Additions to the MARC Code List for Relators


The codes listed below have been recently approved for use in MARC 21 records. The codes will be added to MARC Code List for Relators. They were submitted by the Arizona State University Libraries, prompted by current work with resource descriptions in the areas of stage performance, archeology, and data and grant administration.

The codes should not be used in exchange records until after April 18, 2009. This 60-day waiting period is required to provide MARC 21 implementers time to include newly defined codes in any validation tables they may apply to the MARC fields where the codes are used.
