The second indicator specifies the reason for the expansion of the title. In the title, you can replace the initials or acronyms with the words they represent (see examples 2, 7), write out the numerals in full (see examples 4, 9, 10, 11), write the abbreviated words in full (see examples 1, 6) or expand other symbols, such as replace the "&" character with the word "and" or "et" (see examples 3, 5, 8). If a combination of conditions applies, use the higher value of the second indicator (see examples 3, 5). Use value "3" if the particular condition is unknown.
The field is used for entering the expanded form of any title proper or in the case of continuing resources key title (see examples 2, 3, 4). The expanded titles are searchable, and those with value "1" of the first indicator are also used for sorting titles in alphabetical lists, e.g. in bibliography indexes.
