MARC Code List: PART III: Classification Sources
Introduction
Classification Sources contains a list of works that are
sources of classification schemes, along with the code assigned
to each source work. The purpose of this list is to allow the source
of the classification number or span of numbers given in MARC
records to be designated by a code.
Arrangement of the List
Entries in the following list are arranged in
alphabetical order by the code and consist of the source code
followed by the bibliographic citation for the source work or scheme.
Additional information about the source work may appear in an
italicized 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 consists of a maximum of
eight lowercase alphabetic characters. For many classification
schemes of states of the United States, the source code
consists of the U.S. Postal Service abbreviation for the state
as the first two characters, followed by other letters identifying
the specific scheme. For government document classifications
schemes "docs" follows the first two characters.
For other sources, the entire code may be based on the title
of the work or scheme.
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:
- msdocs/1975
- Mississippi state government publications,
published 1975

Situations Where Source Codes Are Used
The Canadian and United States government document classification
schemes are not assigned codes in this list. Instead, specific
indicator values have been defined for each to identify
the source of the classification number. MARC field 086 1st
indicator value "0" is used to identify the (U.S.)
Superintendent of Documents Classification System;
value "1" is used to identify the Government of Canada,
Outline of Classification.
