270  Address (R)

All address information preceding the name of the city or town except attention information, which you enter in subfields ǂf, ǂg, and ǂh. Use also to indicate if no address information is available. Repeat subfield ǂa to indicate separations of information, such as when parts of the address preceding the name of the city or town need to appear on separate lines.

The name of the city or town.

The name of the state, province, or next larger jurisdiction, when this information is an integral part of the address. For states in the United States, use the two-character U.S. Postal Service abbreviations.

For the United States, use U.S. For other countries, use the full name instead of standard international codes (e.g., Netherlands not NL).

The alphanumeric code assigned the postal delivery area by a national postal agency. For the United States, use a five-digit ZIP or nine-digit ZIP + four code. Omit alphabetic country codes that are sometimes given with the postal code (e.g., omit D from the German code D-01437).

The title associated with the attention name (e.g., General, Dr., or Reverend) when the title precedes the name.

The attention name (e.g., the name of a person) when an item is to be sent to the attention of a particular person.

The title associated with the attention name (e.g., M.D.) when the title follows the name of the person.

One or more words denoting the kind of address found in the field (e.g., Mailing). Enter subfield ǂi first in the field.

An important service number (as opposed to an administrative telephone number in subfield ǂk). For example, hotline numbers, toll-free "800" numbers, emergency numbers, etc. For multiple numbers, enter each in a separate subfield ǂj. Hotline numbers precede other specialized telephone numbers. Enter numbers as follows: [country code]-[area/city code]-[line number]. If an extension applies, add it to the telephone number preceded by x.

A regular telephone number associated with the address and/or the public information contact person at that address. Use also for information that no telephone number is available. For multiple numbers, enter each in a separate subfield ǂk.

Input order of regular telephone numbers. For an address in which the regular and a contact person's telephone number are different, enter the telephone number associated with the address after the address information (subfields ǂi, ǂa – ǂh). Enter the telephone number associated with the contact person after the name of the contact person (subfield ǂp) and the contact person's title (subfield ǂq).

If the telephone numbers are the same, enter the number after the address.

The fax number associated with the address. For multiple numbers, enter each in a separate subfield ǂl.

The electronic number address associated with the address. For multiple addresses, enter each in a separate subfield ǂm.

The TDD or TTY numbers associated with the address. If there is both a TDD number and a TTY number (and/or more than one of each), enter each in a separate subfield ǂn.

The name of a contact person at the address. For multiple contact people, enter each name in a separate subfield ǂp . If the name is the same as the attention name (subfield ǂg), do not repeat the name in subfield ǂp.

The title of the contact person.

The hours that access to the address, contact, and/or telephone numbers is available. Use only for the hours associated with address information. If you want to enter the hours for a system or service, use field 307, not field 270 subfield ǂr. Days of the week and global time zone usually accompany hours.
