It can also contain a term of availability for the resource and a qualifier for the ISBN. Since ISBNs are assigned by publishers and are supposed to uniquely identify one edition of a work from one specific publisher, they are often used to try to detect duplicate MARC records during 'machine matching'. 4 Many library automation systems rely on the ISBN instead of, or as well as, the LCCN for machine matching. If the same ISBN is in two records that are loaded to a database, and the system is set up to match on ISBN, then the system will see that the records have the same ISBN and will treat them as duplicates: 020 $a $arylant, Cynthia $ahenry and Mudge and the wild wind :$bthe twelfth book of their adventures /$cstory by Cynthia Rylant. 260 $anew York :$bbradbury Press ;$atoronto :$bmaxwell Macmillan Canada ; $anew York :$bmaxwell Macmillan International,$cc $a40 p. :$bcol. ill. ;$c22 cm. 852 $p $a $arylant, Cynthia $ahenry and Mudge and the wild wind :$bthe twelfth book of their adventures /$cstory by Cynthia Rylant. 260 $anew York :$bbradbury Press ;$atoronto :$bmaxwell Macmillan Canada ; $anew York :$bmaxwell Macmillan International,$cc $a40 p. :$bcol. ill. ;$c22 cm. 852 $p The above records are duplicates. If these records are loaded to the same database, they should match on their 020 and merge to make one record, retaining the barcode numbers (given here 852$p) for each copy: 020 $a $arylant, Cynthia $ahenry and Mudge and the wild wind :$bthe twelfth book of their adventures /$cstory by Cynthia Rylant. 260 $anew York :$bbradbury Press ;$atoronto :$bmaxwell Macmillan Canada ; $anew York :$bmaxwell Macmillan International,$cc $a40 p. :$bcol. ill. ;$c22 cm. 852 $p $p Machine matching occurs when a MARC record is loaded to a database and the library automation system tries to determine whether the incoming record is the same as a record that may already be in the database. Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (8/30/2004)

8 020 International Standard Book Number In order for a library automation system to determine that two ISBNs match, both ISBNs must be provided in the same format; this is called 'normalization'. The 'normalized' structure for an ISBN is: a ten-digit number with no spaces or hyphens between the numbers if the number ends in a lower case 'x', enter it in upper case (X) The ISBN on a resource may look like this: or Whatever utility/software you are using, you should enter ISBNs in this normalized format: If a number claims to be an ISBN but is not 10 digits, enter it as an invalid ISBN; see 020$z for further details. Because ISBNs are used for matching duplicate records, it is also very important that the same ISBN should never be found in two records that are different. If an ISBN appears, or could appear, in multiple, different records, then the only safe way to prevent them from ever being merged during machine matching is to put the ISBNs in subfield $z in all of the records. See 020$z for further details. L L 12.8B SE If a search on an ISBN from a resource retrieves a record that does not match the resource, then enter that ISBN in subfield $z in the record for the resource. See the LCRI for details about the history of ISBNs and how they should be entered. Also see this LCRI for a new explanation of how LC is going to handle 13-digit ISBNs from Oct 1, 2004-Jan 1, Unfortunately these procedures are not finalized, however. Until further notice, therefore, catalogers would be advised to accept the new ISBNs as input in LC records, but continue to input the 13- digit ISBNs as EANs in 024. If an issue or part of a serial has an ISBN, do not add that ISBN to the serial record. 020 $a International Standard Book Number Rule A 1.8B Source of information (1.8A2) Any source Preceding punctuation None Input standards LC: Full Required if applicable Input standards OCLC: Full/Min Required if applicable / Required if applicable Repeatable No [used to be, but not now] A 1.8B1 020$a contains a properly normalized, valid ISBN: 020 $a Give the ISBN for the resource being described Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (8/30/2004)

9 International Standard Book Number 020 A 1.8B2 L 1.8B If more than one ISBN is present, give the one that applies to your resource. Optional: add the other ISBN [in separate 020] with qualifications as per 1.8E: 020 $a (cased) 020 $a (pbk.) "Transcribe first the number that is applicable to the item being described; transcribe other numbers in the order presented." May '95 A single record can contain multiple valid ISBNs ($a). If you are copying a record, you do not have to change the order of the ISBNs to make your number first (unless your local library automation system specifically instructs you to do so). LC says that it adds all ISBNs that are present on a resource to the record for that resource. However, you need to be very careful when you are doing this. Remember that some library automation systems use ISBNs for machine matching, and so you must not give the same ISBN in subfield $a in more than one, different, record. For example, if you have a book which has a library binding and it has the following ISBNs, you could enter all of them quite safely in separate 020$a because they can all share the same record: 020 $a (library binding) 020 $a (trade ed.) 020 $a (pbk.) However, if you have a regular print book which also carries an ISBN for a large print version, then the ISBN for the large print version really belongs in a separate record (that should be made for the large print version): (trade ed.) (lg. print) You can add the large print ISBN to your regular print record, but if you do, you must add it as 'inappropriately assigned' using subfield $z (see 020$z following): 020 $a (trade ed.) 020 $z (lg. print) You must enter the large print ISBN as $z in the regular print record because you cannot have the same ISBN (for the large print) in subfield $a in two completely different records (the record for the regular print and the record for the large print). If you ever do that and then load both records to the same database, they will machine match on the ISBN and merge, and one of the different records will be lost. This applies to ISBNs for all types of resources. For example, if you have a sound cassette that carries an ISBN for the sound cassette version and another ISBN for a sound disc version, then the ISBN for the sound disc version really belongs in a separate record. You can add the sound disc ISBN to your sound cassette record, but if you do, you must enter it in subfield $z see 020$z below). Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (8/30/2004)

