Fields 866-868 contain a textual description which may include both the captions
and enumeration and chronology for the holdings of a bibliographic item in the
collections of the reporting organization. These fields are normally used in
holdings for single-part items. They may be used instead of the coded
Caption and Pattern (853-855) and Enumeration and Chronology (863-865) fields
for multipart and serial items when those fields cannot be used adequately to
describe the holdings. The 866-868 fields may also be used in addition
to an Enumeration and Chronology field and any related Caption and Pattern field
to record and generate an alternative display for all or part of the enumeration
and chronology and captions and pattern fields.
A general description of the four types of holdings data fields, their relationship
to each other, and the repeatability of each is given in the
Holdings Data--General Information section. Guidelines for recording
item information related to holdings data in the 866-868 fields is given in
the Item Information--General Information
section.
