Introduction
Category Code Sources contains a list of works that are sources of codes
that categorize an item described in a record, along with a code assigned
to each source. The purpose of this list is to allow
the
source of a category code given in a field of a
MARC record to be identified in that field.
Code Lists
Entries in the list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code and consist of the source
code
followed by the bibliographic citation for the source work. Additional information about the
source work may appear in an italicized note following the citation.
Source codes are limited in use to specific fields. In the following list, source codes are
grouped under the field in which the codes may be used. Source codes which may be used in
more than one field are repeated under each field in which they may be used.
Code Structure
The code assigned to the work is derived from its title and consists of a maximum of eight
lowercase alphabetic characters.
The code may be followed by the edition or date of publication of the source work. The
code
is separated from the edition or date by a slash (/). Omission of the year or edition will imply
that
the assigning institution used the most recent edition of the source work available. For
example:
- inissc/1983
- INIS: Subject categories and scope descriptions, published 1983
