Notes on Field Contents

Indicators

Many of the related title fields have a first indicator that distinguishes significant titles. This indicator specifies whether the cataloguing agency has determined that the title should be used to create an independent title access point (or added entry). If an independent title access point should be generated from a field in the 5-- block, indicator position 1 takes the value 1. If an access point is not desirable, the value of indicator position 1 is 0. This indicator does not refer to the desirability of creating author/title access points or notes from the data in the field. Either of these two uses of the data is an option of the agency receiving the record whether the first indicator value is 0 or 1.

Subfields

For the use of subfields refer to each individual field. Note that fields 510 to 545 may use any of the subfields given at field 510.

Access points and notes:

The titles in the 5-- block are used to generate title and author/title access points in addition to the title in field 200 $a. Note that the title in the first occurrence of 200 $a can be coded as an access point through the indicator position 1 of field 200 and this form of title is thus not repeated in the 5-- block.

The contents of a related title field may be used for access points and to generate notes. For the latter use, a print constant may be generated based on the field tag.

Linking entries:

Titles in the 5-- block are not links to other records but are alternative titles associated with the item being catalogued. However, a 5-- field may be embedded in a 4-- field in addition to or instead of the title proper (200) of the bibliographic entity to which a link is being made. See EX 3 in the introduction to 4-- LINKING ENTRY BLOCK for an embedded key title.

Punctuation:

Punctuation is entered in the fields in the 5-- block according to the practice of the cataloguing agency.

Non-sorting characters:

Any nonsorting characters at the beginning of the title may be dropped as part of the creation of the exchange tape. Alternatively the Bibliographic Control Set (ISO 6630) characters 08/08 and 08/09 may be used. As pointed out in paragraph 4.6 of the preparatory material, NSB and NSE indicate the use of these characters in the examples.

Parallel variant title:

Parallel variant titles are recorded by repeating the appropriate variant title field. Subfield $z may be used in any field 510-541 to indicate the language of the title in that field.

Other variant titles:

Field 517 may be used for titles which should be entered in fields 510-516 but which because of the lack of specificity in the source format cannot be allocated to the correct field.

Items where there is more than one title proper:

Where there is more than one title proper, i.e. the document consists of several works and has no common title, subsequent dependent titles (e.g. parallel titles proper) should be entered in the 423 fields holding the 200$a to which they relate. For an example see 423 ISSUED WITH (EX 2).
