Definition

 A name associated with a work when the name is not controlled in an authority file or list. Use also for names that have not been formulated according to cataloging rules. The names may be of any type (e.g., personal, corporate, meeting). Record the parts of names consisting of several parts in whatever order is desired. Repeat field 720 for multiple names.

Use field 720 when one of the other access fields (e.g., the 1xx or 7xx fields) cannot be used because the level of control and/or structure of the name does not meet the requirements of the other access fields. Do not use field 720 for uncontrolled names intended to provide subject access. Use field 653 instead.
