`
`Classification or call number that is taken from Library of Congress Classification or LC Classification
`Additions and Changes. The brackets that customarily surround alternate class/call numbers are not
`carried in the MARC record; they may be generated based on the presence of repeated $a subfields.

`
`Second indicator values distinguish between content actually assigned by the Library of Congress and
`content assigned by an organization other than LC.
`
`Note that only subfield $u is locally defined. The entire field description is repeated here for ease of use
`of this document.
`
`GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
`
`I INDICATORS
`
`First Indicator - Existence in LC collection
`Whether or not the item is contained in the LC collections.
`
`# - No information provided
`Used for all call numbers assigned by agencies other than the Library of Congress.
`
`050 #4$aNB933.F44$bT6
`
`0 - Item is in LC
`
`Item is in the LC collections under the call number given in the field.
`
`Other agencies should use this value when transcribing from LC cataloging copy on which
`the call number is neither enclosed within brackets nor preceded by a Maltese cross.

`
`Item is not in the LC collections, or that it is not shelved under that number.
`
`Used by other agencies when transcribing from LC copy on which the call number appears
`in brackets or is preceded by a Maltese cross. Brackets that customarily surround call
`numbers for items not in LC are not carried in the MARC record; they may be generated for
`display.
`
`050 10$aBJ1533.C4$bL49
`
`Second Indicator - Source of call number
`
`Whether the source of the class/call number is the Library of Congress or another organization.
`
`0 - Assigned by LC
`Used when an institution is transcribing from LC cataloging copy.
`
`050 00$aJK609$b.M2
`
`4 - Assigned by agency other than LC
`
`I SUBFIELD CODES
`
`$a - Classification number
`
`Classification number portion of the call number. The source of the classification number is
`Library of Congress Classification and the LC Classification—Additions and Changes. Subfield
`$a is repeated to record an alternative class number. The alternate class number is recorded
`following the last subfield of the call number. If the alternate class number also includes an
`item number, the item number is included in the same subfield $a as the alternate class
`number; it is not separately subfielded.

`050 00$aRC951
`
`$b - Item number
`
`Item number portion of the call number. An item number is the Cutter, date, term, etc. that is
`added to a classification number to distinguish an item from any other item assigned the same
`classification number.
`
`Organizations that use the Cutter-Sanborn Three-Figure Author Table may conform to Library
`of Congress item number practice by applying Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting
`conventions.

`
`$3 - Materials specified
`Part of the described material to which the field applies. The subfield is used with archival-
`type materials; its use is parallel with the use of subfield $3 in other fields.

`See description of this subfield in Appendix A: Control Subtzelds.
`
`INPUT CONVENTIONS
`
`LCCNs - When the call number field consists only of a class number (letters followed by numbers, possibly
`including a period and also a space), no subfleld $b is used.
`
`050 00$aQA37
`050 00$aE525.5123d
`
`General rule is that the item number part of the call number begins at the last capital letter in the call number
`or the period, if present, preceding it.
`
`050 00$aHF5549.5.R44$bM35
`
`Exceptions to the general rule for item numbers:
`
`If the call number is followed by only a date, with no Cutter number, the date is contained in subfield $b.
`
`050 00$aE457.92$b1967
`
`If the call number is followed by volume numbering that includes uppercase letters, these letters are ignored
`in locating the last capital letter.
`
`http://www. |oc.gov/m arcflai bl iographi c/bd050.html
`
`If the call number is for a classification schedule (i.e., it is a call number beginning with Z696.U5), the class
`1etter(s) for the particular classification and any following digit(s) are recorded in subfield $a (as part of the
`classification). Subfield $b contains the date.
`
`050 00$aJX1977$b.A2 St/ESA/35
`
`050 00$aHA1501$bA, Nr. 615
`
`050 00$aHD28$b.Y555 vol. 55 Suppl.
`
`If the call number begins with CS71, subfield $b contains the date.
`
`050 00$aCS71.C323$b1977
`
`050 00$aZ696.U5E3$b1958
`
`050 00$aZ696.U5H-HJ$b l 981
`
`Abbreviations subser. and Suppl. are recorded in subfield $b, even when there is no item number.
`
`Capitalization - Alphabetic characters in the classification number portion of the field are generally
`uppercase.
`
`Spacing - Any spaces that are desired as part of the call number must be input.

`

`Brackets that customarily surround call numbers for items not in LC or alternate class/call numbers are not
`carried in the MARC record. They may be system generated as a display constant associated with the first
`indicator value 1 or additional $3 subfields.

`CONTENT DESIGNATOR HISTORY
`
`Indicator 1 - Existence in LC collection
`
`# - No information provided
`Prior to the definition of code 4 in the second indicator position in 1982, the first indicator in the Visual materials specifications
`was undefined. Visual materials records created prior to 1982 may contain a # meaning undefined in the first indicator position.
`
`Indicator 2 - Series call number (SE) [OBSOLETE]
`In the serials specifications, the use of the second indicator position to indicate the type of series was made obsolete in 1976. The
`values were: 0 (N0 series involved), 1 (Main series), 2 (Subseries), 3 (Sub-subseries).
`
`$d - Supplementary class number WU) [OBSOLETE 1981]
`$0 - Authority record control number or standard number [NE W, 201 7]

`Indicator 2 - Source ofcall number
`# - No information provided [OBSOLETE]
`Second indicator was defined in 1982. Prior to that change, 050 was an agency-assigned field and contained only call numbers
`assigned by the Library of Congress. LC records created before the definition of this indicator may contain a blank (#) meaning
`undefined in this position.
