the code is recorded for the primary target
audience. If the record has both reading grade
level and interest age or interest grade level
information present in the 521 (Target Audience

s - Electronic Intended for manipulation by a computer. The
item may reside in a carrier accessed either
directly or remotely, in some cases requiring
the use of peripheral devices attached to the
computer (e.g., a CD-ROM player). This code is
not used for items that do not require the use
of a computer (e.g., music compact discs,
videodiscs).
| - No attempt to code Use of this code is discouraged since form of
item information is often used in retrieval
and duplicate detection.
24-27 - Nature of contents (006/07-10) Up to four one-character codes (recorded in
alphabetical order) that indicate whether a
significant part of the item is or contains
certain types of material. If fewer than four
codes are assigned, the codes are left justified
and unused positions contain blanks (#).
Information for these character positions is
usually derived from other areas of the
bibliographic record (e.g., field 245 (Title
Statement), 5XX (Note) fields, or 6XX (Subject
Added Entry) fields). Up to four codes may be
recorded, in alphabetical order. If more than
four codes are appropriate to an item, the four
most significant are selected.

primarily through a set of images (often in
the form of multiple "panels" per page)
presented concurrently but meant to be "read"
sequentially by the viewer. The accompanying
narrative and/or dialog text, when it occurs,
works integrally with the images to tell the
story.
| - No attempt to code
28 - Government publication (006/11) One-character code that indicates whether or
not the item is published or produced by or for
an international, national, state, provincial,
or local government agency, or by any
subdivision of such a body.
Also describes the jurisdictional level of the
government agency associated with the item. A
government body and all its subdivisions are
treated as government bodies regardless of how
they may be entered as headings (i.e., entered
under jurisdiction or not). In the bibliographic
record, the body does not have to be a main or
added entry, but it should be named as
publisher, etc. in the publication,
distribution, etc. area, or have caused the item
to be published (usually inferred when the
governmental body is responsible for the content
of the work). When in doubt, treat the item as a
government publication.
Guidelines for certain types of
publications
- Socialist countries- Since
the coding of all items published in socialist
countries as government publications would
limit the usefulness of this element, coding
should be used only for the same type of
bodies that would be considered government in
a non-socialist country. In coding items in
this manner, when in doubt, treat the item as
a government publication.
- Two levels- If an item is
published or produced jointly by government
agencies at two different levels, record the
code for the higher government level.
- Academic publications- In the
U.S., items published by academic institutions
are considered government publications if the
institutions are created or controlled by a
government.
- University presses- In the
U.S., items published by university presses
are considered government publications if the
presses are created or controlled by a
government (e.g., state university presses in
the United States).
# - Not a government publication Not published by or for a government
body.

Defined as a complimentary or memorial
publication usually in the form of a collection
of essays, addresses, or biographical,
bibliographic, scientific, or other
contributions. It often embodies the results of
research, issued in honor of a person, an
institution, or a society, as a rule, on the
occasion of an anniversary celebration. A true
festschrift generally mentions the person,
institution, or society it commemorates on the
chief source of information (i.e., title page).
The title of the work may or may not use the
word festschrift. Other indications
that an item is a festschrift include phrases
such as: papers in honor of, in
memory of, commemorating, and
their equivalents in foreign languages.
