A. General Information

This field contains information about other available physical forms of an item.

 

B. Processing Instructions

Processing instructions vary depending on the type of item whose record you are working on.

Print Copy Records

Delete a 776 and its corresponding 530 (if present) from a print record when the 776 refers to an electronic version and the record lacks a valid URL.

In the example below, a print record contains a 530/776 but no 856, so the 530/776 should be deleted.
