FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Subject added entry in which the entry element is a corporate name.

Subject added entries are assigned to a bibliographic record to provide access according to established subject cataloging principles and guidelines. Field 610 may be used by any institution assigning subject headings based on lists and authority files identified in the second indicator position or in subfield $2 (Source of heading or term).

Meeting names that are not entered subordinately to a corporate body are recorded in field 611 (Subject Added Entry-Meeting Name).


GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
