Local Variable-Length Fields
MARC-tagged, variable-length fields used to hold data specific to one organization may be referred to as "local fields." For example, a 100 field (author) is not a local field, but a 500 field (note) is.
The field group tag for a local field can be any type that denotes data that is specific to one organization: for example, n (note) or c (local call number).
The MARC tag of a local field is often a 900-level tag: for example, 962 (containing links to images for the External Image Linking product) and 949 (specifying data and creating attached records for a batch record-loading product) are local fields.
