The "9"s are available in all indicator positions for local use as defined in the MARC record (not MARC21) spec. [1] So what is in the MARC21 spec under a particular tag is the "non-local" values. I suspect that most systems just ignore any '9's they encounter unless those are defined as part of local system processing. kc [1] http://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/specrecstruc.html On 11/6/12 10:20 AM, Owen Stephens wrote: > According to the MARC spec, 035 doesn't support '9' as a valid indicator.

However, when I try to search for it with &query=marc.035:1="<util_num>", I get no results. I thought maybe this was because there's already another 035 field (with blank indicators) that's an OCLC number so I temporarily removed it... but that didn't solve the issue. >> >> Anyone have any experience with this?
