880 - ALTERNATE GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION (R)

The fully content-designated, alternate graphic representation of another field in the same record. Field 880 is linked to the associated regular field by subfield $6 (Linkage). A subfield $6 in the associated field links that field to the 880 field. When an associated field does not exist in the record, field 880 is constructed as if it did and a reserved occurrence number (00) is used to indicate the special situation. The data in field 880 may be in more than one script.
