006 - Fixed-Length Data Elements-Additional Material Characteristics (R)
MARC 21 Bibliographic - Concise
2010
Eighteen character positions (00-17) that provide for coding information about
special aspects of the item being cataloged that cannot be coded in field 008
(Fixed-Length Data Elements). It is used in cases when an item has multiple
characteristics (e.g., printed material with an accompanying cassette or a map that
is issued serially) and to record the coded serial aspects of nontextual continuing
resources.
Field has a generic tree structure, whereby the code given in 006/00 (Form of
material) determines the data elements defined for subsequent character positions.
Except for code s (Serial/Integrating resource), the codes in field 006/00
correspond to those in Leader/06 (Type of record). For each occurrence of field 006,
the codes defined for character positions 01-17 will be the same as those defined in
the corresponding field 008, character positions 18-34. Configurations of field 006
are given in the following order: books, computer files/electronic resources, maps,
music, continuing resources, visual materials, and mixed materials.
