008 - Maps (NR)
MARC 21 Bibliographic - Concise
2010
Maps definition of field 008/18-34 is used
when Leader/06 (Type of record) contains code e (Cartographic
material) or f (Manuscript cartographic material). Field 008
positions 01-17 and 35-39 are defined the same in all 008
fields and are described in the 008-All materials
section.
Field 008/18-34 character positions are equivalent to those
in field 006/01-17 when field 006/00 (Form of material)
contains code e (Cartographic material) or f (Manuscript
cartographic material). Details about specific codes defined
for the equivalent character positions in field 006 and 008 for
maps are provided in the Guidelines for
Applying Content Designators section of 008-Maps
only.
