Field definition and scope:

Field 511 contains a tracing for a meeting name see also from reference.  It is used in an established heading record or an established heading and subdivision record to trace a see also from reference from an established meeting name to a related established heading.

The National level record requirement for this field is Mandatory if applicable.

Field 511 is repeatable.

Guidelines for applying content designators:

The content designators identify the subelements occurring in meeting name headings constructed according to the generally accepted cataloging and thesaurus-building rules [e.g., Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR 2), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)].

A named meeting that is entered under a corporate name is contained in the X10 fields.  Corporate names that include such words as conference or congress are also contained in the X10 fields.  For example, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, a professional group, is a corporate name.
