Introduction. OCLC services use some 9xx fields for processing. OCLC does not retain these fields in the master record.
Common MARC Tags MARC stands for Machine Readable Cataloging. It is a standard format for the records which describe items available in the library.
They may, however, be retained in user's archival records and institution records depending on the needs of the service. For example, field 9. This manual does not include descriptions of these fields. The World. Cat Cataloging Partners, and other services, also use some 9xx fields to supply nonbibliographic information. Because World. Cat Cataloging Partners 9xx fields are defined by agreement between a library and a vendor, this manual does not include descriptions of these fields. OCLC removes World. Cat Cataloging Partners- defined 9xx fields from master records.
You may still see 9xx fields that are not defined in OCLC master records. These fields will need to be removed before replacing the master record.

MARC Tags. Understanding MARC 2. Bibliographic. Source: Library of Congress. Tags. The tags (3- digit numbers) are followed by the names of the fields they represent. If a tag can appear more than once in one bibliographic record, it is labeled repeatable (R). If it can only be used once, it is labeled non- repeatable (NR). Indicators. The use of indicators is explained in fields where they are used.
Indicators are one- digit numbers. Beginning with the 0. Indicator 1 and one for Indicator 2.
The indicators are not actually defined in all fields, however. And it is possible that a 2nd indicator will be used, while the 1st indicator remains undefined (or vice versa).
When an indicator is undefined, the character position will be represented by the character # (for blank space). Subfield Codes. All the data in each field (beginning with the 0. The most common subfield codes used with each tag are shown. Each subfield code is preceded by the character $, signifying a delimiter.
The name of the subfield follows the code. In general, every field MUST have a subfield 'a' ($a). One exception that is often seen is in Field 0. ISBN), when the ISBN information (subfield $a) is unavailable but the price (subfield $c) is known.
Some subfields are repeatable. In this summary, repeatability is noted for only the more common repeatable subfields. Examples: Examples follow the explanation for each field.
For clarity, one space has been placed between the tag and the first indicator, one space has been placed between the second indicator and the first delimiter- subfield code, and one space has been inserted between the delimiter- subfield code and the subfield data.
