List of MARC fields displayed in the catalog
This table lists the MARC fields and subfields behind each of the labels displayed in Folger catalog records, with links to each relevant page of the official MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data standard. See the Expert search section of Folger catalog search tips for information on targeting one or more of these fields/subfields when searching. To find out how the Folger uses a particular MARC field, search Folgerpedia for "MARC [three digit number]" or browse articles in (note: not all MARC fields we use have Folgerpedia articles).
Important: Just because a MARC field exists doesn't mean that the field is in active or consistent use. Only MARC 245 ("Title") is technically required. To see how many Folger records use a given field, go to https://catalog.folger.edu, enter the three-digit MARC tag in the search box followed by a colon ("search within this field") and a percent sign ("wildcard" for "presence of any data"). Contact catalog@folger.edu for assistance.
