Field definition and scope:

Field 748 contains a chronological term that is equivalent to the 148 chronological term or 182 chronological subdivision heading field of the same record.  It links headings within a system or from different thesauri or authority files.

The National level record requirement for this field is Optional.

Field 748 is repeatable.

Guidelines for applying content designators:

The content designators identify the subelements occurring in chronological term headings constructed according to generally accepted thesaurus-building conventions (e.g., Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST)).

Chronological terms include dates that are used as the lead element of subject or added entry access fields in bibliographic records.

A chronological term that is authorized for use only as a subject subdivision part of an extended subject heading is contained in a 182 (Chronological Subdivision) field.
