The choice of code for 008/06 is made concurrently with a
determination of the appropriate dates for 008/07-14. For
most records data is derived from information in field 260
(Publication, Distribution, etc. (Imprint)), field 362
(Dates of Publication and/or Sequential Designation), or
from note fields.

contains a blank.
c - Continuing resource currently
published
008/07-10 contain the beginning date of publication;
008/11-14 contain the characters 9999.
d - Continuing resource ceased publication
008/07-10 contain the beginning date of publication;
008/11-14 contain the date the item ceased to be

07-10 - Date 1
Determination of dates for 008/07-10 is made concurrently
with the choice of code for 008/06. See the section above
on 008/06 for examples and input conventions related to
coded date information. The use of fill characters in
008/07-10, although possible, is discouraged since the data
in Date 1 is used for retrieval and duplicate detection in
many systems. When fill is used in 008/07-10, all four
positions must contain the fill character.
1-9 - Date digit
# - Date element is not applicable
u - Date element is totally or partially
unknown
|||| - No attempt to code
11-14 - Date 2
Determination of dates for 008/11-14 is made concurrently
with the choice of code for 008/06. See the section above
on 008/06 for examples and input conventions related to
coded date information. Four fill characters (||||) are
used when no attempt has been made to code these character
positions.
1-9 - Date digit
# - Date element is not applicable
u - Date element is totally or partially
unknown
|||| - No attempt to code
15-17 - Place of publication, production, or
execution
Two- or three-character alphabetic code that indicates the
place of publication, production, or execution. Place code
is an authoritative-agency data element. Code from:
MARC Code
List for Countries. Choice of a MARC code is
generally related to information in field 260 (Publication,
Distribution, etc. (Imprint)). The code recorded in
008/15-17 is used in conjunction with field 044 (Country of
Producer Code) when more than one code is appropriate to an
item. The first code in subfield $a of field 044 is
recorded in 008/15-17. Three fill characters (|||) may be
used in place of a valid code, but their use in 008/15-17
is discouraged. The data in this field 008 data element is
used for retrieval and duplicate detection in many systems.
When fill is used in 008/15-17, all three positions must
contain the fill character.
38 - Modified record
One-character code that indicates whether any data in a
bibliographic record is a modification of information that
appeared on the item being cataloged or that was intended
to be included in the MARC record.
Codes are assigned a priority (recorded in the order of the
following list) that determines which code is input when
more than one code applies to the item.
# - Not modified
d - Dashed-on information omitted
o - Completely romanized/printed cards
romanized
r - Completely romanized/printed cards in
script
s - Shortened
Some of the data was omitted because the data exceeded
the maximum length allowed by the system used to create
or process it.
x - Missing characters
Record contained characters that could not be converted
to machine-readable form (e.g., incidental nonroman
characters on predominantly roman alphabet records,
mathematical symbols, etc.).
| - No attempt to code
39 - Cataloging source
One-character code that indicates the original cataloging
source of the record. If the cataloging source is known, it
is identified in subfield $a of field 040 (Cataloging
Source).
# - National bibliographic agency
c - Cooperative cataloging program
Creator of the cataloging data is a participant (other
than a national bibliographic agency) in a cooperative
cataloging program.
d - Other
u - Unknown
