Introduction
Classification Sources contains a list of works which are sources of classification schemes,
along with
the code assigned to each source work. The purpose of this list is to allow the source of the
classification
number or span of numbers given in MARC records to be designated by a code.
Arrangement of the List
Entries in the following list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code and consist of
the
source
code followed by the bibliographic citation for the source work or scheme. 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 consists of a maximum of eight lowercase alphabetic
characters. For
many classification schemes of states of the United States, the source code consists of the U.S.
Postal
Service abbreviation for the state as the first two characters, followed by other letters identifying
the
specific scheme. For government document classifications schemes "docs" follows the first two
characters.
For other sources, the entire code may be based on the title of the work or scheme.
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:
- msdocs/1975
- Mississippi state
government
publications, published 1975

Situations Where Source Codes Are Used
The Canadian and United States government document classification schemes are not
assigned codes in this list, instead, specific indicator values have been defined for each to
identify
the source of the classification number. MARC field 086 1st indicator value 0 is used to
identify the (U.S.)
Superintendent of Documents Classification
System;
value 1 is used to identify the
Government of Canada, Outline of
Classification.
