MARC Code List: PART VII: Other Sources
Introduction
Part VIII part contains various lists of assigned codes to be used either for
identifying sources of data in a MARC field or to characterize the data
in a MARC field. The codes are recorded in subfield $2 of the MARC
variable field to which they apply. The code lists grouped here
do not fit into any of the existing groupings of codes in Parts I-VI.
Arrangement of the List
The lists of codes are grouped according to the numeric
MARC 21 field in which they can be used. Entries in each list are arranged
in alphabetical order by code and consist of the code followed by a
citation for the source and/or information defining the code.
Code Structure
Codes assigned to sources are usually derived from a title.
Each code consists of a maximum of eight lowercase characters.
When the code is not for a source (e.g., access method), it is
based on the descriptive name or caption associated with it
(e.g., "http" is based on the name of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol).
The code may be followed by the edition, language, or date of
publication of the source work. The code is separated from the addition
by a slash (/). Instead of the full name of a language, the 3-character
MARC language code should be used when qualification by language
is needed. Omission of the edition, language, or year of publication
implies that the assigning institution used the most recent edition
of the source in its original language (usually the language
of the title itself). Example:
- hlasja/1997
- HLAS journal abbreviations, in
Handbook of Latin American studies, 1997 edition.
