Information:
The Added Entry - Meeting Name (711 tag) of
the MARC 21 bibliographic record contains a
name heading for the conference, exhibition,
expedition, or other type of event responsible
for the work or some portion of the work. In a
catalog record, one access point is chosen as
the main entry heading. This can be either a
name or a title of a work. When the main entry
is a meeting name, the meeting name is entered
in the 111 tag. The meeting name in a 711 is
not considered the main entry; however, access
to the meeting name is an additional way to
search for the work. Each meeting name is
entered in a separate 711 tag.
AACR2 covers main and added entries in
chapter 21, "Choice Of Access Points". Rule
21.1B1 includes conferences and ad hoc
events (such as athletic contests, exhibitions,
expeditions, fairs, and festivals) in the
definition of corporate bodies. Rule 21.1B2
tells when to use the meeting name as the
main entry for the collective activity of a
conference, an expedition, or an event when
it is prominently named on the item. In all
other cases the meeting name goes in a 711 tag.
RDA provides guidelines for entry of conferences,
congresses, meetings, etc., in chapter 11 with
guidelines on how to choose the form of name in
11.2.2.5.4.
Chapter 24, "Headings For Corporate Bodies",
contains rules for constructing corporate
names in AACR2 form. Rule 24.7 covers
constructing names for conferences,
congresses, meetings, etc. Rule 24.8
covers names for exhibitions, fairs, festivals,
etc.
RDA 11.2.2.11 provides guidelines on
constructing the conference name.
Subfield a of the 711 tag usually contains
the meeting name in direct order. Older
records may contain corporate names in inverted
order or the name of a jurisdiction (country,
state, etc.). Subfield n contains the number
(1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) when the meeting is part
of a numbered series. Subfield d contains the
date of the meeting. This is usually the year,
but may contain a specific date with year,
month, and day to distinguish two meetings in
the same year. Subfield c contains the location
of the meeting. This may be a place name (a
city with country or state) or an institution
(a college, university, airport, park, etc.).
Subfield e contains the name of a meeting or
committee that is part of the larger meeting.
