Punctuation in X00 Fields (X00 Personal Names - General Information - Input Conventions)

The 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.

Fields 100 , 600 , 700 , and 800 end with a mark of punctuation or a closing parenthesis. If the final subfields are subfield $2, $3, $4, or $5, the mark of punctuation or closing parenthesis precedes those subfields.

Examples:

600 10$aCapote, Truman,$d1924-$xCriticism and interpretation.

700 1#$aEllington, Duke,$d1899-1974.$tSelections;$oarr.$f1986.

700 0#$aThomas$c(Anglo-Norman poet).$tRoman de Tristan.$lEnglish.

100 1#$aGrozelier, Leopold.$4art

Field 400 does not end with a mark of punctuation, unless the last word is an abbreviation, an initial/letter, or data that ends with a mark of punctuation.

The name portion of a name/title heading ends with a mark of punctuation. The mark of punctuation is placed inside a closing quotation mark.

A name or title portion followed by a subject subdivision does not end with a mark of punctuation unless the name or title portion ends with an abbreviation, initial/letter, or open date.
