Appendix C - 2. MARC Format Provisions
Use the following MARC content designators, as appropriate, in CONSER/national level serial records:
2.1 Subfield $e in the 040 field: use the code "dcrb."
2.2 Subfield $5 in the 500, 700, 710, 711. 730, and 740 fields (This allows the careful identification and communication of copy specific information in MARC serial records.)
2.3 Field 510, 1st indicator values 3 and 4 (This allows the inclusion of references to published descriptions for serial records in a field specifically defined for them.)
2.4 Field 570 (This allows the inclusion of information regarding editors, compilers, illustrators, or translators of serials in a field specifically defined for them.)
2.5 Field 655 (This allows the inclusion of access terminology relating to the physical aspects of the serial.) This field is defined in the CEG Update 7.
2.7 Field 755 (this allows the inclusion of access terminology relating to the physical aspects of the serial.) This field is defined in the CEG Update 7.
2.8 Field 772 (Optionally, this field is used in a record for an individual issue of a serial to link it back to the collective record.) Instructions and an example may be found in CEG Update 7, which advises that the first indicator position be set not to print a note "Supplement to."
2.9. Subfield $e in field 700 and 710. (This allows the use of relator terms or designations of function in serial records.)
2.10. Subfield $4 in fields 700/710/711. (This allows the use of relator codes in serial records, for those libraries preferring them to the textual relator terms.)
