Organization of this Document
The USMARC Format for Community Information consists of a Summary Statement of Content Designators followed by a detailed presentation of each content designator. Following the descriptions of the Leader and the Directory, the detailed presentations for each variable field are arranged in numerical field tag order. Note that the X - - General Information sections precede the 1XX fields.
The two appendixes to this document provide some full record examples (Appendix A) and a section for lists of format changes (Appendix B).
