MARC 949 Usage :
Record Transfers & Item Records
Overview
Using this field in OCLC simplifies the task of creating item records, assigning locations and overlaying records in INNOPAC. Only a few of these codes are routinely used. Knowing some of the others that are available may be useful for special projects.
- Transferring bibliographic records from OCLC to INNOPAC
- Creating item records for INNOPAC using OCLC
- Transferring name authorities used as subjects.
Transferring Records
Example:
949 *recs=b;ins=cat;ov=.bxxxxxxxx;bn=wayne;b3=-;
Basics:
Tag: 949
First Indicator: Blank
Second Indicator: Blank
Fields are separated by a semicolon. The field must begin with an asterisk and end with a semicolon. The following codes are those most often used:
* Asterisk; First character in command field
recs= Specifies the load table to use (DO NOT EDIT)
ins= User initials ("cat" for Cataloging or individual initials)
ov= Specifies overlay action (ov=o will overlay by OCLC #)
bn= Bib. Location (bierc, sci, etc.)
ct= Cat. Date (ct=MM-DD-YY; (month, day, year)
b3= BCODE 3 (a.k.a. SUPPRESS) (dash "-" for no suppression; other options: z or s)
; Semi-colon; Last character in the command field
Item Records
Creating item records while in OCLC is very simple. Each item to be added to a single record is created using a separate 949 tag. If you have one item, add one 949. If you have 10 items, add 10 949 tags. The complete chart of available subfields is available online.

Transferring Name Authority Records as Subjects
Name authorities that you want to transfer as subjects need to have a special 949 inserted into them at the point of transfer from OCLC. This will force them into the subject index. The format is:
949 *atab=asub;
