Use local fields for the uses defined in the table of Local Fields in Alma & Primo (below). For a detailed list of local fields in Alma, see the document CSU Migration of Local Bibliographic Data to Alma Local Extensions to Bibliographic Records.
Most local fields in Alma are designed to mimic a specific non-local MARC 21 field. The local and non-local field equivalencies are shown in the table of Local Fields in Alma & Primo (below). It is essential that local fields that are designed to mimic regular MARC 21 fields must be formatted in the same way as those MARC 21 fields, including indicators and use of subfields, as the Primo normalization rules that control display and searchability are designed based on the assumption that the local fields will be formatted the same as the relevant non-local field.

Phrase vs. Keyword Searching
Local fields cannot be made "phrase" or "keyword" are indexed and searchable in Primo, as the Primo normalization rules only control what metadata is indexed for search. They have no influence on how Primo actually searches the data in those search indexes. Display and indexing of the fields in Primo is controlled at the installation level by the CSU as part of our standard configuration (i.e., Normalization Rules of the PNX record). Phrase versus keyword functionality is controlled in Primo by the user's search mode. When using basic search, clicking on a hyperlink executes a keyword search. When using advanced search, clicking on the hyperlink executes a phrase search.
