Definition

A note about a different physical or digital format in which the described item is available. If the publisher of the additional physical or digital form is different from the publisher of the item being cataloged, you may enter source and order number information for the additional form. The additional form may be published and/or made available for use at a repository in the additional form. When specific title and database control number information is available for the other format, enter the bibliographic information in field 776. Preference is to use the field 776 subfield ǂi Relationship information instead of the field 530 note.

Use field 530 only for notes describing different physical or digital formats. Use field 500 for information about other editions (e.g., different language versions, earlier versions, or shorter versions).

For information on punctuation, see the Punctuation section below.
