Specifying Leader, 006, 007, and 008 Field Search Criteria for MARC21 Bibliographic Records

To specify a MARC21 bibliographic record leader or 006, 007, or 008 subfield as a search criterion:

  1. Select Bibliographic from the Store Record Type drop-down list.
  2. Select Bibliographic as the record Type to search.
  3. Double click the Field cell and select a field from the MARC21 Leader, MARC21 006, MARC21 007, or MARC21 008 tabs

or

Select the Field cell, enter the '@' character, and then select a field from the drop-down menu. Subfield mappings to '@' numbers appear in the tables on this page.

The @ Num values in these tables reflect the field mappings current at the time of publication. These numbers might not be an exact match on all systems. You can use the up and down arrow navigation keys to view nearby fields.

The MARC21 Bibliographic 006 Field

A bibliographic record leader's Rec Type subfield (char pos 6) specifies the type of material cataloged in the record as shown below:

Code Rec Type
a Language material
c Notated music
d Manuscript notated music
e Cartographic material
f Manuscript cartographic material
g Projected medium
i Nonmusical sound recording
j Musical sound recording
k Two-dimensional nonprojectable graphic
m Computer file/Electronic resource
o Kit
p Mixed material
r Three-dimensional artifact or naturally occurring object
s Serial/Integrating resource
t Manuscript language material

Within the 006 field, character positions 00 through 17 have different meanings, depending on the record type. Note, however, that many '@' numbers map to the same character position within the range 00 through 17. For example, BOOKS, E RESOURCES, MAPS, SERIALS, and VISUAL MAT all define position 11 as Govt Pub. MUSIC defines this same character position as Acc Mat5. This means that some fields can be specified with any of these equivalent '@' numbers with identical results. For example, the following three search criteria produce the same results:

    BIBLIOGRAPHIC  REC TYPE  equal to  "m"
AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC  Govt Pub (@ 70)  not equal to  "a"

    BIBLIOGRAPHIC  REC TYPE  equal to  "m"
AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC  Govt Pub (@ 82)  not equal to  "a"

    BIBLIOGRAPHIC  REC TYPE  equal to  "m"
AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC  Acc Mat5 (@ 114)  not equal to  "a"

c Notated music
d Manuscript notated music
e Cartographic material
f Manuscript cartographic material
g Projected medium
i Nonmusical sound recording
j Musical sound recording

The only exception is character position 06, which is defined as @ 261 through @ 265, depending on the REC Type code. Character positions 18 through 34 have different meanings, depending on the record type.

Notes on Music

Some of the Character Positions in the 008 field are multiply defined, dependent on the record types:

Char Pos @ Num Choices

18-19

@ 312 for record types c, d, and j
@ 313 for record type i

20

@ 314 for record types c and d
@ 315 for record types i and j

23

@ 318 for record types c and d
@ 319 for record types i and j

30-31

@ 326 to interpret both bytes as field Lit Text for record types c and d
@ 329 to interpret both bytes as field Lit Text for record type j
@ 327 to interpret the byte at character position 30 as field LitText1 for record type i
@ 328 to interpret the byte at character position 31 as field LitText2 for record type i

Bib levels 'b' and 's' do not apply to Rec Type 'd'.

Leader Bytes and the 008 Field

For those libraries that append leader byte information to the 008 field during download, the following table details the mapping of leader bytes to fields:

Leader Byte Field Displayed in Byte

6 REC TYPE 41
7 BIB LEVL 42