10 020 International Standard Book Number A 1.8B3 A 1.8B4 A 1.8E1 Make a note of other numbers (1.7B19). If you know the ISBN is incorrect and know the correct number, give it and add '(corrected)': 020 $a (corrected) You could also add the incorrect number in subfield $z in another 020, just to show that you know about that number and know that it is incorrect. Add a brief qualification to multiple ISBNs: 020 $a (U.S.) 020 $a (Germany) 2003 Add a qualification to a single ISBN if desired: 020 $a (pbk.) Watch out for qualifiers that indicate different types of formats for which you need to make different records, such as large print and regular print versions of a work. In the example below, the ISBN for the large print really belongs in a separate record. Since A1.8B2 says we can add all ISBNs found on a resource, you could include the large print ISBN with the other two ISBNs in the record that describes the regular print expressions, but must enter it in subfield $z: 020 $a (pbk.) 020 $a (hardcover) 020 $z (large print pbk.) However, if you want include the regular print ISBNs in a record that describes the large print expression, then enter them in subfield $z: 020 $a (large print pbk.) 020 $z (pbk.) 020 $z (hardcover) 020 :$c Terms of availability Rule A 1.8D Source of information (1.8A2) Any source Preceding punctuation Space colon (#:$c) Input standards LC: Full Required if applicable Input standards OCLC: Full/Min Optional / Optional Repeatable No Related fields 037$c A 1.8D1 020$c contains the terms of availability of a resource (e.g., price).

11 Main entries 110 Corporate name main entry are given in a consistent, 'established' format. A 23 If you cannot find a name in an authority file, then you will have to follow the rules below to establish the name yourself. PLACE NAME HEADINGS Geographic names (referred to in this section as 'Place names') are coded as corporate names (X10) when they are headings. Place names are used as the entry element for the name of a government or other jurisdiction. A place name can also be used as an addition to a corporate name to distinguish it from a similar name, or as an addition to a meeting name. The rules below apply in all of these cases. They also apply when you are qualifying a place name for a publisher (260$a). L 23.1 A A 23.2 L 23.2 A 23.3 See the LCRI for a list of ambiguous entities that are treated as geographic names. CHOICE OF PLACE NAME As with personal names, our first step in establishing a heading for a place name is to choose which name we will use for the place, especially if it has more than one name. English form available, e.g., Sverige: use the English form (found in gazetteers, etc.) if there is one in general use for a place that has different forms of names: $asweden. English form not available, or if in doubt, e.g., Rio de Janeiro: use the vernacular form (the name used in the official language of the place itself), if there is no commonly used English form: $ario de Janeiro. see the rule if the country has more than one official language Change of name, e.g., Rhodesia vs. Zimbabwe: follow the rules for corporate bodies (A24) and establish the new name for the place based on what is found on the resource being cataloged: $arhodesia. $azimbabwe. [for changes to place names used as subject headings, however, use the latest name, but see H708 and H710 in the Subject Cataloging Manual for much more on this topic] FORM OF PLACE NAME As with personal names, our next step in establishing a name for a place is to decide how to enter the name we have chosen to use for the place. See LCRI 23.2 for a list of gazetteers that should be used to decide on the form of name for a place. Once we know how to enter the name we have chosen to use for a place, we still have to check the rules to see if there is something that we should add to that name. The rules say nothing about omitting anything from a place name. Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (8/30/2004)

Places in Australia, Canada, Malaysia, United States, U.S.S.R., or Yugoslavia Not states, etc., e.g., Melbourne in Florida; Melbourne in South Australia: if a place is within a state or province, etc., add the name of the state or province in which the place is found; [abbreviated as per AACR Appendix B.14]: $amelbourne (Fla.) $amelbourne (S. Aust.) Places in the British Isles, i.e., England, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands: if a place is one of the discrete parts of the British Isles, do not add anything to its name: $aengland. $ascotland. if a place is within one of the discrete parts, add the name of the part: $amelrose (Scotland) Other places, e.g., Jamaica or Kingston in Jamaica: if a place is a country that is not one of those listed above, use the name of the country as the place name: $ajamaica. if a place is in a country that is not one of those listed above, add the name of the country in which the place is found: $akingston (Jamaica) for Jerusalem, use: $ajerusalem. Further additions: if two or more places, within the same country, state, or province, etc., have the same name, add a name of a smaller place to distinguish between them: $abasildon (Essex, England) $abasildon (Berkshire, England) see the rule and LCRIs for details on adding words or phrases instead see the rule and LCRIs for details about adding an even smaller identifying place instead Place names including or requiring a term indicating a type of jurisdiction, e.g., County Kerry: see the rule Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (8/30/2004)

