510 Citation/References Note (R) (Variable Data Field)
Field 510 contains notes that give citations or references to published bibliographic descriptions or reviews of an item. It is used to specify where an item has been cited or reviewed. Citations or references may be given in a brief form (i.e., using generally recognizable abbreviations, etc.). The actual text of a published description is not recorded in field 510 but rather in field 520 (Summary, Etc.).
For books
and music, this field contains references to published
descriptions of the item (e.g., descriptions of rare materials recorded
in a brief, standardized format) or reviews (e.g., reviews in professional
literature).
For continuing
resources, this field is used to specify publications in which a continuing
resource has been indexed and/or abstracted and the dates of coverage,
if known. The indexing and abstracting services referenced are primarily
those issued as continuing resources. Certain monographic titles,
particularly those that are standard reference tools in a subject area
or that cover periods of time not included in continuing publications,
may also be given in this field.
For unpublished visual materials or graphic items collectively controlled,
this field contains references to published descriptions of the work or
collection. Citations to reviews of projected visual materials are
also recorded in this field.
For mixed materials,
this field contains references to publications in which abstracts, citations,
descriptions, or indexes of the described materials have appeared.
Note:
Field
510 is used when the indexing and/or review is external to the item represented
by the bibliographic record.
Field
555 (Cumulative Index/Finding Aids Note)
is used when the index is an integral part of the item.
When
the title of the source of the index, abstract, review, etc. changes,
a separate 510 field is used for each title.
When
coverage changes, thus requiring a different value in the first indicator,
a new 510 field with appropriate dates is added to the record.
Field
510 is repeatable for multiple source citations.
Citation/references notes are usually displayed and/or printed with an introductory term or phrase that is generated as a display constant based on the first indicator value.
The National level record requirement for this field is Optional.
Field 510 is repeatable.
