From the CONSER At Large ALA Midwinter January 26, 2003, Philadelphia Summary of meeting.
510s in CONSER records. Hirons discussed the fate of the 510 abstracting and indexing/coverage fields in CONSER records, noting that a survey taken a number of years ago came out exactly 50/50. The PCC Policy Committee discussed in November and decided it was time to remove the fields without trying to store the data. Hirons and Glenn Patton (OCLC) wanted to reaffirm the sense of the group as to the desirability of doing so. A poll of participants showed that a majority favored removal. 510 data for titles maintained by the National Library of Medicine and Chemical Abstracts will be retained in the records, however.
