700 Added Entry - Personal Name

Field definition and scope:

Field 700 contains an added entry in which the entry element is a personal name. Added entries are assigned according to various cataloging rules to give access to the bibliographic record from personal name headings which may not be more appropriately assigned as 600 (Subject Added Entry - Personal Name) or 800 (Series Added Entry - Personal Name) fields.

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

Field 700 is repeatable.

Guidelines for applying content designators:

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

Personal names used in phrase subject headings (e.g., John, the Baptist, saint, in the Koran) are contained in field 650 (Subject Added Entry - Topical Term).
