DEFINITION AND SCOPE
Information that identifies other related bibliographic
items. Each of the linking entry fields specifies a different
relationship between the target item described
by the record and a related item. These
relationships fall into three classes: 1) related items that
assist the user in continuing to search but are not physically
required to obtain the target item (e.g., former entries for
continuing resources, translations of the target item); 2)
related items that have to be obtained physically in order to
use the target item (e.g., the host item for a
component part: a journal issue containing a
specific article); 3) related items that are
constituent units of a larger whole (e.g., the
individual photographs contained in a visual material
collection). The linking entry fields are designed to generate
a note in a display of the record in which they appear. They
can also provide machine linkage between the bibliographic
record for the target item and the bibliographic record for the
related item, if the related item is covered by a separate
record; and/or facilitate indexing.
TERMS USED IN LINKING ENTRY FIELDS
Target Item - Bibliographic item that is
the principal or primary unit covered by the description for
which the record was constructed. The target item is the item
to which the information in character positions 06 (Type of
record) and 07 (Bibliographic level) of the Leader, and field
245 (Title Statement) apply.
Related Item - Bibliographic item that has
a chronological, horizontal (different versions), or vertical
(hierarchical) relationship with a target item, and for which
the linking entry field is formulated.
Component Part - Bibliographic item that is
physically part of another bibliographic item such that the
retrieval of the part is dependent on the physical
identification and location of the host item (e.g., a chapter
in a book, an article in a journal). (Field 774)
Constituent Unit - Bibliographic item that
is part of another item. The constituent unit is physically
separate from the item of which it is considered a part.
(Fields 770, 774)
Host Item - Bibliographic item that either
physically contains (as in the case of the component part), or
bibliographically includes (as in the case of a constituent
unit), the subpart that is the target item for the record. For
example, if a record describes a journal article, the host is
the journal; if a record describes one digital item in a set,
the host is the set. (Fields 772, 773)
Chronological Relationship - Relationship
in time between bibliographic items (e.g., the relation of a
serial to its predecessors and successors). (Fields 777, 780,
785)
Horizontal Relationship - Relationship
between versions of a bibliographic item in different
languages, formats, media, etc. (Fields 765, 767, 775, 776)
Vertical Relationship - Hierarchical
relationship of the whole to its parts and the parts to the
whole (e.g., a journal article to the journal, collective title
of conference proceedings to individual titles of
contributions, subseries to main entry series). (Fields 760,
762, 770)
RECORD LINKS AND NOTES
Linking Entry Fields (fields
760-787) - Fields carry descriptive data concerning
the related item, the control number for the record of the
related item, or both. Minimal content designation is provided
for the data concerning the related item that is used in the
linking entry fields. For data operations requiring fuller
content designation such as indexing and sorting, subfield $w
(control number for the related item) allows the system to
follow that link to the related record to obtain fully
content-designated data. Moreover, the coded data in control
subfield $7 allows some types of indexing without reference to
the actual related record. The value used in the first
indicator position of a linking entry field determines whether
a note is to be generated from the linking entry field or from
field 580.
In fields 76X-78X the general resource
to resource relationship is indicated by the choice of tag with
some more specific relationships indicated by indicators in
fields 772, 780, and 785. Subfield $i is used to indicate
relationships not expressed in the tag or indicator, thus is
appropriate for more specific relationship designations. If it
is desirable to make the specific relationship information
available in a coded form, subfield $4 is used.
Linking Entry Complexity Note (field 580) -
Linking Entry Fields are designed to support generation of a
note concerning the related item in a display of the record for
the target item. When the relationship is too complex to be
expressed using relationship information expressed by the tag
indicator, or $i or $4 subfields, and the data from the linking
entry field or the linked record, the note is recorded in the
Linking Entry Complexity Note field. When used, this field
appears in addition to any relevant 760-787 linking entry
field, and no note is generated from the linking entry
field.
Added Entries (fields 700-730) - When an
added entry is desired for a title used in a linking field, the
added entry is recorded in the appropriate 700-730 field.
Linking fields are not intended to take the place of added
entries. Likewise, an added entry in field 700-730 does not
take the place of a linking field, as it cannot cause a note to
be generated or carry a record link.
Component Parts/Constituent Units - Linking
entry field 773 (Host Item Entry) is used to link the record
for a component part that is an integral part of another item
to the record for the other item. For example, in records for
journal articles, it contains an identification of the journal.
The exact location of the article in the journal is recorded in
subfield $g of field 773. The record for the host item or any
larger bibliographic unit may include information about
constituent units, recorded in the repeatable field 774
(Constituent Unit Entry). Information about each constituent
would be recorded in a separate occurrence of field 774.
GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
■ INDICATORS
First Indicator - Note controller
Whether or not a display note is to be generated from the
field.
0 - Display note
Note is to be generated from the data in the linking
entry field (or from the related record identified in
the field).

1 - Do not display note
Note is not to be generated from the data in the
linking entry field (or from the related record). Value
1 is used when the display constant associated with the
linking field does not adequately describe the
relationship. In this case, a note for display is
recorded in field 580. The 760-787 field is recorded to
provide the machine linkage and field 580 is used for
display.
Second Indicator - Display constant
controller [all except 780 and 785]
Controls display constants preceding the data in linking
entry fields 760-777 and 786-787. For the print constants,
see the description of the second indicator in the sections
for each linking entry field.
# - [Field-related phrase]
0 - Parent [772 only]
8 - No display constant generated
Second Indicator - Type of relationship
[780]
Identifies the type of relationship in field 780 only. See
the description under the section for field 780 (Preceding
Entry). For that field, the display constants are specified
in
Input Conventions.

