028  Publisher Number (R)

Definition

The formatted publisher numbers for sound recordings, videorecordings, printed music, and other music related material. Use field 500 for unformatted publisher numbers.

For the publisher number for music, the number may be:

• The issue number assigned to a recording, one side of a recording, or a packaged group of recordings.
• The matrix number, usually inscribed on the disc.
• The plate number or other publisher number assigned to a specific music score.

Use for musical and nonmusical sound recordings. Use subfield ‡b for the source of the number, publisher, or recording label name.

If the number is a standard number (e.g., ISBN, ISSN), use field 020, field 022, or field 024, as appropriate.

1st Indicator

2nd Indicator

Subfields

Groups of nonconsecutive numbers. Enter each number in a separate 028 field. Use 2nd indicator value 0 or 3. Enter the note in field 500.

For a set of Angel recordings of Satie's piano music, where each disc is sold separately, enter:

Or, use a single 028 field. Separate each number with a comma and one space and enter:

The complete songs of a composer published in four volumes by H. Litolff. Each volume bears a separate plate number, so enter:

Or, use a single 028 field. Separate each number with a comma and one space and enter:

Ranges of consecutive numbers in increments of one. Enter such numbers in one 028 field. Enter a dash (--) between the first and last numbers. The system indexes each number in the range from the first to the last in increments of one, to a maximum of 20.

In a boxed set of three Electrola recordings with the serial numbers IC 063 30107, IC 063 30108, and IC 063 30109 on the discs, enter:

If the consecutive numbers represent items that may be purchased separately, the pattern for nonconsecutive numbers may be followed, so enter:

Ranges of consecutive numbers in increments of more than one. Do not enter consecutive numbers as ranges if the increment exceeds one. The system indexes ranges in increments of one. If you enter such numbers as ranges, the system indexes them incorrectly, which may make them unretrievable. Enter such ranges in separate 028 fields.

If entered as a range, the set numbers 411-740-1, 411-741-1, and 411-742-1 (increments of 10) would be:

411-740-1--411-742-1

The system indexes them as 411-740-1, 411-740-2, etc. Therefore you must enter each number in a separate 028 field.

Boxed sets bearing set and individual numbers. Enter the set number first. Enter the individual disc numbers in parentheses in the same subfield.

If a London opera recording bears the set number, OSA 1150, and each disc bears a separate number, enter:

Or enter the individual disc numbers in separate 028 fields. A Columbia recording of the ballet music of Aaron Copland bears the set number M3 31527. Each disc also bears a separate serial number, so enter:

Variant forms of publisher number. If variant forms of a publisher number are found on a sound recording, its container, or other part, enter the numbers in separate 028 fields. Use 2nd indicator value 0 or 3 and enter the note in field 500:

If variant forms of a publisher number are found in different places on a score (cover, title page, first page of music, etc.), enter the numbers in separate 028 fields. Use 2nd indicator value 0 or 3 and enter the note in field 500:

Two or more distinct publisher's numbers. If two or more distinct publisher's numbers are on a sound recording, its container, or other part of the item, enter the numbers in separate 028 fields and in separate 500 field notes. Use 2nd indicator value 0 or 3, and enter:

A set of scores and parts that bear separate plate or publisher's numbers. Enter each number in a separate 028 field. Use 2nd indicator value 0 or 3. Enter the note in field 500:

Rare and specialized recordings. In field 028, you should enter the matrix number with the parenthetical (matrix) following each number:

Linking related items. You may use field 028 to relate reissues to their original publications or to link various formats in which a recording is released.

A recording is issued on both disc and cassette. If the container of the cassette has the issue number for the disc, you may enter the disc number in an 028 field in the record for the cassette. For such reissued recordings enter:

Use field 028 to relate reissues or reprints to their original publications. For a score reprinted by Dover, enter:

When you validate a record containing field 028 with a publisher number entered as a range, the system checks the following characteristics:

• The two initial alphabetic characters. Both must be present and identical for the first and the last numbers in the range.
• The second number. The second number must be higher than the first.
• Parentheses around the numbers. Both parentheses must be present and in the correct order.

If the number violates any of these conditions, the system rejects it and displays an error message.

Printing

1st indicator values 0 and 1. When the 1st indicator is value 0 or 1, field 028 prints as the first note preceding notes printed from the 5xx fields. The 028 note prints on all cards, regardless of your profile for 5xx notes.

1st indicator values 2, 3, 4 and 5. When the 1st indicator is value 2, 3, 4 or 5, field 028 prints as the last note following notes printed from the 5xx fields, but before field 020 and field 022/ field 222 notes. The system provides a period at the end of the note on the printed card.

Display constants. The print program supplies display constants for 1st indicator values 2 and 3. The print program does not supply display constants for 1st indicator values 0, 1, 4 and 5.

For 1st indicator value 0 or 1, the print program reverses the order of the subfield data before printing (i.e., the data in subfield ‡b precedes the data in subfield ‡a). It supplies a colon and a space between the name in subfield ‡b and the number in subfield ‡a and a period at the end of the note.

If the 1st indicator value is 0 and field 028 is:

If the 1st indicator value is 1, 2 or 3, the print program supplies a period at the end of the note:

If you want to print a note but you cannot provide it from field 028 (e.g., if multiple numbers are to print as a range), use 2nd indicator value 0 or 3 and enter the note in field 500.

If the 2nd indicator is value 1 or 3, the first 028 field prints as an added entry. The name in subfield ‡b precedes the number in subfield ‡a. The print program supplies a colon and one space following the name, and a period at the end of the number.

The heading prints on one line. The added entry card prints in the same receiving catalogs as corporate name added entries ( field 710).

In the tracing paragraph, the publisher number prints as the last added entry tracing before the title added entry tracings. The print program supplies consecutive Roman numerals for added entry tracings. Use field 710 to print additional added entries for multiple publisher numbers. Do not add these to the master record.
