Discussion Paper 2004-DP02: Applying Field 752 (Added Entry *
Hierarchical Place Name) for different purposes in the MARC 21
Bibliographic Format
Online at:  http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2004/2004-dp02.html

SUMMARY: This paper explores the variety of current usage of the MARC 21
field 752, Added Entry -- Hierarchical Place Name, and the ways that
some online systems index the field. It suggests the need of some
institutions to index the different uses differently, and presents a
possible way to facilitate such capability by either adding an indicator
to show whether the place name designates place of publication or
subject or defining a new field in the subject range for subject use.

Sincerely,
