A vintage Christmas card.
Okay on to business. In a previous post, I defined a MARC. Also, I've listed some of our sources for MARCs. I want to show you an example.
MARC records are composed of different fields. Each field has a tag number. Here are some of the more important fields:
020 field - this field contains the ISBN.
245 field - this field contains the main title.
300 field - this field contains physical descriptions, such as the paging or measurements.
504 field - mentions the presence of a bibliography.
650 field - this field contains the subject.
Each title in our collection has a MARC record. Every MARC has the same basic construction. The information found in the different fields varies depending on what item you are dealing with.
I think that's enough for one day. Now for a link.
