MARC Content Designation Utilization Project first set of results: <http://catalogablog.blogspot.com/2005/12/marc-content-designation-utili zation.html> Basically what these charts tell us in very great detail is what elements have been included in fixed fields. What is meant by "utilization" is not use in OPACs, nor usage by patrons in searching OPACs, but rather inclusion in MARC records. They may have been coded, but totally unused after record creation. These charts detail coding practice, and what that tells us about which major cataloguing agency does what, but nothing else. __ __ J.
