Information:
The Subject Added Entry - Corporate Name (610 tag)
of the MARC 21 bibliographic record contains a
corporate name used as a subject heading. A
corporate body is defined by AACR2 as "an
organization or group of persons that is identified
by a particular name and that acts, or may act as
an entity. Typical examples of corporate bodies
are associations, institutions, business firms,
nonprofit enterprises, governments, government
agencies, religious bodies, local churches, and
conferences." Chapter 24 of AACR2, "Headings
For Corporate Bodies", contains rules for constructing
corporate names in AACR2 form.
RDA 11.2.1 provides basic guidelines on recording
names of corporate bodies.
A subject heading is a term or phrase used to
describe the content of a particular item. A
subject heading makes the collection more
accessible because library users would not have to
know the title or the author of individual items to
locate the information they need. They can use a
subject term instead.
The use and application of subject headings are
determined by the controlled vocabulary list the
library uses. In the United States the most popular
subject heading lists used are either the
Library of Congress Subject Headings or the
Sears List of Subject Headings. Consult the
subject heading list of your choice for the use and
application rules and guidelines.
Use the 610 tag to create the subject access for a
corporate name in the MARC record. The first
indicator specifies if the name is an inverted
name, a jurisdictional name, or a name in direct
order. Older records may contain corporate names in
inverted order, while newer records will specify
the jurisdictional name and the name in direct
order. Jurisdictional names include governmental
bodies at all levels. Non-jurisdictional corporate
names are generally entered under its most commonly
identified name.
The most common subfields used in the 610 tag are
subfield a, which contains the name of the
corporate body, and subfield b, the name of the
subordinate unit of the organization. A separate
subfield b is created for each subordinate unit.
Also, use subfields v for form subdivisions, x for
general subdivisions, y for chronological
subdivisions, and z for geographic subdivisions
when appropriate. Additional subfields from the
subfield list for the 610 tag are used when and
where appropriate.

Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)
and LC's Name Authority List are designed for LC's
own collection and are used by many large public
libraries, college and university libraries, and
special libraries. LC's lists are comprehensive,
and have a large number of free-floating
subdivisions that can be added to corporate names.

Sears List of Subject Headings is designed
to meet the needs of small and medium-sized

and title entries in Sears headings. Sears provides
a smaller list of subdivisions to use with
corporate names than LCSH.
