Information:
The 028 - Publisher Number tag is used to record the
numbers assigned by the publishers of scores, sheet
music, sound recordings, and video recordings. This
information will be helpful to a library user looking
for an individual item or a specific take of a sound
recording. This information may also be useful to the
library when replacing or reordering the item.
The first indicator specifies the type of publisher
number.
First indicator 0 means an issue number is included.
These are the numbers found on the label of a sound
disc or cassette. The publisher may also assign an
issue number to a set of recordings as well as to the
individual discs or cassettes in the set.
First indicator 1 is used for a matrix number. This is
the number assigned to the master from which the
recording was made. This number was often pressed into
the plastic of a sound disc, or appeared in
parentheses under the issue number on the label. This
number is useful when the artist made more than one
recording of a particular song.
First indicator 2 is used for the plate number of
scores and sheet music.
First indicator 3 is used for any other type of music
number other than an issue, matrix or plate number. It
was used for the videorecording number in older
records, before indicator 4 was defined.
First indicator 4 is used for the publisher numbers
found on video recordings.
First indicator 5 is used for a publisher number that
does not fit in any of the other indicator categories
(i.e. it is not a publisher number for sound
recordings, music or a videorecording).
The second indicator determines whether the publisher
number is displayed as a note on the OPAC or is
indexed as an added entry. How these actually work
will depend on the capabilities of the OPAC
software. On systems that can index the publisher
number, using indicators 1 and 3 will allow library
users to search by the publisher number.
The 028 tag contains three subfields. Subfield a
contains the publisher number itself. The source of
the publisher number is recorded in subfield b. This
will usually be the name of the publisher listed on
the label of the item. Qualifying information is entered
in subfield q.
