CONTENT DESIGNATOR HISTORY

Field 840 - Series Added Entry - Title [OBSOLETE, 1980]
Field 840 was made obsolete when the decision was made to use field 830 for both uniform titles and conventional titles that are not entered under a name. For field 840, the first indicator was undefined; the second was defined for nonfiling characters (values 0-9). The subfield codes were: $a (Title), $h (Medium), $v (Volume or number).
