GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
Content designators identify the subelements occurring in a title that identifies an
item or a series that is not entered under a name in a name/title heading. The title is
constructed according to generally accepted cataloging and thesaurus-building rules
(e.g., Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR 2), Library of Congress
Subject Headings (LCSH)). Uniform titles used in phrase subject headings (e.g.,
Bible and atheism) are contained in the X50 fields. A title entered under a name is
contained in subfield $t (Title of a work) in the field appropriate for the author's
name (X00, X10, X11).
Only generally-applicable content designators are described in full in this section. A
small number of content designators with field-specific instructions are described in
the Tracings and References-General Information section (for field 430 and 530)
and the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section (for field
730).
■ INDICATORS
First Indicator - Undefined Undefined and contains a blank (#).
Second Indicator - Nonfiling characters [130/430/530]
In field 130, 430, and 530, the second indicator position contains a value that
specifies the number of character positions associated with a definite or
indefinite article (e.g., Le, An) at the beginning of a uniform title heading that
are disregarded in sorting and filing processes.
0 - No nonfiling characters No initial article character positions are disregarded. Diacritical marks or
special characters at the beginning of a uniform title heading that does not
begin with an initial article are not counted as nonfiling characters.

|
|
|
|
| 130 |
#0$a"Hsüan lai hsi kan" hsi lieh |
| 130 |
#0$aElektroshlakovyi pereplav |
Initial definite or indefinite articles may also simply be deleted in the
formulation of the uniform title heading. If the initial article is retained
but is not to be disregarded in sorting and filing processes, value 0 is
used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 130 |
#0$aBastard
[Full title is Der Bastard.] |
1-9 - Number of nonfiling characters Title begins with a definite or indefinite article that is disregarded in
sorting and filing processes. Any diacritical mark, space or mark of
punctuation associated with the article and any space or mark of punctuation
preceding the first filing character after the article is included in the count
of nonfiling characters. Any diacritic, however, associated with the first
filing character is not included in the count of nonfiling characters.Because the omission of initial articles to be disregarded in sorting and
filing processes is common practice, values 1-9 are unlikely to be used in
field 130, 430, and 530.
■ SUBFIELD CODES
$a - Uniform title Parenthetical information added to make a title distinctive is not separately
subfield coded except in the case of the date of signing added to a uniform title
of a treaty (see description of subfield $d).

$m - Medium of performance for music Term(s) designating the medium of performance used in a uniform title heading. If

is recorded in subfield $a when it is not an addition to a statement of
medium. When a phrase such as “pianos (2),” “4 hands,” etc., follows a collective
uniform title for a specific medium of performance, it is included in subfield
$a.

INPUT CONVENTIONS
Ambiguous Headings - See Appendix D: Ambiguous Headings .
Punctuation - Punctuation of the subelements of a heading is generally dictated by descriptive
cataloging or subject heading system/thesaurus rules. These input conventions clarify
MARC punctuation practices. An X30 field does not end with a mark of punctuation unless
the field ends with an abbreviation, an initialism, or data that ends with a mark of
punctuation.
