866 is exclusively for serials coverage statements in the holdings record.
There isn't an instance where a monographic record would have this, but an
open-ended series might.



852 tends to be a public note of any kind for the holding.  We may want to
concatenate instead of having two separate notes fields (or designate the
866 as "Serial Note:".  The way we are thinking, 866 $z are exclusively
coverage notes (some issues may be missing, bound volumes off site, etc.)

How will this play with the "Note" in line

Will they ever appear together? If so, we may want to order them next to
each other or put them in a notes variable which we append at the end or
put at the beginning.
