MARC ǂ3 Materials specified: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:19, 10 April 2015

MARC subfield 3 in the authority, bibliographic, and holdings formats contains the part of the described materials to which the field applies when the content of the field does not apply to the whole resource. It is authorized for many MARC fields, and is not repeatable.

Policy and formulation

Subfield 3 is always the first subfield
Record "copy" or "v." in lower case; other descriptions in upper case
Use only enough information to identify the copy or volume
If the information refers to more than one copy, repeat the field
If the information refers to more than one volume of a single copy, combine volume numbers in a single ǂ3 tentative
If the information refers to different types of material cataloged together, repeat the field using appropriate description in ǂ3

Examples

Add example of copies with different call numbers

Add example of multiple volume numbers

Two copies of a psalter, both embroidered and both restricted

506 1_ ǂ3 copy 1 ǂa RESTRICTED. Original available by special permission only. ǂ5 DFo
506 1_ ǂ3 copy 2 ǂa RESTRICTED. Original available by special permission only. ǂ5 DFo
655 _7 ǂ3 copy 1 ǂa Embroidered bindings (Binding) ǂ2 rbbin ǂ5 DFo
655 _7 ǂ3 copy 2 ǂa Embroidered bindings (Binding) ǂ2 rbbin ǂ5 DFo

The corresponding 506 fields copied into the holdings records do not have ǂ3

A manuscript record covering five items, important enough for each to receive additional individual description.
