06 - Type of date/Publication status One-character alphabetic code that indicates that categorizes the type of dates
given in 008/07-10 (Date 1) and 008/11-14 (Date 2). For continuing resources, the
code in 008/06 also indicates the publication status.
The choice of code for 008/06 is made concurrently with a determination of the
appropriate dates for 008/07-14. For most records data is derived from information
in field 260 (Publication, Distribution, etc. (Imprint)), field 362 (Dates of
Publication and/or Sequential Designation), or from note fields.
b - No dates given; B.C. date involvedEach character position in fields 008/07-10 and 008/11-14 contains a blank.
c - Continuing resource currently published008/07-10 contain the beginning date of publication; 008/11-14 contain the
characters 9999.
d - Continuing resource ceased publication008/07-10 contain the beginning date of publication; 008/11-14 contain the date
the item ceased to be published.
e - Detailed date008/07-10 contain the year and 008/11-14 contain the month and day formatted
mmdd.
i - Inclusive dates of collection
k - Range of years of bulk of collection
m - Multiple dates008/07-10 usually contain the initial (or beginning) date and 008/11-14 the
terminal (or ending) date.
n - Dates unknownDates appropriate for 008/07-10 and 008/11-14 are unknown, (e.g., when no dates
are given in field 260).
p - Date of distribution/release/issue and production/recording session when
different
q - Questionable dateEarliest possible date is given in 008/07-10; latest possible date in
008/11-14.
r - Reprint/reissue date and original date008/07-10 contain the date of reproduction or reissue; 008/11-14 contain the
date of the original, if known. 008/11-14 contain code u ("uuuu"), if

t - Publication date and copyright date
u - Continuing resource status unknown008/07-10 contain a beginning date of publication; 008/11-14 contain the

07-10 - Date 1 Determination of dates for 008/07-10 is made concurrently with the choice of code
for 008/06. See the section above on 008/06 for examples and input conventions
related to coded date information. The use of fill characters in 008/07-10,
although possible, is discouraged since the data in Date 1 is used for retrieval
and duplicate detection in many systems. When fill is used in 008/07-10, all four
positions must contain the fill character.
1-9 - Date digit
# - Date element is not applicable
u - Date element is totally or partially unknown
|||| - No attempt to code
11-14 - Date 2 Determination of dates for 008/11-14 is made concurrently with the choice of code
for 008/06. See the section above on 008/06 for examples and input conventions
related to coded date information. Four fill characters (||||) are used when no
attempt has been made to code these character positions.
1-9 - Date digit
# - Date element is not applicable
u - Date element is totally or partially unknown
|||| - No attempt to code
15-17 - Place of publication, production, or execution Two- or three-character alphabetic code that indicates the place of publication,
production, or execution. Place code is an authoritative-agency data element. Code
from:
MARC Code List for Countries. Choice of a MARC code is generally related to information in field 260
(Publication, Distribution, etc. (Imprint)). The code recorded in 008/15-17 is
used in conjunction with field 044 (Country of Producer Code) when more than one
code is appropriate to an item. The first code in subfield $a of field
044 is recorded in 008/15-17. Three fill characters (|||) may be used in place of
a valid code, but their use in 008/15-17 is discouraged. The data in this field
008 data element is used for retrieval and duplicate detection in many systems.
When fill is used in 008/15-17, all three positions must contain the fill
character.
38 - Modified record One-character code that indicates whether any data in a bibliographic record is a
modification of information that appeared on the item being cataloged or that was
intended to be included in the MARC record.
Codes are assigned a priority (recorded in the order of the following list) that
determines which code is input when more than one code applies to the item.
# - Not modified
d - Dashed-on information omitted
o - Completely romanized/printed cards romanized
r - Completely romanized/printed cards in script
s - ShortenedSome of the data was omitted because the data exceeded the maximum length
allowed by the system used to create or process it.
x - Missing charactersRecord contained characters that could not be converted to machine-readable
form (e.g., incidental nonroman characters on predominantly roman alphabet
records, mathematical symbols, etc.).
| - No attempt to code
39 - Cataloging source One-character code that indicates the original cataloging source of the record. If
the cataloging source is known, it is identified in subfield $a of
field 040 (Cataloging Source).
# - National bibliographic agency
c - Cooperative cataloging programCreator of the cataloging data is a participant (other than a national
bibliographic agency) in a cooperative cataloging program.
d - Other
u - Unknown
| - No attempt to code
