Guidelines

When searching for LCCNs (field M010), the year at the beginning should be formatted so that years up to 1999 are searched as the last two digits of the year and years 2000 on are searched as four digits. The remaining numbers are searched as a six-digit number with leading zeros.

  • A number can have a prefix that is searched as connected to the number (e.g., ne64-2560 searches for ne64002560 and 64002560).
  • A number without a prefix searches for numbers with and without prefixes. To search for a number that has no prefix and only return those numbers, include a circumflex (^) before the number (e.g., ^64002560 returns 64002560).

Indexing field M667 helps catalogers identify the history of personal names previously in undifferentiated authority records and subsequently established as separate authority records, using unique control numbers. The index only retrieves records with M667 fields that contain the word "undifferentiated." No textual data in the M667 field is indexed. The system does not compare or verify LCCNs in field M667 with LCCNs in field M010.

Guidelines

  • Enter all letters and numbers.
  • Omit punctuation.
  • Omit spaces.
  • ISBN and ISSN numbers are indexed up to the first parenthesis only.

Because of the way character conversion is done, when searching for LCCNs (M010), we cannot follow the instruction as in the LCCN index itself. I.e. you cannot use a circumflex (^) before the number (e.g., ^64002560, or use hyphens. So, the abovementioned guidelines are also applied to LCCNs.
