<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi, everyone:<br><br>I could use some clarification on citing resources in the MARC21 510 field. If the resource to be cited is NOT a bibliography or catalog and doesn't contain a bibliographic description of the resource being cataloged, can the 510 field still be used for the citation or should the citation be incorporated into the general note? For example, citing an entry for a printer in a biographical dictionary to justified supplied dates in the 26X or citing an academic monograph to justify an attributed name. DCRM(B) suggests that you can ("or other authoritative reference sources") and points to SCF as a standard, but the SCF scope statement itself is a bit narrower: "bibliographies and catalogs (printed or
electronic) that are useful in verifying, identifying, or describing
items held in rare book or special collections libraries and that have
been or are likely to be cited in bibliographic records, trade catalog
descriptions, and bibliographies." <br><br></div><div>Below are the relevant bits from DCRM(B), SCF, and MARC21.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!<br></div><div>Manon<br><br>--<br>Manon Théroux<br>Head of Technical Services<br>U.S. Senate Library<br></div><div><br></div><div>===================<br>DCRM(B):<br>7B14.

Give references to published descriptions in bibliographies or other authoritative reference sources if these have been used to supply elements of the description.

A general note may be made if a description of the publication being cataloged does not appear in a specific bibliographical reference source. Make such a note only if the publication fits the scope for that source and the source purports to be comprehensive for its scope.

electronic) that are useful in verifying, identifying, or describing
items held in rare book or special collections libraries and that have
been or are likely to be cited in bibliographic records, trade catalog
descriptions, and bibliographies.<br><br>MARC 21 Bibliographic Format, Application:<br><br>Use the citation forms recommended in this list when creating citation/references notes (field 510) in a MARC 21 bibliographic record. These notes are described in Descriptive Cataloging for Rare Materials (Books) 7B14.2 and other DCRM manuals.<br><br>The citation/references note (510) field provides a simple bibliographical citation for a published description of an item and specifies where in the resources that description appears; do not include other information. If necessary, use a general note (field 500) to record additional information provided by the resource cited. Create a citation/references note (510) field for titles which might be useful for retrieval, even in cases where this would involve repetition of information already recorded in a general note:<br><br>General note (500) field:<br><br>500 __ $a Evans calls this the 2nd edition.<br><br>Citation/references note (510) field:<br><br>510 4_ $a Evans, C.

<p>Citations or references to published bibliographic descriptions, reviews, abstracts, or
indexes of the content of the described item.
</p>
</div>
<p>Used to specify where an item has been cited or reviewed. Citations or references may be
given in a brief form (i.e., using generally recognizable abbreviations, etc.). The
actual text of a published description is not recorded in field 510 but rather in field
520 (Summary, Etc. Note).
</p>
<p>For <strong>books</strong> and <strong>music</strong>, this field contains references to
published descriptions of the item (e.g., descriptions of rare materials recorded in a
brief, standardized format) or reviews (e.g., reviews in professional literature).
</p>
<p>For <strong>continuing resources</strong>, this field is used to specify publications in
which a continuing resource has been indexed and/or abstracted and the dates of
coverage, if known. The indexing and abstracting services referenced are primarily those
issued as continuing resources. Certain monographic titles, particularly those that are
standard reference tools in a subject area or that cover periods of time not included in
continuing publications, may also be given in this field.
</p>
<p>For unpublished <strong>visual materials</strong> or graphic items collectively
controlled, this field contains references to published descriptions of the work or
collection. Citations to reviews of projected <strong>visual materials</strong> are also
recorded in this field.
</p>
<p>For <strong>mixed materials</strong>, this field contains references to publications in
which abstracts, citations, descriptions, or indexes of the described materials have
appeared.
