Information:
The Cataloging Source 040 tag of the MARC 21
bibliographic record contains the MARC code or the
name of the organization that created the original
record, assigned the MARC content designation (tags
indicators, and subfield codes) and transcribed the
record into machine-readable form or modified an
existing MARC record. The source of these codes is
MARC Code List for Organizations available at
the Library of Congress at:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/organizations/orgshome.html
Subfield a contains the MARC code or the name of the
organization that had the item and cataloged or
described the item for the original bibliographic
record. Subfield b contains the code for the language that
the bibliographic record is cataloged in. Subfield c
contains the MARC code or the name of the organization
that translated the bibliographic information into the MARC
format. Subfield d contains the MARC code or the name
of the organization that modified, corrected, enhanced, or
made additional changes to an existing MARC 21 format
record. This subfield is repeatable and each organization
that makes changes adds their code or name in a separate
subfield d. Subfield e contains the code for the descriptive
cataloging rules used in creating the record. Records
cataloged with RDA (Resource Description and Access)
will have "rda" entered in this subfield.

interpretation of records include:
