In addition, other standard numbers or codes published on an item are not accommodated in this field; they are contained in field 024 (Other Standard Identifier).

$c - Terms of availability
Usually a price (and qualifying information such as time period or market) that is related to the other information in the field. Can contain information used to specify the price, such as the terms gratis, free, or N.T. (nontrade). For reproductions, the qualifying information may indicate the form of the item from which the reprocuction will be made when it is a major determinant of the price.
For serially-issued items, the current annual subscription price is usually recorded. If the term has two or more prices covering different lengths of time, only the price applicable to a one-year subscription is included. A single issue price is recorded when it is the only price given. If each issue/volume of the serial has a separate price, the information is not recorded. (A single issue price for an annual publication is considered a one-year subscription price.) The price is qualified when 1) the price is not the one-year price; 2) the subscription to the serial in hand also includes a subscription to another publication; and 3) multiple subscription prices are recorded. Qualifying terms are enclosed in parentheses and are not separately subfield coded.
For non-serially issued items, if price information is associated with an ISBN or other standard number, then subfield $c (Terms of availability) of field 020 (International Standard Book Number) or subfield $c (Terms of availability) of field 024 (Other Standard Identifier), respectively, are preferred.

$f - Form of issue
Terms describing binding or format of the item available for order. Does not include statements of coverage or type of subscriber; such information is included as qualifiers in subfield $c. The subfield is commonly used when more than one physical form is recorded, each with a separate price.

$g - Additional format characteristics
Name of the format, the format version number, and/or format version date in which the data is available for transfer. May be repeated to record compression technique (information on algorithms or processes applied to the data set in its transfer format to reduce the size of the file); transfer size (size in megabytes of the file when transferred); and recording information (information about the options available or methods used to write the data set to the medium, the density in which the data set can be transferred, and the units of measure for the recording density).

Order of Subfields - Each subfield $f (Form of issue) precedes its corresponding price in subfield $c (Terms of availability).
Punctuation - Field 037 does not end with a period unless the last word in the field is an abbreviation, initial/letter, or other data that ends with a mark of punctuation. Subfields do not end with a mark of punctuation unless the last word in the subfield ends with one. Qualifiers to price in subfield $c are given in parentheses, even when the price is absent.
Subfield $b Considerations - Any name of a person or institution precedes the address. Standard abbreviations are customarily used wherever possible (e.g., St. for street, Bldg. for Building). When recording the abbreviation for a state, the U.S. Postal Service abbreviation is preferred, or, the appropriate AACR 2 abbreviation. When a subscription address is given on the item both in English and in the language of the country of publication, the address in the language of the country of publication is recorded.
In 1993, the scope of the field was redefined from "Stock Number" to "Source of Acquisition." Subfield $b was redefined from "Source of stock number" to "Source of stock number/acquisition" so as to include source of acquisition data previously recorded in obsolete field 265 (Source for Acquisition/Subscription Address). Also, as part of the redefinition of field 037, price and form of issue data previously recorded in obsolete field 350 (Price) is to be recorded in field 037.
