MARC 21 Concise Classification: Number Building Fields (76X)

Fields 761-768 provide instructions for building onto classification numbers from sources within the schedule and tables of the scheme identified in field 084 (Classification Scheme and Edition). Such fields are highly structured, and many are intended to assist the classifier in constructing classification numbers. The information in these fields is not written in a form adequate for public display.

Footnotes containing instructions that apply to several classification numbers are converted to the appropriate 6XX or 76X field.
