Notes

  • Information to fill out a bibliographic record can be taken from the entire resource.  Use square brackets only for information taken from outside the resource.  **This is a change from AACR2 (former cataloging code)
  • Each subfield must be bracketed separately.
  • Transcription plays a much larger role.
  • In general, abbreviations are spelled out except for units of measurement and units of time.
  • Subfield a (|a) is assumed in Sierra and therefore not shown
  • Click on Tools/MARC tag info when editing a bibliographic record in Sierra for more information on MARC tags, indicators, and subfields.
  • Starred (*) fields are considered core elements (must be included if applicable).  Records brought in through Z39.50 must include these core elements.

Punctuation                       

  • Most fields end with a period or other mark of punctuation
  • Always end with a period (regardless of other marks of punctuation)
