Thank you, Katrin!

Yes--I was confused, and understand much better now--thank you!  I think one
reason is that OCLC libraries (like ours) don't have LDR position 19 accessible
or displayed (maybe not even used) in their records at all--the Connexion
Client software doesn't seem to allow for display or coding of this field.

I know it is common for academic libraries to have a bib record on which they
order & receive the volumes of a monographic series, and then catalog the
volumes of the series on their own bibs, but the relationships in the bib
records would be expressed with 7XX linking entry fields.  The serial record
used for acquisitions is sometimes even suppressed from public display.

In the US, typically a record with 490/8XX fields will not have its 8XX field
linking to another bib but to an authority record for the series.  According to
CONSER (Library of Congress) the 830 is an authorized access point (i.e., that
must be authority controlled) so points to an authority record, not a bib
record.

So I'm probably not the best person to try to understand, explain, and help
craft documentation for this feature--it sounds like it's more for a non-US
cataloging workflow where a volume in a monographic series would have an 8XX
pointing to a bib record (rather than carrying a 7XX linking entry field
pointing to a bib record).

I don't have access to a cataloging system that can show/verify the LDR
position 19, so I can't verify that MARC21 coding is correct for this feature
to work.  I wish I could be more help!