■ SUBFIELD CODES
As a general rule, each subfield defined for the linking
entry fields corresponds to a field or field block that would
be used to describe the related item in a separate record. A
separate bibliographic record for the related item may or may
not exist. For example, subfield $a (Main entry heading),
corresponds to the 1XX (Main Entries) block; subfield $t
(Title) corresponds to field 245 (Title Statement), and so
on. The rules and practices applied to formulating the data
in the linking entry fields are usually the same as would be
followed for formulating the data about a related item in a
separate bibliographic record except that the information
provided need not be as complete. The fullness of the
bibliographic information about the related item recorded in
the linking entry fields should be based on the intended use
of the links. When the related item is represented by a
separate bibliographic record, recording only the basic
bibliographic details (e.g., title, and relationship
information) is usually sufficient.
$a - Main entry heading
Main entry heading data (without the content designators)
from field 100 (Main Entry-Personal Name), 110 (Main
Entry-Corporate Name), or 111 (Main Entry-Meeting Name) in
the related record. Individual components of the name or
uniform title are not recorded in a separate subfield as
they would be in a 1XX field.

according to Representation of dates and times
(ISO 8601). The date requires 8 numeric characters in the
pattern yyyymmdd (4 for the year, 2 for the month,
and 2 for the day). The time requires 8 numeric characters
in the pattern hhmmss.f (2 for the hour, 2 for the
minute, 2 for the second, and 2 for a decimal fraction of
the second, including the decimal point). The 24-hour clock
(00-23) is used. An indication of the basis on which the

$3 - Materials specified [773 only]
Part of the described materials to which the field applies.
$4 - Relationship code
Designation in coded form of a relationship between the
resource described in the 76X-78X field and the resource
described in the 1XX/245 of the record.
$7 - Control subfield
Up to four character positions (designated 0, 1, etc.) that
indicate special characteristics of the linked entry.
Because the definitions of the codes in subfield $7 are
dependent on the character position in which they occur,
the coding of any character position mandates that each
preceding character position contains a code or the fill
character (|); succeeding character positions need not be
used. For example, if position 0 and 1 are not applicable
but position 2 is applicable, then position 0 and 1 contain
code n (Not applicable) or a fill character.
/0 - Type of main entry heading
Code indicating either the type of name contained in
subfield $a or the uniform title in subfield $t. The
codes correspond to the 1XX tag in the record for the
related item: 100 (Main Entry-Personal Name), 110 (Main
Entry-Corporate Name), 111 (Main Entry-Meeting Name), and
130 (Main Entry-Uniform Title). Code n is used when no
other codes apply.

INPUT CONVENTIONS
Establishing a link - Links are established
reciprocally in related bibliographic records. A linking
entry field links to a related item which may be represented
in a file by a record. When related records exist, each
record may contain a corresponding linking entry. In some
cases the reciprocal linking entries use the same field tags,
in others they have corresponding field tags. The reciprocal
field tags are as shown below:

CONTENT DESIGNATOR HISTORY
Fields 760-787 originally were defined only in the serials
specifications and contained information describing
relationships between bibliographic items that did not
necessarily facilitate indexing or provide a machine link to
the record for the related item. In 1977, subfield $w (Record
control number) was defined in these fields to facilitate
linkage among records within a given system and across
systems.
In 1981, the following fields were validated for the books
specifications and subfield $r was defined to permit linkage
through report numbers of technical report materials: 765,
767, 770, 772, 775, 776, 780, 785, and 787.
When the record-linking technique was fully developed in
1982, field 773 (Host Item Entry) was defined for all MARC
specifications to accommodate the cataloging of component
parts. The definitions of several other subfields were either
broadened or more narrowly defined at that time.
Field 786 - Data Source Entry [NEW, 1995]
Field 787 - Nonspecific Relationship Entry [RENAMED, 2009]
$c - Place of publication (SE) [REDEFINED, 1976]
$d - Dates of publication (SE) [OBSOLETE, 1976]
$g - Relationship dates [REDEFINED, 1982]
Subfield $g was broadened in 1982 as part of the
record-linking specifications, specifically to include the
location information of a component part in a host item.
$b - Edition [NEW, 1982]
$d - Place, publisher, and date of publication [NEW,
1982]
$g - Relationship information [RENAMED, 2009]
$i - Display text [REDEFINED, 2009]
$k - Series data for related item [NEW, 1982]
$s - Uniform title [NEW, 1982]
$q - Parallel title [OBSOLETE, 1990]
$q - Enumeration and first page [NEW, 2003]
$7 - Control subfield [NEW, 1982]
Prior to 1982, edition statements and publication statements
were recorded in subfield $c, and uniform titles were
recorded in subfield $t.
$7/1 - Form of name2 - Multiple surname
[OBSOLETE, 1996]
Use of the Form of name code 2 (Multiple surname) was made
obsolete when code 1 (Single surname) was redefined
as surname to be used for headings with either
single or multiple surnames.
$7/2 - Type of record
$b - Archival and manuscripts
control [OBSOLETE, 1995]
$7/3 - Bibliographic level from Leader/07 of related
record
p - Pamphlet [OBSOLETE] [CAN/MARC
only]
$4 - Relationship code [NEW,
2009]
