Definition

 A personal name used as an added entry. Added entries are assigned according to various cataloging rules to give access to the bibliographic record from personal name headings which may not be more appropriately assigned as field 600 (Subject Added Entry–Personal Name) or field 800 (Series Added Entry–Personal Name). Use for the following types of personal names:
  • Names of persons capable of authorship
  • Phrases having the structure of forenames or surnames. Use this type of entry if a phrase characterizes an author and is the only clue to the author's identity
  • Names of families

1st Indicator

 Type of personal name entry element. The form of name. These values could be used to facilitate card filing arrangements. However, OCLC does not differentiate among forms of name for sorting cards.

AACR2 prescribes that you not use names of families as main or added entries ( field 100, field 700 and field 800). You may, however, use names of families as subject entries ( field 600).

Use also for current cataloging of archival collections cataloged according to Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts.

0 Forename. Use for the following types of names:
  • Names structured as forenames (direct order)
    700 0 Father Divine.
  • Names that consist of initials in direct order
    700 0 R. M. B.
  • Characterizing phrases in direct order
    700 0 Author of Allons au ciel.
  • If a forename/surname status is in doubt, treat the name as a forename
    700 0 Ram Gopal.
1 Surname. Use for the following types of names:
  • Names (real or pseudonyms) having any inverted order
    700 1 Chiang, Kai-shek.
  • Names known to be surnames but lacking forenames
    700 1 Stendhal.
  • Names consisting of multiple entry elements that include articles or prepositions (e.g., De, La or Van)
    700 1 De la Mare, Walter
  • Names of persons known under sobriquets and nicknames that have the structure of surnames
    700 1 Other, A. N.
3 Family name. Use for the name of a family, clan, dynasty, house or other such group. The name may be constructed in direct or inverted order.
700 3 Norfolk, Dukes of

2nd Indicator

 Type of added entry. The type of added entry. The values distinguish between no information provided and an analytical entry. These indicators could be used to facilitate card filing arrangements. However, OCLC does not differentiate among types of added entries for sorting cards.
blank character No information provided. Either the added entry is not for an analytic or no information is provided as to whether the added entry is for an analytic.
