IFLA Universal Bibliographic Control and International MARC Core Programme (UBCIM) UNIMARC Manual : Bibliographic Format 1994 3-- Notes Block Definition and Scope of Fields This block contains notes - free text statements qualifying and amplifying the description and access points and dealing with any aspect of the physical makeup of the item or its contents. The following fields are defined: 300 General Note 301 Notes Pertaining to Identification Numbers 302 Notes Pertaining to Coded Information 303 General Notes Pertaining to Descriptive Information 304 Notes Pertaining to Title and Statement of Responsibility 305 Notes Pertaining to Edition and Bibliographic History 306 Notes Pertaining to Publication, Distribution, etc. 307 Notes Pertaining to Physical Description 308 Notes Pertaining to Series 310 Notes Pertaining to Binding and Availability 311 Notes Pertaining to Linking Fields 312 Notes Pertaining to Related Titles 313 Notes Pertaining to Subject Access 314 Notes Pertaining to Intellectual Responsibility 315 Notes Pertaining to Material (or Type of Publication) Specific Information 316 Note Relating to the Copy in Hand 317 Provenance Note 318 Action Note 320 Internal Bibliographies/Indexes Note 321 External Indexes/Abstracts/References Note 322 Credits Note (Projected and Video Material and Sound Recordings) 323 Cast Note (Projected and Video Material and Sound Recordings) 324 Facsimile Note 325 Reproduction Note 326 Frequency Statement Note (Serials) 327 Contents Note 328 Dissertation (Thesis) Note 330 Summary or Abstract 332 Preferred Citation of Described Materials 333 Users/Intended Audience Note 336 Type of Electronic Resource Note 337 System Requirements Note (Electronic Resources) 345 Acquisition Information Note Notes on Field Contents Punctuation: Certain types of notes may follow ISBD rules for content and form, including punctuation. Although this is not prescribed within UNIMARC, it is recommended that ISBD conventions be followed where possible. General notes: Field 300 has two uses: it is for general notes that do not belong under any of the more specific categories of notes; and it is for notes that belong to other categories but which were not so categorized by the source format, or were coded in the source format as belonging to a category which is not present in UNIMARC. If a note belongs to more than one category represented by fields 301 to 315, then the tag earlier in numerical order other than 300 should be used as a general rule. Notes relating to fields 320 onwards should be entered in those specific fields and not in earlier fields. If two notes belong to the same category they should be contained in separate occurrences of the required field. Notes generated from linking fields: From the UNIMARC record, a note may be generated from data in other fields, e.g. 4-- linking fields or 5-- related title fields. If such a note is to be generated, it is not entered in a 3-- field. Go to top of section 3-- 300 GENERAL NOTES Field Definition This field contains a note on any aspect of the bibliographic item or the record relating to it. Occurrence Optional. Repeatable. It may be used in place of any of the note fields 301 to 315 or, when source formats do not provide the same categorization of notes as UNIMARC, in place of any note which cannot be allocated to a more specific notes field. Indicators Indicator 1: blank (not defined) Indicator 2: blank (not defined) Subfields $a Text of Note. Not repeatable. Notes on Field Contents The data in this field can be in any form. See examples for guidance. If more than one note is to be recorded, each is entered in a repeated field 300. Related Fields See the other notes fields. Examples EX 1 300 ##$aSkeleton outline of events contemporary of Lady Margaret Roper (Alexander Alesius) : (1 folded leaf) in pocket A note on accompanying material.

Occurrence Optional. Repeatable. Indicators Indicator 1: blank (not defined) Indicator 2: blank (not defined) Subfields $a Text of Note. Not repeatable. Notes on Field Contents This field may be used for notes relating to any identification number when it appears on the document or when it is known to have been assigned to the document being recorded. It may be used to note the number itself, if it cannot be recorded in any of the fields 010 to 040 which deal with identification numbers, or it can be used to comment on a particular number. If notes about more than one number are to be recorded, each is entered in a repeated field 301. Related Fields 0-- IDENTIFICATION BLOCK Prefer the use of identification block when data from a note field in a source format can be formatted to be entered in a 0-- field. Examples EX 1 301 ##$a"DOE/EIA0031/2". A technical report number appearing on the title page of the item. EX 2 301 ##$aIncorrectly cited as BL R&D Report 5657 A new series of library and information research reports is published, the first of which is The online public library (LIR Report 1) by A.J.

