Existing WorldCat indexes helpful for retrieving SCIPIO records

Index name	Index label(s)	Field and subfields indexed	Notes
Authentication code	ac:	042 a scipio	This existing WorldCat index now includes the code for SCIPIO records. The code scipio in 042 a is the identifier that tells the system to include records in the SCIPIO scoped view (searches a subset of WorldCat records limited to SCIPIO only when you set the option). Connexion does not automatically add the field or code to new SCIPIO WorldCat records. SCIPIO catalogers must add it by entering manually or by applying a constant data record that contains it.
Notes	nt:	501 a 502 a 504 a 505 a r t 508 a 511 a 518 a 520 a b 521 a 533 a b c d e f n 534 a t 536 a-h 538 a 545 a 550 a 753 a b c	An existing WorldCat index that can be used to search for notes pertinent to SCIPIO sale and for local notes.
