INPUT CONVENTIONS

Structure - First four characters are mnemonic uppercase characters for serial titles to which a fifth character (e.g., A, B, C, D) is added. The sixth character is a computer-calculated check character which may be either alphabetic or numeric. All alphabetic characters are in uppercase. Hyphens and spaces appearing in the CODEN abbreviation are not carried in the MARC record.
Embedded Holdings Information - When holdings information is embedded in a MARC bibliographic record, no additional field 030 is input.
