700 Index Term - Personal Name

Field definition and scope:

Field 700 contains a personal name or the personal name portion of a name/title field used as an index term that supplements terms derived in the MARC record. The name may be referred to in the classification number and caption in field 153 (Classification Number).

The field may be used to link a classification number with a related controlled personal name heading. The values in the second indicator position or the data in subfield $2 (Source of heading or term) identify the subject heading system or thesaurus used by an institution to formulate the personal name index term. Terms not controlled by a thesaurus are contained in field 753 (Index Term - Uncontrolled).

Field 700 is repeatable.

Guidelines for applying content designators:

Field 700 parallels the 600 Subject Added Entry field in the bibliographic format. The indicators and subfield codes below were created from the information in field 600. Examples of field 700 are provided in this section. Guidelines for the input conventions and the source for the content designators are in MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data: X00 (Personal Names - General Information) and 600 (Subject Added Entry - Personal Name).
