Books with Bookplates

We receive new books with bookplates in them as part of a Development campaign for the Temple University Libraries.

When a book has a red flag that indicates the book has a bookplate, add a special field to the bibliographic record to put in the name of the donor.

The field is the 541 note. Format it like this:

541   Donor last name, Donor first name ; $$c Gift ; $$d year

For example:

541   Myers, Penelope ; $$c Gift ; $$d 2006

For books that are the gift of an estate, format the note like this:

541   Jason, Mitchell, Estate of ; $$c Gift ;  $$d 2015

Both indicators are blank.

The name of the donor will be supplied on the flag in the book. If the year is not given on the red flag, use the current year.

After adding the field to the record, remove the flag from the book and discard it.
