Summary of Decisions Made at the MARC Advisory Committee Meetings at ALA Annual, June 24-25. This summary also includes the MLA comments that were submitted to the MARC-L list in advance of the meeting. Proposal 2017-08: Use of Subfields $0 and $1 to Capture Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) in the MARC 21 Formats MLA comments: We support the proposal but would want it to specify in Proposed Changes that the new subfield $1 would be repeatable. MAC: Confirmed that the field should be repeatable. Discussion included whether fundamentally MARC was the best place for the RWO information, or at least whether an authority record was the best place for this information. Linked data workflows don’t necessary acknowledge “authority files” as the library world uses them. Mixed comments about the economics of supplying RWOs at all, system issues. In the end supported on the likelihood that $1 could see some use.
