The default framework includes two subfields in the 856 that should be reconsidered. $k Password $l Login $k is not a subfield included in the MARC standard and should be removed. See the Library of Congress page on this: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd856.html $l is meant to be used to indicate access restrictions and is associated with access restriction codes. Also referenced in the link above. As currently defined in the framework, these could have security concerns. These subfields do not show by default in the staff interface or OPAC, but a password or login should likely not be stored in plain text in a MARC record either.
Hi Esther, as we cannot tell what customizations libraries have made to their frameworks we have decided not to update frameworks in existing installations on update. But we have updated the frameworks. Please note that $k was indeed a valid subfield until 2020: $k - Password [OBSOLETE, 2020] If you take a look at a new installation and the default frameworks there, you'll see that they have been updated (with 23.11). $k has been marked as [OBSOLETE] $l has been renamed to "Standardized information governing access" If we removed/deleted subfields, we'd risk that the libraries are using data they have stored there.
... we have updated the frameworks for new installations (missed a few words there)
Since this has been fixed, we can probably mark this as resolved?
Yes, we can. We were quite behind with the MARC updates, but thankfully Caroline made sure we caught up for 23.11 at least.
