Headings- -General Information (Variable Data Fields)
All headings used, regardless of tag , must be searched in the online authority file for the AACR2 or AACR2-compatible form of heading. According to CONSER practice, when an established heading is not found, the AACR2 form must be supplied.
Usage:
NAME HEADINGS may be used in catalog records as:
Main entries 1XX (100 - 111)
Subject added entries 6XX (600 - 611)
Name added entries 7XX (700 - 711)
Series added entries 8XX (800 - 811)
Fields 6XX, 7XX, and 8XX are repeatable; 1XX fields are not repeatable.
Procedures described here are applicable to all the above functions of name headings. Specific procedures unique to individual fields are given with the instructions for that field, or in the general instructions for the particular category of headings.
There are three categories of NAME headings. These categories remain the same regardless of the function. The second and third characters of the numeric tag define the category. The three categories are:
Personal name
(X00)
Corporate name
(X10)
Conference name
(X11)
Thus, a corporate body used as a main entry will be tagged 110 ; as a subject added entry, 610 ; as a added entry, 710 ; and as a series added entry, 810 .
UNIFORM TITLE headings may be used in catalog records as:
Main entries 130
Subject added entries 630
Title added entries 730
Series added entries 830
Fields 630, 730, and 830 are repeatable; field 130 is not repeatable.
