SCHEME-SPECIFIC CONVENTIONS

Dewey Decimal Classification - A see reference that serves also as a preference order note is recorded in field 253 (Complex See Reference) or field 553 (Valid Number Tracing). An add or divide like note that serves also as a citation order note is recorded in field 761 (Add or Divide Like Instructions). An optional citation and preference order instruction is contained in field 683 (Application Instruction Note).

Order of display of the fields in the record is not necessarily related to the order of the tags. For instance, if an option note is given in field 683 and field 768 contains the citation and preference order instructions for the standard schedule, the standard instructions must be given first. Subfield $8 is used to link and sequence 6XX and 76X fields.

If the instruction is that of a table of preference each entry is recorded in a separate 768 field. If subfield $8 is used, the sequence number is assigned according to the order of the elements in the table.
