D = Library of Congress (DLC)
P = Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC)
M = National Library of Medicine (NLM)

A = National Agricultural Library (NAL)
B = British Library (UKM)
C = Library and Archives Canada (NLC)
T = National Central Library of Taiwan (CYT)

Examples:

  • Held

  • Held/IR
    (Your library holds the item and has contributed IR(s))
  • Held/LHR/IR (Others: 21)
    (Your library holds the item and has both local holdings records and IR(s); also, 21 IRs contributed by other libraries are attached)
  • blank (no data)
    (Your library does not hold the item and did not contribute IRs for the record; also, there are no other IRs attached)
