Appendix B Bibliographic and authority tags
Authority tags
All authority records saved in the MARC Editor must have data entered in one
100series tag (100, 110, 111, 130, 150, 151, or 155). The authority tags used by
Cataloging to index authority records for searching and cataloging are identified
starting on page 639.
Use the following key to interpret the Authority tags table column headings.
