Notes on Field Contents

ISBD information:

The data in the field should be entered, as specified in ISBD, in the terms that appear on the item. When data is supplied by the cataloguer, it should be enclosed within brackets [ ]. The correspondence between this field and ISBD specification is illustrated below.

Subfield content:

Statements of responsibility are entered immediately after the edition/issue statement to which they specifically apply. If a statement of responsibility applies to the work as a whole, and not merely to one particular edition or issue, it is entered in subfields 200 $f or $g. A single statement of responsibility may contain more than one name in some cases (EX 8).

When a statement relating to an issue or reprint is present in the item and there is no edition statement present, the issue statement is entered in subfield $a (EX 4). Many cataloguing codes do not transcribe an edition statement when it refers to a first edition.

Parallel data:

Parallel data appearing on the item, i.e. data repeated in another language or script, is denoted in ISBD by the use of equals sign followed by a space '= ' at the start of any block of parallel data. In UNIMARC '= ' is included in the data wherever required by ISBD, preceding and in the same subfield as the data to which it relates (EX 9).
