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!  :)
