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.
