NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

This field contains notes relating to data found in the 4XX fields. Data in the 4XX field may be used to indicate the relationship between the item being recorded and the item linked to it. If the note that would be printed from 4XX fields would not adequately indicate the relationship and the item that is related, a note can be entered in field 311 (and the indicator of the corresponding 4XX field is set to "0" – Do not make a note). In particular, specific relationships between the item being catalogued and another item referred in field 488 can be entered in this field. If more than one note is to be recorded, each is entered in a repeated field 311.
