applies to a specific copy of a title cataloged in VOYAGER. Local notes may be displayed in the OPAC to communicate information to catalog users, or they may be displayed only in staff mode to provide information for processing. Locations for recording local notes include subfield $x or $z of the MFHD record's 852, 866, 867, or 868 fields.

Staff Notes Anchor A A
Notes that contain processing information for staff do not display in the OPAC. Staff notes pertaining to the whole copy are recorded in the subfield $x of the 852. Use subfield $x of the 866, 867, or 868 for notes referring to that holdings statement. Several notes may be recorded for a single copy, but each should be in a separate $x subfield. When recording a note containing processing information for staff use, refer to Abbreviations Used in Notes to select appropriate abbreviations. If there is no abbreviation, record a concise note in your own words.

These notes should be recorded in the subfield $z of the 852. Several notes may be recorded for a single copy, but each should be in a separate $z subfield. Notes pertaining to retention and location information should use the text from the list of Previously Coded OPAC Notes and Patterns for OPAC Notes. Exceptions to this guideline are determined at the processing center level.
