880 - Alternate Graphic Representation (R)

FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Full content-designated representation, in a different script, of another field in the same record. Field 880 is linked to the associated regular field by subfield $6 (Linkage). The first and second indicator positions in field 880 have the same definition and values as the indicators in the associated field. The subfield codes in field 880 are the same as those defined in the associated field except for subfield $6.

Subfield $6 in the associated field links that field to the 880 field. When an associated field does not exist in the record, field 880 is constructed as if it did and a reserved occurrence number (00) is used to indicate the special situation. The data in field 880 may be in more than one script.

Descriptions of models for and examples of multiscript records are contained in Appendix C; description of subfield $6 is in Appendix A; specifications for character sets and repertoires for scripts are found in MARC Specifications for Record Structure, Character Sets, and Exchange Media.
