880 - Alternate Graphic Representation (R)

This is an ARCHIVED VERSION of the 2008 electronic edition of the MARC 21 Concise Formats. Please see loc.gov/marc/concise/ for the most up-to-date version of the electronic MARC 21 Concise Formats.

Fully content-designated representation, in a different script, of another field in the same record. Field 880 and the associated roman field both contain a subfield $6 (Linkage). The subfield codes in field 880 are the same as those defined in the associated field except for subfield $6. The data in field 880 may be in more than one script.

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.
