Is there any field (tag / subfield) in UNIMARC / MARC 21 for storing information about who created and/or "last modified" a bibliographic record?
Depending on the context, I think you might find MARC21 fields 040 and 583 useful. http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd040.html http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd583.html
Very interesting. I had already found some references to the 040 MARC 21 tag ("Cataloging Source") - that corresponds to the 801 tag in UNIMARC ("Originating Source") that Henri-Damien Laurent also mentioned. I did NOT know about the 583 MARC 21 tag ("Action Note") - that corresponds to the 318 UNIMARC tag ("Action Note"). That also seems to be a good candidate for inserting information about what username (person) created/modified a bibliographic record, although none of the mentioned tags seem to have been created with this purpose in mind. Many thanks for the help MJ! :) Best wishes, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net
