The normalization process, CSU Remove 029,936,938,984 removes the 029, 936, 938, 948 and 984 Marc fields from bibliographic records. The 029 is removed because it is a vendor control number and serves no function in Alma. Furthermore, the Orbis Cascade Alliance found that numerous 029 fields caused problems with record processing. The 936 is Conser/OCLC miscellaneous data , and the 938 field field is vendor-specific data and the 984 . When a record is imported from Worldcat through Search External Resources, the 948 field indicates whether or not the title is held and how many other institutions hold this title. The 984 field is for local data.
