FORMAT INTEGRATION WORKSHOP: MAJOR CHANGES FOR BOOKS
by Crystal Graham
February 7, 1995
This is a summary of the major changes for books due to
format integration. More detailed information is available in
the USMARC Format for Bibliographic Data. Special fields for
Special Collections (e.g., $5) and CJK (e.g., $6) are
not shown in these examples.
CHANGES IN TAGS FOR NOTES
Four types of notes formerly tagged as 500 general notes in the
books format are now coded with specific tags for
numbering, language, issuing body, and accompanying computer
diskettes.
515 -- Numbering peculiarities note (primarily used for
multivolume sets)
250 3rd ed.
300 2 v. ; $c 26 cm.
515 Vol. 2 lacks edition statement.
538 -- Systems details notes
538 System requirements for accompanying disk:
Macintosh.
546 -- Language notes
245 00 Bilingual business grammar = $b gram tica
comercial biling e / $c Louis Chacon ... [et al].
546 English and Spanish.
550 -- Issuing body notes
550 Issued in conjunction with the Society for
Engineering Excellence.
CONTENTS NOTE SUBFIELDING
Subfields have been defined for the elements of the 505
contents note. Use of these subfields is optional.
Contents notes may be coded at base level (with all data in $a)
or at enhanced level (using three new, repeatable
subfields).
Base level records:
Second indicator = [blank]
Subfield code = $a
Enhanced level records:
Second indicator = 0
Subfield codes:
$g - Miscellaneous information (e.g., vol. numbering, extent
information)
$r - Statement of responsibility
$t - Title
505 00 $t Quark models / $r J. Rosner -- $t
Introduction to gauge theories of the strong,
weak, and electromagnetic interactions / $r
C. Quigg -- $t Deep inelactice leptognucleon
scattering / $r D.H. Perkins -- $t
Jet phenomena / $r M. Jacob -- $t An
accelerator design study / $r R.R. Wilson. --
$t Lectures in accelerator theory / $r M.
Month.
505 00 $g v. 1. $t Carbon -- $g v. 2. $t Nitrogen $g
v. 3. $t Sulphur -- $g v. 4. $t Metals.
505 20 $t Baptisms, 1816-1872 -- $t Church members,
1816-1831 -- $t History of the Second Presbyterian
Church of West Durham / $r by L.H. Fellows.
* Note that the $t is repeated at the beginning of each
title, regardless of whether there are intervening
subfields.
NOTES FOR MICROFORM REPRODUCTIONS &
PHOTOCOPIES
Notes about microform reproductions, photocopies, and other
macroreproductions, formerly input in 500 fields following
the 533, are now input in $n of the 533 field. Subfield n
is repeatable.
533 Microfilm. $b New York : $c New York University,
$d 1964. $e 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm. $n Pages 106-112
filmed upside down. $n Some frames out of focus.

California, San Diego, $d 1994. $e 1 microfilm
reel ; 35 mm. $n Filmed with: Iris unveiled.
533 Photocopy. $b Ann Arbor, Mich. : $c University
Microfilms Dissertation Services, $d 1993. $e 214 p. ;
25 cm. $n Leaves reproduced intact two per page.
LINKING CONTROL NUMBER
The 011 field for linking LC control numbers has been
abolished in favor of the 776 $w.
When cataloging a microform reproduction or photocopy for
which you have a Library of Congress catalog record for the
original, record the Library of Congress card number of the
original in field 776 $w of your record, as shown:
776 1$c Original $w (DLC) 24020326
TITLE ADDED ENTRIES
With format integration, title added entries can be tagged
in three different ways:
246 - Variant titles
730 - Related/ analytical titles entered under uniform title
740 - Related/analytical titles not in catalog entry form
Descriptions of fields:
730 -- USE THIS FIELD TO CITE RELATED TITLES AND ANALYTICAL
TITLES WHICH HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED UNDER TITLE.
* Use of this field has not changed for the books
format.
* The added entry is usually justified by a note in the
catalog record.

for $a following $i, as well as $a in the initial
position.
* No punctuation mark is given at the end of the 246
field.
* The order of input of multiple 246 fields is
customarily as follows:
246 fields with 2nd indicator 0
246 fields with 2nd indicator 1
Other 246 fields in the order prescribed by
the rules Indicators for the 246 field:
FIRST INDICATOR -- NOTE CONTROLLER/TITLE ADDED ENTRY
0 - Note, no title added entry
Use in the rare circumstance where a note is useful for
identification of the piece but is not a useful access
point, for example, a generic title like "Report."
245 00 Rainfall report.
246 0 $i Some vols. have title: $a Report
1 - Note, title added entry
Use with most variant titles appearing on the piece.

SECOND INDICATOR -- TYPE OF TITLE.
* Use this indicator to identify the source of the
variant title (not the source of the title proper).
* Use this indicator (or this indicator in combination
with $i) instead of a 500 note for variant titles.
[blank] - No information provided.
Use with title variations which do not appear on the piece, such
as spelled out forms and corrected titles.
245 10 Superbowl XXIX program.
246 3 Superbowl 29 program
* For title variations not on the piece, the first
indicator is usually 3.
Use with $i to explain the source of the variant title when there
is no specific indicator for that variation. The
subfield $i gives the introductory phrase, followed by the
variant title in $a.
245 00 Computerized engineering index.
246 1 $i Also known as: $a COMPENDEX
* For variant titles explained in $i, the first
indicator is usually 1.
Important points:
* The $a must be input before a title which follows a $i phrase.
* The cataloger may choose to use 2nd indicator "3"
[other title] instead of formulating a $i if the source of the
variant title is not considered important or is difficult to
describe.
0 - Portion of the title
Use 2nd indicator 0 when a portion of the title, such as
other title information, a part or section title, or an
alternative title, should be indexed as a phrase.
