--- Comment #25 from Heather <heather_hernandez at nps.gov> ---
My understanding of the use of $z in many fields, including the 035, is the
same as Katrin's.  A number *that is still valid* in use in another system
can't be placed in a $z, and it hasn't been canceled in that other system.  It
is used exactly in that way in WorldCat--when records are merged, the ID
numbers of the subordinated & replaced records are placed in a $z of an 035.

A $z is also used in a similar way in bib records in the 020 ISBN field, for
example, if a lot of books have a misprinted and incorrect ISBN number, it will
be placed in a $z with the correct number in a $a.  But some people may still
be seeing and using the incorrect number, thus its presence in the record in
the $z.

So I think, too, that other system's valid ID numbers should be in a $a in
035s.
