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
