MARC Code List: PART II: Category Code Sources
Introduction
Category Code Sources contains a list of works that
are sources of codes that categorize an item described in a
record, along with a code assigned to each source.
The purpose of this list is to allow the source of a
category code given in a field of a MARC record to
be identified in that field.
Code Lists
Entries in the list are arranged in alphabetical order
by code and consist of the source code followed by the
bibliographic citation for the source work. Additional
information about the source work may appear in a note following
the citation.
Source codes are limited in use to specific fields. In the
following list, source codes are grouped under the field
in which the codes may be used. Source codes which may be used in
more than one field are repeated under each field in which they
may be used.
Code Structure
The code assigned to the work is derived from its title
and consists of a maximum of eight lowercase alphabetic characters.
The code may be followed by the edition or date of publication
of the source work. The code is separated from the edition or date
by a slash (/). Omission of the year or edition will imply
that the assigning institution used the most recent edition of
the source work available. For example:
- inissc/1983
- INIS: Subject categories and scope descriptions,
published 1983
