MARC Code List: PART VI: Description Conventions
Introduction
Description Conventions contains a list of codes
assigned to sources of conventions (that is, rules, manuals,
guidelines, policies, etc.) used in the description of bibliographic
items. The codes in this list are used to identify the description
conventions applied in a MARC record as a whole, or to specific MARC
elements (e.g., particular fields). The codes assigned cover
national and specialized description conventions, such as AACR2-based
manuals for special forms of materials.
Arrangement of the List
Entries in the following list are arranged in alphabetical
order by the code and consist of the code followed by the
bibliographic citation for the work.
Code Structure
The code assigned to the work is derived from its title
and consists of a maximum of eight lowercase 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:
- appm/1983
- Hensen, Steven L.
Archives, personal papers, and manuscripts.
