863 - Enumeration and
Chronology - Basic Bibliographic Unit (R)
864 - Enumeration and
Chronology - Supplementary Material (R)
865 - Enumeration and
Chronology - Indexes (R)
Description of the holdings of a bibliographic item in the
collections of the reporting organization. The captions that
identify the enumeration and chronology levels and the codes
that define the publication pattern of the holdings are
contained in the Captions and Pattern fields (853-855) that are
linked to the 863-865 fields by a number in subfield $8 (Field
link and sequence number).
A general description of the four types of holdings data
fields and their relationship to each other is given in the
Holdings Data--General
Information section. The specific data elements that
are required for the compression or expansion of enumeration
and chronology data by computer algorithm is given in the the
Input Conventions area of the Captions and Pattern Fields--General
Information section. A description of compressibility
and expandability is given in the Holdings Data--General Information
section.
Indicators
First Indicator - Field encoding level
Level of specificity of the enumeration and chronology in
the field as reflected in ANSI Z39.44 or
ANSI/NISO Z39.7.
# - No information provided
3 - Holdings level 3 [863/864]
Summary enumeration and chronology information (that is,
only at the first level of enumeration and chronology) for
a basic bibliographic unit (field 863) or supplementary
material (field 864).
4 - Holdings level 4
Detailed enumeration and chronology information (that is,
the first and all subsequent levels of enumeration and
chronology).
5 - Holdings level 4 with piece
designation
Detailed enumeration and chronology information and an
identifying number for the physical piece in subfield $p
(Piece designation).
Second Indicator - Form of holdings
Whether the enumeration and chronology is expressed in a
compressed or uncompressed (itemized) form and whether the
863-865 field or an 866-868 Textual Holdings field should
be used for display purposes.
# - No information provided
0 - Compressed [863/864]
1 - Uncompressed
2 - Compressed, use textual display
[863/864]
Display should be generated from the 866/867 Textual
Holdings field that is linked to the 863 or 864 field by
the linking number in subfield $8 (Field link and
sequence number).
3 - Uncompressed, use textual display
Display should be generated from the 866-868 Textual
Holdings field that is linked to the 863-865 field by the
linking number in subfield $8 (Field link and sequence
number).
4 - Item(s) not published
[863/864]
Parts described in the field are unpublished.
SUBFIELD CODES
$a-$h: Enumeration: Levels of enumeration
that either appear on an item or that are used by the
reporting organization to record the receipt of an item.
These enumeration subfields are correlated with the
enumeration caption subfields $a-$h in the 853-855 Captions
and Pattern field linked to the 863-865 field, although the
same subfields need not always be present. Full correlation
of the enumeration level and the caption subfields $a-$h in
linked 853-855/863-865 fields is not required when
captions are not desired for displaying the holdings
statement. Full correlation is required when
compression or expansion of the field 863 or 864 enumeration
by computer algorithm is desired. If there is no enumeration
on the item for some level, enumeration may be invented and
enclosed in brackets ([ ]).
When alternative numbering schemes are applicable to an item,
subfields $g and $h contain the alternative enumeration. If
more than two levels of alternative enumeration are required,
an 866-868 Textual Holdings field is used.
When only chronology is used on an item (that is, the item
carries no enumeration), the chronology is contained in the
relevant enumeration subfield ($a-$h) instead of the
chronology subfields ($i-$m).
$a - First level of enumeration
$b - Second level of enumeration
$e - Fifth level of enumeration
$f - Sixth level of enumeration
$g - Alternative numbering scheme, first level of
enumeration
$h - Alternative numbering scheme, second level of
enumeration
$i-$m: Chronology: Hierarchical levels of
chronology that either appear on an item or that are used by
the reporting organization to record the receipt of an item.
These chronology subfields are correlated with subfields
$i-$m in the 853-855 Captions and Pattern field linked to the
863-865 field, although the same subfields need not always be
present. Full correlation of the chronology level and the
caption subfields $i-$m in linked 853-855/863-865 fields
is not required when captions are not desired for
displaying the holdings statement. Full correlation is
required when compression or expansion of the field 863
or 864 chronology by computer algorithm is desired. If an
applicable chronology level is lacking on the item,
chronology may be invented and enclosed in brackets ([ ]).
Months and seasons may be expressed either in natural
language or by the following codes:
|
Month |
Season |
| 01-12 - Month |
21 - Spring |
|
22 - Summer |
|
23 - Autumn |
|
24 - Winter |
Month codes of less than two digits is right justified and
the unused position contains a zero.
When an alternative chronology scheme is applicable to an
item, subfield $m contains the alternative chronology. If
more than one level of alternative chronology is required, an
866-868 Textual Holdings field is used.
When only chronology is used on an item (that is, the item
carries no enumeration), the chronology is contained in the
relevant enumeration subfield ($a-$h) instead of the
chronology subfields ($i-$m).
$i - First level of chronology
$j - Second level of chronology
$k - Third level of chronology
$l - Fourth level of chronology
$m - Alternative numbering scheme,
chronology
$n - Converted Gregorian year
Gregorian-calendar conversion of a year that is recorded in
a non-Gregorian scheme in a chronology-level subfield
($i-$m).
$o - Type of unit
Title of unit (e.g., annual buyer's guide, subject index)
in the enumeration hierarchy when it has no associated
sequence numbering. When used, subfield $o immediately
follows the enumeration subfield to which it refers. When
the title of unit applies to the bibliographic entity as a
whole, rather than to a portion of its enumeration, field
844 (Name of unit) is used.
$p - Piece designation
Identification of a piece. The designation may be an
identification number such as a bar code number or an
accession number.
The piece designation may be preceded by an uppercase B or
U to specify whether the piece is bound or unbound. When no
piece designation exists, a double slash (//) may be
recorded in subfield $p to signify that the holdings relate
to a piece.
When the piece designation applies to the entire holdings
statement, it is recorded in subfield $p (Piece
designation) of field 852 (Location). When the piece
designation applies to the enumeration and chronology
recorded in field 863-865 it is recorded there. When the
piece designation applies only at the item level, it is
recorded in subfield $p of the item information field
876-878.
$q - Piece physical condition
When the piece physical condition applies to the entire
holdings statement, it is recorded in subfield $q (Piece
physical condition) of field 852 (Location). Physical
condition information for making preservation decisions is
contained in field 583 (Action Note).
$s - Copyright article-fee code
Description of the copyright article-fee code is given in
field 018 (Copyright Article-Fee Code) of the
MARC 21 Format for
Bibliographic Data .
$t - Copy number
Single copy number or a range of numbers for copies that
have the same location and call number.
$v - Issuing date [865]
Date of issuance of an index.
$w - Break indicator
One-character code that indicates the reason for a break in
the enumeration and chronology.
g - Gap break
Part(s) are lacking in the holdings of the reporting
organization. Also used when there is doubt as to the
cause of the break or when the cause is not known.
n - Nongap break
Break is due to unpublished part(s) or a lack of
continuity in the enumeration and chronology of the
parts.
$x - Nonpublic note
$z - Public note
$8 - Field link and sequence number