Indicators Indicator 1: blank (not defined) Indicator 2: blank (not defined) Subfields $a Text of Note. Not repeatable. Notes on Field Contents The data in this field can be in any form. If more than one note is to be recorded, each is entered in a repeated field 302. In most cases a more specific note field can be used. In those instances, prefer the more specific field, e.g. use field 307 rather than 302 for notes on types of illustrations present in the item, even though illustration information is present in coded form in field 105. Related Fields 1-- CODED INFORMATION BLOCK Data recorded in the CODED INFORMATION BLOCK in coded form may be recorded in field 302 in free text form with or without elaboration.

Indicators Indicator 1: blank (not defined) Indicator 2: blank (not defined) Subfields $a Text of Note. Not repeatable. Notes on Field Contents The data in this field can be in any form. If more than one note is to be recorded, each is entered in a repeated field 303. When another more specific note field relates more closely to the nature of the note to be recorded, prefer the more specific field. Related Fields 304 NOTES PERTAINING TO TITLE AND STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY 305 NOTES PERTAINING TO EDITION AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC HISTORY 306 NOTES RELATING TO PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, ETC. 308 NOTES PERTAINING TO SERIES 310 NOTES PERTAINING TO BINDING AND AVAILABILITY These fields all provide a more specific place for notes on description and should be used in preference to field 303 where possible.

Notes on Field Contents This field contains notes on the title or statement(s) of responsibility. It may indicate the source of the title, or extra words in the title which have been omitted from the description. It may also comment or enlarge on the statement of responsibility. For example, if a cataloguing code requires that a statement of responsibility be abbreviated because it consists of more than three names, names that have been omitted from the 200 field may be added in this note field (EX 7). Parallel titles omitted from the title and statement of responsibility may be noted here (EX 5). If more than one note is to be recorded, each is entered in a repeated field 304. There are no rules for punctuation in this field, but it is recommended that where applicable ISBD punctuation is used (EX 6). Related Fields 305 NOTES PERTAINING TO EDITION AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC HISTORY Field 305 is used for details of earlier or later titles related to the one entered in field 200. 312 NOTES PERTAINING TO RELATED TITLES (OF THE SAME WORK) Field 312 is used for details of related title such as another title found on the work or a related uniform title. 314 NOTES PERTAINING TO INTELLECTUAL RESPONSIBILITY Field 314 is used when the note relates to intellectual responsibility not recorded in the 200 field.

Cockman who consulted and rewrote the account of Horace Mann. EX 5 304 ##$aParallel title: Les séquestrés d'Altona A practice of the agency preparing the record is to include parallel titles proper as notes rather than entering them in the descriptive area. (Compare field 312, EX 3.) EX 6 304 ##$aPt. l / by George Lee Haskins -- Pt.2 / by Herbert A. Johnson The record is of volume 2 of History of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Any such quotations should be enclosed within quotation marks. (EX 5, 6) Related Fields 300 GENERAL NOTE Although field 300 can be used as an alternative to 305, it is recommended that 305 be used for bibliographic history notes when possible. 311 NOTES PERTAINING TO LINKING FIELDS Field 311 is used for bibliographic history notes related to linking fields. 4-- LINKING ENTRY BLOCK Certain bibliographic history notes may be generated from 4-- fields. Examples EX 1 305 ##$aV.2. 2nd ed. The record relates to a monograph in 3 volumes. Volume 2 alone of the item is in its second edition. EX 2 305 ##$aPrevious ed.: 1978 The item was published in 1980.
