675 Fields (Additions and Changes to Authority Records)

If, in researching a heading in order to make additions or changes to an authority record, sources are searched that do not provide information about the heading, cite them in a 675 field.

This field is used to record sources in which no information about the heading was found. It is formulated in one continuous paragraph, utilizing subfield $a before each separate source after the first. Source citations are abbreviated and separated by semicolons (see section on New Authority Records -- 675 Field for examples).

If the authority record being modified already contains a 675 field, add newly searched sources(s) at the end. If it does not, formulate on listing your sources(s).

The 675 field may also be added to an existing authority record to document earlier or later names not found in the work cataloged. See the section on New Authority Records -- 675 Field for examples.
