533 Reproduction Note

Field definition and scope:

Field 533 contains descriptive data for a reproduction of an original item when the main portion of the bibliographic record describes the original item and the data differ.

The original item is described in the main portion of the bibliographic record and data relevant to the reproduction are given as a note in field 533 when they differ from the information describing the original. It is used whenever an institution chooses to have the description reflect the original and the notes reflect information about the copy.

For mixed materials, this field contains information describing a copy of a record unit when the agency describing the materials possesses only a copy and, in accordance with conventions, the original is described in the main portion of the control record. This field is normally used in conjunction with field 535 (Location of Originals/Duplicates Note) which indicates the repository holding the original.

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

Field 533 is repeatable.

Guidelines for applying content designators:

For records formulated according to AACR cataloging rules, elements of field 533 are generally separated by ISBD punctuation (e.g., Place of publication is separated from the publisher's name by a space-colon-space ( : )).
