Subject: [PCCLIST] 034 $2 codes can now be used
PCC folks,
I sent this announcement out to our catalogers at UW, but thought it might
also be helpful to other NACO folks out there, so I am sharing it with you
too:
For those of you who create name headings for geographic places
(jurisdictions such as cities, towns, neighborhoods, provinces, etc.),
since August we have been able to include coded geographic coordinates in
MARC authority field 034. LC has now defined a number of source codes
that can be used in 034 $2, and as of November 30, we can now use these
codes in authority records.
The list of codes can be found in the "MARC Code List: PART VII: Other Sources"
under field 034:

Other (A source other than one for which a unique code has been
established)
If you have a need for a code for some other source, it can be requested
from LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office. Please note that
for the time being, we are only putting 034 fields into geographic NAME
authority records. Hopefully at some point in the future we can include
them also in subject authority records for geographic features.
