  11. Components of MARC • Leader • First 24 characters of a record (00-23) • Each position has meaning, but most is for computer use • MARC record creation and editing programs assists cataloger with input • Directory • Found immediately after the leader (in MARC communications format) • What tags are in the format and where they are placed

  12. Control Fields (00X’s) • 001 – Control number • Assigned by org. creating, using or distributing record / For interchange purposes • 003 – Control number identifier • MARC code for org. that created 001 • 005 – Date and time of latest transaction • Of latest record transaction • 008 – Fixed-length data elements • Useful for retrieval and data management

  13. Variable Field Contents… • 0xx - Control information, numbers, codes • 1xx - Main Entry • 2xx - Titles, edition, imprint, etc • 3xx - Physical description • 4xx - Series statements • 5xx - Notes • 6xx - Subject added entries • 7xx - Other added entries • 8xx - Series added entries • 9xx - Locally defined entries

  14. Parallel Field Contents • For 1XX, 4XX, 6XX, 7XX and 8XX fields • X00 – Personal names • X10 – Corporate names • X11 – Meeting names • X30 – Uniform titles • X50 – Topical terms • X51 – Geographic terms

  15. Subfields and Delimiters • Valid Subfields vary from field to field • Subfield codes – one lower case letter preceded by a delimiter • Independently interpreted w/in fields • For 650 field • |a Topical term • |x General subdivision • |y Chronological subdivision • |z Geographic subdivision • |v Form subdivision • i.e. (300 ## $a 675 p. : $b ill.; $c 24 cm) • a= extent • b= other physical details • c= dimensions
