Definition | The copyright registration number or legal deposit number of items acquired by copyright deposit or legal deposit. The agency assigning the number is always given with the copyright or legal deposit number. Repeat the field when more than one agency has assigned a copyright or legal deposit number. Copyright numbers have occasionally been added to LC printed cards. LC prints them in the lower left corner, below the LC legend. If you are transcribing LC copy, do not enter the copyright number in field 017 or as a note. Do not treat such records as modified. MRec should be blank unless other modifications have been made. |
