Information:
The Main Entry-Meeting Name (111 tag) of the MARC bibliographic
record contains a name heading for the conference, exhibition,
expedition or other type of event responsible for the work.
AACR2 covers main and added entries in chapter 21, "Choice Of
Access Points" while RDA covers these in Chapter 19 "Persons,
Families, and Corporate Bodies Associated With a Work." The
purpose of the main entry is to establish the form in which
a work is to be uniformly cited. Using a main entry heading will
make it easier for a library user to find an item listed in a
bibliography or footnote.
In each cataloging record one access point is chosen as the main
entry heading. Main entry headings appear not only in a 111 tag
(meeting name), but also in the 100 tag (personal name), the 110
tag (corporate name) or the 130 tag (uniform title). Meeting name
headings not used as the main entry appear in the 711 tag.
Many rules in AACR2 cover the choice of headings for main entry-
meeting name. 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
directs us 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. RDA 19.2.1.1.1 provides
guidelines for recording a corporate body when it is considered
to be the creator of a work. This guideline instructs to record
the corporate body for works that report the collective activity
of a conference, expedition, or an event such as fairs, festivals,
and exhibitions.
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 and the
like. Rule 24.8 covers names for exhibitions, fairs, festivals and
the like. Chapter 11 in RDA provides various guidelines on how to
record names of corporate bodies which include conferences,
expeditions, and events.
Subfield a of the 111 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
c contains the location of the meeting. This can be a place name (a
city with country or state) or an institution (a college, university,
airport, park, etc.). Subfield d contains the date of the meeting.
This is usually the year, but it may be a specific date including year,
month and day to distinguish between two meetings in the same year.
Subfield e contains the name of a meeting or committee that is part
of the larger meeting. Subfield n contains the number (1st, 2nd, 3rd,
etc.) when the meeting is part of a numbered series.
