Title: 700 Added Entry - Personal Name (R)
Information:

The Added Entry - Personal Name (700 tag) of the MARC 21 
bibliographic record contains a personal name heading for 
an individual who is 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 personal name heading, the 
personal name is entered in the 100 tag. The personal name in 
a 700 tag is not considered the main entry; however, access to 
the personal name is an additional way to search for the work. 
These personal names include editors, compilers, joint authors, 
illustrators, translators, and other personal names that a 
library searcher may use to search for a work. Each personal 
name is entered in a separate 700 tag. 

AACR2 covers main and added entries in chapter 21, "Choice Of Access 
Points". Chapter 22 "Headings for Persons" covers the construction 
of personal names in AACR2 form. RDA gives guidelines on recording
contributors in 20.2.1.3 and instructions on recording creators
in 19.2.1. RDA 8.5.6.1 instructs on how to record the name of a
person.

Eighteen subfields may be used in the 700 tag, some of these 
subfields are used only with the personal name portion of the 
tag and others used only with a title of a work which is associated 
with the personal name. For a personal name, subfields a (name), 
b (numbers), c (titles), d (dates), e (relator term), q (fuller 
form of the name), and j (attribution qualifier) may be used. 
Numerals to distinguish between kings, queens, popes, etc. are 
entered in subfield b; however, numerals used with other personal 
names, such as John Doe III, are entered in subfield c. A title 
such as King, Pope, Dr., Jr., etc. may be used in subfield c. 
A fuller form of the name to help distinguish between the same name 
in subfield a may be added as a qualifier, in parenthesis, in 
subfield q. Subfield d includes the years of birth and death when 
they are known or can be approximated. Subfield e contains a 
relator term. RDA Appendix I provides a list of terms (relationship
designators) for creators and contributors. The Program for 
Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) guidelines for the application of
relationship designators in Bibliographic records states that 
Appendix I relationship designators should not be used in a 
name/title access point in MARC 700-711 fields.

Subfield t contains the title of a work associated with the personal 
name in subfield a. Additional subfields that may be used to further 
define the identity of a work are: f (date of work), h (medium of 
work), k (form subdivision), m (performance medium), n (number of 
part/section of a work), o (arrangement), p (name of a part/section 
of a work), r (musical key), and s (version). 

All the subfields will not necessarily be used in every record. 
Use only the subfields needed to complete the entry.
