GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

INDICATORS

First Indicator - Start/End designator
Whether the data in the field is the starting information for a sequence or the ending information. A start/end pair is linked via subfield $8.
If the first indicator is value 1, the second indicator will always be set to 0.
# - No information provided
0 - Starting information
1 - Ending information
Second Indicator - State of issuance
Whether the sequence of the publication is still being issued or is complete.
If the second indicator is value 0 in a starting field, and there is no ending field, the field specifies a single issue. If the second indicator value is 1 in a starting field there will be no ending field and the span is open. If the second indicator is value 0 in a starting field, and there is an ending field, the field specifies the beginning of a closed span.
# - Not specified
0 - Closed
The sequence of the publication has terminated and is no longer being issued.
1 - Open
The sequence of the publication continues to be issued.
