Dear hive-mind,
Does anyone know why the Library of Congress-supplied MARCXML to MODS XSLT [1] does not handle the MARC 590 Local Notes field? It seems to handle everything else, not that I've done an exhaustive search... :)
Granted, I could copy/create my own XSLT and add this functionality in myself, but I'm curious as to whether or not there's some logic behind this decision to not include it. Logic that I would not naturally understand since I'm not formally trained as a librarian.
Thanks!
