MARC-Bib: 500a (General note)
Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
-
if the data has been given as a wrong element, move it to the correct element
if you are following LC-PCC policy, add the data for this element
if you are not following LC-PCC policy, add the data if you feel it might be useful–remember the principles of differentiation and sufficiency
AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
since this type of data is supposed to come from a specified source, or sources, on the resource itself (see the Source instructions above), if you cannot find the data on one of those sources, either delete the data or move it to another element, e.g., an appropriate note
