Guidelines

The agency creating a record should put its code in subfield _a.
The MARC code for the language that the record is created in should be put in subfield _b.
The agency that creates the record in machine-readable format or transcribes the record into that format should put its code in subfield _c.
Any agency changing or adding data should place its code in subfield _d.
The MARC code for the title of the descriptive cataloging rules used in creating the record is put in subfield _e.
Acquire a USMARC Organization code from the Library of Congress (such as "IMchF-DB") or use initials of the library (as "Lhs" for Lincoln High School).
