The Study Program Information Note (526 field) is a field used to denote reading levels of formal curriculum-based programs. Study programs include, but are not limited to, Accelerated Reader AR, Reading Counts RC, and Fountas and Pinnell. Marcive adds the Accelerated Reader note to the records. Records coming from OCLC can have 526 fields for other programs.
Format
A 526 field from Marcive has the following subfields:
| Subfield | Value |
| ‡a | Program Name |
| ‡b | Interest Level |
| ‡c | Reading Level |
| ‡d | Title Point Value |
| ‡z | Public Note |
- Example:

Searching
Only the ‡a is indexed in the PAC. Saved SQL queries can be used in Leap or the Client to search for records containing the other subfields. The queries are called “Study Program” and “Study Program by Branch.”
