I've been following the development of the ISTC (International Standard Text Code -- see http://www.istcinfo.net/index.htm ) and wanted to ask/confirm a couple of things -- but as a non-cataloger, my first question is, does a MARC field exist for this? Is it field 024 (I have been searching some lists)?
The 024 is the most likely field, as there is a subfield $2 source code for the ISTC listed here: <http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/relaothr.html#rela024b> I don't recall coming across such a code in my cataloging experience, however. -- Mark K.
