Chapter 11: Added Entries - MARC 7XX and 8XX Fields

Access points

A cataloger should include as many access points as seem necessary for patrons to be able to locate the material they seek in the catalog. This is accomplished by constructing headings that provide a means for finding an entry. A heading can be the name of a person, corporate body, geographic area, title of a work or a subject. It may be for authors other than the one selected as the main access point (MARC 1XX) or for titles included in or related in some way to the item being cataloged. MARC 7XX and MARC 8XX tags designate these headings as additional access points. These additional access points, or added entries, may only be added if a reference is made to them in the 245 or 490 1 fields or in a 5XX note.