13 Main entries 111 Meeting name main entry All meeting name headings should be under authority control. This means that they should be verified against an authority file (such as the LC authority file or a local authority file) to ensure that the headings are given in a consistent, 'established' format. If you cannot find a name in an authority file, then you will have to follow the rules below to establish the name yourself.

MEETING NAME HEADINGS Meeting names are considered corporate names by AACR. CHOICE OF MEETING NAME As with other corporate names, our first step in establishing a heading for a meeting name is to choose which name we will use for the meeting, especially if it has more than one name. See the same rules as for Choice of Name for corporate bodies given under 110 above (A ). FORM OF MEETING NAME As with other corporate names, meeting names are entered in direct order (A24.1), but we still have to decide what we should omit from or add to a meeting name. Omissions, e.g., The Second Annual Conference on AI, Simulation and Planning in High Autonomy Systems, April 1-2, 1991, Cocoa Beach, Florida: omit from the name of a meeting things that change from meeting to meeting; therefore omit numbers, frequency, and years from the meeting name in subfield $a: $aconference on AI, Simulation and Planning in High Autonomy Systems$n(2nd :$d1991 :$ccocoa Beach, Fla.) Omissions Initial articles: omit initial articles (e.g., The British Library) unless the name is to file under the initial article (e.g., Los Angeles): Additions Add certain information that distinguishes one particular meeting from another in a series of meetings. If available, add a number, a year, and the place in which a meeting was held, in that order. Enter these elements in parentheses after the name of the meeting, separated by colons. Name authority records for conference headings do not include the number, date, or place if the conference is an ongoing one. See the LCRI for further details on conflicts, the use of dates and locations, and a work containing the proceedings of two or more meetings. Additions Number, e.g., Second Annual Financial Services Institute: add the ordinal number (1st, 2nd, etc.) in English for a meeting if it is stated or inferred: $afinancial Services Institute$n(2nd :$d1984 :$cnew York, N.Y.)

The indicators in this field are very important, because the 246 doubles as both a note and an access point (added title added entry). We used to use 740 for added title added entries, but have switched to using 246 instead. We now only use 740 for related and analytical title added entries that are not under authority control (see 740). When we were using the 740 for all added title added entries, we had to also enter a 500 note to explain where we got that 740 from: $atimmy tiger's new day in the forest 500 $acover title: New day in the forest $anew day in the forest. OPAC display: Title: Note: Add. title: Timmy tiger's new day in the forest Cover title: New day in the forest.

22 246 Varying form of title having to enter a separate one: $atimmy tiger's new day in the forest $anew day in the forest OPAC display: Title: Timmy tiger's new day in the forest Cover title: New day in the forest Indicator 1 values specify whether the 246 title is shown in an OPAC record display, and whether it is indexed (searchable). Indicator 2 values determine whether a special explanatory label is displayed with the variant title. Indicator 1 = '0' tells the library automation system to display the 246 but not make it searchable. This is useful when we are simply adding descriptive information and do not need an additional heading for that information: $isubtitle on t.p. verso:$avoyage in images The verso subtitle in this example is informative and descriptive and so we want to display it to the patrons but it is not something that someone is likely to search by, and so we do not index it. Indicator 1 = '1' tells the system to both display the 246 and make it searchable; it is commonly combined with an indicator 2 value when we need to 'explain' the source of an added title added entry: $aon mythology /$cselected and introduced by Robert A. Segal $ajung on mythology OPAC display: Title: On mythology / selected and introduced by Robert A. Segal. Spine title: Jung on mythology In the example above, we explain that "Jung" came from the spine title (see Indicator 2 = '8' below). We display this variant title because we do not want a patron to view a record and not see the search term that found that record. Indicator 1 = '2' tells the system not to show the 246 and not to make it searchable either. This seems rather pointless unless you want to keep the 246 in your record but 'turn it off'. For example, if your system has a synonym list that searches '&' and 'and' interchangeably, then the 246 below will be useless to your system, but you might want to keep it handy in case you need it in your next system: $akayaking & canoeing $akayaking and canoeing Watch out for a '2' in this indicator position. In many systems, remember that this will 'turn off' the field, rendering it useless. Indicator 1 = '3' tells the system not to show the 246 but to make it searchable. You would use this value when you do not need to explain how you came up with an added title added entry: $athe Berkeley book of modern writing $amodern writing Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (8/30/2004)
