843 Reproduction Note

Field definition and scope:

Field 843 contains information that describes an item that is a reproduction of original materials. It is used when an institution chooses to have the main portion of the bibliographic record description reflect the original and the notes in field 843 reflect information about the copy.

This field is identical to field 533 (Reproduction Note) defined in the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data.

Field 843 is repeatable.

Guidelines for applying content designators:

For records formulated according to AACR cataloging rules, elements of field 843 are generally separated by ISBD punctuation (e.g., Place of publication is separated from the publisher's name by a space-colon-space ( : )).
