Authority tags
All authority records saved in the MARC Editor must have data entered in one
100Ćseries 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.

Note: The asterisk (*) indicates that the tag is no longer valid. This character
only appears in the No. column.

for Authority Data publication.
Rep This column identifies each tag as repeatable or nonĆrepeatable.

Pos1 This column contains the default contents of the tag's first indicator position. If
the number in this column appears in parentheses, the indicator is a nonfiling

are modifying templates during system setup. This symbol only appears in the
Pos1 column.
Pos2 This column contains the contents of the tag's second indicator position. If the
number in this column appears in parentheses, the indicator is a nonfiling
character.
Valid This column contains the subfields allowed in each tag.
Nonrep This column contains the nonrepeating subfields for each tag.
Indexed This column contains the indexed subfields for each tag. These are the subĆ
fields used to conduct searches.

in the subfield columns (Valid, Nonrep, and Indexed).

Cataloging defaults. Other combinations may be possible.
