GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
■ INDICATORS
First Indicator - Shelving scheme Scheme used to shelve a bibliographic item in the collections of the reporting
organization.
# - No information provided
0 - Library of Congress classification Item is shelved by a Library of Congress classification number. This number,
which is contained in subfield $h (Classification part), is assigned
from the Library of Congress Classification or the LC
Classification-Additions and Changes; two publications that are
maintained by the Library of Congress. A full description of a Library of
Congress classification number is given under field 050 (Library of Congress
Call Number).
1 - Dewey Decimal classification Item is shelved by a Dewey Decimal classification number. This number, which is
contained in subfield $h (Classification part), is assigned from the
Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index, the Abridged
Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index, or the
DC&: Dewey Decimal Classification Additions, Notes and
Decisions. These three publications are maintained by the Library of
Congress. A full description of a Dewey Decimal classification number is given
under field 082 (Dewey Decimal Call Number).
2 - National Library of Medicine classification Item is shelved by a U.S. National Library of Medicine classification number.
This number, which is contained in subfield $h (Classification
part), has been assigned from the National Library of Medicine
Classification schedules QS-QZ and W or from the Library of
Congress Classification schedules used by the National Library of
Medicine. The National Library of Medicine maintains the National Library of
Medicine schedules. A full description of a U.S. National Library of Medicine
classification number is given under field 060 (National Library of Medicine
Call Number).
3 - Superintendent of Documents classification Item is shelved by a U.S. Superintendent of Documents classification number.
This number, which is contained in subfield $h (Classification
part), is assigned from the Superintendent of Documents Classification
System. Superintendent of Documents classification numbers are assigned
only by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). A fuller description of the
GPO classification number is given under field 086 (Government Document
Classification Number).
4 - Shelving control number Item is shelved by a shelving control number, which is contained in subfield
$j (Shelving control number).
5 - Title Item is shelved by a title. If necessary, this title is contained in subfield
$l (Shelving form of title).
6 - Shelved separately Parts of the item are shelved separately because they are classed
separately.
7 - Source specified in subfield $2 Item is shelved by a classification number in a scheme other than that
specified by one of the other defined values and for which an identifying code
is given in subfield $2. The codes to be used are given in
Classification Scheme Source Codes.
8 - Other scheme Particular shelving scheme is known but is not specified.
Second Indicator - Shelving order Whether a serial or multipart item is shelved under a primary or alternative
numbering scheme.
Distinction is necessary when an item carries two numbering schemes. The numbering
scheme may be an alphabetical, numerical, or chronological designation.
# - No information provided
0 - Not enumeration
1 - Primary enumeration Also used when only one numbering scheme is applicable.

■ SUBFIELD CODES
$a - Location Institution or person holding the item or from which access is given. Contains a
MARC code of the holding institution or the name of the institution or person.
Sublocations within an organization are contained in subfield $b
(Sublocation or collection). To assist in differentiating between a subfield
$a institutional location and a subfield $b sublocation,
subfield $a contains the name to be addressed in external communication
and subfield $b contains the name within the institution.

If the bibliographic item is owned by an individual or organization other than the
one identified in subfield $a, the actual owner may be identified in
subfield $x (Nonpublic note) or $z (Public note) or in field
561 (Provenance Note). If the item is physically located somewhere other than the
location from which it is available, the physical location may also be identified
in subfield $x or $z of field 852.
$b - Sublocation or collection Specific department, library, etc., within the holding organization in which the
item is located or from which it is available.
Name is given in full or in a locally standardized abbreviated or coded form.
Subfield $b may be repeated to indicate the organizational hierarchy of
the sublocation. Separate 852 fields are used for each sublocation when multiple
copies of an item having the same call number are housed in various sublocations
or when parts of a copy are split among several locations.

$c - Shelving location Shelving location of the item within the collection of the holding organization.
It may be used to indicate the physical location within a sublocation; for
example, reference alcove, oversize shelving. The description of the shelving
location is given in full or in a standardized abbreviated or coded form.

$f - Coded location qualifier Three-character code that identifies the specific issues of the item that are
located apart from the main holdings of the same item. Subfield $f
immediately follows the subfield $a, $b, or $c
being qualified.
Code is composed of Qualifier type, Number of units, and Unit type codes. If the
location qualifier cannot be expressed in coded form, it may be described in
subfield $g (Non-coded location qualifier).
l, p - Qualifier type One-character alphabetic code indicates if it is the latest or previous time or
part unit that is housed in a different location.
l - Latest Latest, including the current, time or part unit is housed in a different
location.
p - Previous Previous, not including the current, time or part unit is housed in a
different location.
1-9 - Number of units One-character number (1-9) specifies the number of time or part units that are
housed in a different location. When a number is not required to identify the
specific units, this character position contains a blank (#). If the number of
time or parts units exceeds 9, they may be contained in subfield $g
(Non-coded location qualifier) and this character position contains a blank
(#).
When Qualifier type is Latest (code l), the number includes the current time or
part unit. When Qualifier type is Previous (code p), the number does not
include the current time or part unit.
# - No information provided
1-9 - Number of units
m, w, y, e, i, s - Unit type One-character alphabetic code describes either the time period or the part that
is housed in a different location.

INPUT CONVENTIONS
Order of Subfields - When used, subfield $f (Coded location qualifier) or $g (Non-coded
location qualifier) immediately follows the subfield $a (Location),
$b (Sublocation or collection), or $c (Shelving location) being
qualified. Subfield $3 (Materials specified), when used, is always the first
subfield in the field.
Embedded Holdings Information - When holdings information is embedded in a MARC bibliographic record, multiple 852
fields may be used only when the information does not include other holdings information
fields that must be linked to a specific 852 field for intelligibility. When field
linking is required, one 852 field and the other fields associated with it may be
embedded in the bibliographic record. Separate holdings records must be made for each of
the other 852 fields and its associated fields.
Capitalization - Qualifier type and Unit type codes in subfield $f are input in lowercase.
