NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

This field is used for entering variant forms of those subject headings that are not linked to authority records. Enter the forms that differ from the form in field 601. The search is simultaneously performed through fields 601 and 961.

The subfield 6 – Linking data must always be filled in, since it is used to link all forms of a subject heading (see examples 1, 2). Field 601 is linked to a corresponding field 961 by entering the same number (01–99) in subfield 6 of both fields. If more than one field 961 corresponds to a field 601, enter the same number in subfield 6 of all corresponding 961 fields.
