INPUT CONVENTIONS

Punctuation - Field 586 does not end with a mark of punctuation, unless the field ends with an abbreviation, initial/letter, or other data that ends with a mark of punctuation.
Display Constant - Multiple 586 fields are generally printed or displayed as one note although carried in separate fields. The introductory term Awards: is not carried in the MARC record. It may be generated as a display constant associated with the first indicator value.
First indicator Display constant
# Awards:
8 [No display constant]

When multiple 586 fields occur the data is often reformatted into one paragraph on printed products. Each citation is separated by a semicolon-space (; ) and the concatenated note ends with a period. This punctuation is not carried in the MARC record but may be system generated as a display constant associated with multiple 586 fields.
Content designated fields:
