Subfield 1 is used to enter the identification number of the record at the higher level, i.e., the record for the whole collection.

NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

Field 461 is used in the cataloguing of legacy collections and artificial collections if the material is catalogued at multiple levels. It is used in records at the lower and intermediate level.

A link from an item or subset to a set is always an upward link.

    (Record at the third level (ID=kkk). Božidar Borko's legacy collection is catalogued at three levels. At the first level is the record for the whole legacy collection (ID=nnn), at the second level are records for individual parts of the collection (ID=mmm) and at the third level records for individual items (e.g., ID=kkk). In all records at the second and third level, enter a field 461 with a link to the record at the highest level. In records at the third level, also enter a field 462 with the link to the record at the second level.)
