Subject: [PCCLIST] 034 $2 codes can now be used

PCC folks,

I sent this announcement out to our catalogers at UW, but thought it might 
also be helpful to other NACO folks out there, so I am sharing it with you 
too:

For those of you who create name headings for geographic places 
(jurisdictions such as cities, towns, neighborhoods, provinces, etc.), 
since August we have been able to include coded geographic coordinates in 
MARC authority field 034.  LC has now defined a number of source codes 
that can be used in 034 $2, and as of November 30, we can now use these 
codes in authority records.

The list of codes can be found in the "MARC Code List: PART VII: Other Sources" 
under field 034:

If you have a need for a code for some other source, it can be requested 
from LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office.  Please note that 
for the time being, we are only putting 034 fields into geographic NAME 
authority records.  Hopefully at some point in the future we can include 
them also in subject authority records for geographic features.

If you want to see some real life examples:

no2009137030  Grayland (Wash.)

no2009137029  Tokeland (Wash.)
