We have recently seen 850 fields pop up in all kinds of records, from OCLC 
and Infotrac, for example, with holding libraries codes. Since we are using 
the 850 for displaying our journal holdings ("lib has"), we are not happy 
with this development, especially not when all these codes show up on the 
browse screen and in the lib has field in the records. I assume that this 
is a III problem because 850 = lib has in this system.
Can somebody please enlighten us why all of a sudden these holding fields 
show up? I cannot see them make any sense for our staff or users. How do 
you deal with them?

Thanks for any help.
