MARC 21 Concise Classification: Note Fields (68X)

Fields 680-685 contain textual information about the scope of the classification number in field 153 (Classification Number) and instruct classifiers in the use of classification numbers. Except for field 680 (Scope Note), which is intended for display to public catalog users in addition to guiding classifiers, these notes often are not written in a form adequate for public user display.
