What are the MARC 670 fields for?

• They are the Source Data Fields. They provide information of where the name(s) come from and additional information about the person.

• That's where you'd get the authorized form of the person's name to be used in a bib record.

• They are subject headings of resources.

• Nothing. They do not contain any useful information.

You are searching the LC Authorities database for a name authority record for a creator you have identified. What do you do if there are more than one names returned in your search?

• Use the authorized access point from the first record of your hit list.

• Use the authorized access point from a record you randomly picked.

• Give up and leave the MARC 100 field of your bib record empty as you cannot determine which name to use.

• Open each name authority record. Compare the person's info in each name authority record against the person's info on the resource. Then use the authorized access point from the record with matching info.
