I believe we will only need to add a few labels to the music format.

The 246 field is the biggest change. Please refer back to the message from Linda Smith for the books format. She covered the 246s and the new labels required for the 246s very well. I do not believe we will have to add to it for the music format. Please let me know if you feel differently.

We will need to add a new label for the 546 language field. I suggest the label: LANGUAGE

Robena and I are also discussing changing the 511 label with indicators of Blank and 0 to Participant: (the current label is Particpant/performer)

I would like to add a label for the 505 field, with a 2nd indicator of 2. The label could read: Partial contents: I thought about using a print constant here, but that would look odd, and we do have room to add labels in the music format.

I would also like to change the order of the long view for the OPAC. It has always bothered that the 505 field (the Contents note) and the 520 field (the Summary note) are displayed so early in the long view. When everyone was having cards printed up for their card catalogs, the order was the AACR2 order. I would like to follow this order as closely as possible. This is a rough draft of what I am proposing for the 5xx fields: (The 2nd column is the indicators).

521      Intended audience:                                               
505 01   Contents:                                                         
505 2    Partial contents: 

The above fields without a label are falling under the label Notes: The label Notes: is only printed once.

The 511 field with indicators of 2 and 3 are now obsolete, but keep in mind that we have a lot of bib records already in our files that have those indicators, so we'll need to keep the labels.

At UNF we currently use 31 labels. The above changes would add 2 labels and change 1 label, with a possible reordering of the 5xx fields.
