Definition

A name access point that has not been formulated according to recognized cataloging instructions. It is used primarily for names programmatically mapped from non-MARC formats such as Dublin Core or ONIX. Names may be of any type (e.g., personal, family, corporate, meeting). Record the parts of names consisting of several parts in whatever order is desired. Repeat field 720 for multiple names.

Do not use field 720 for AACR2 or RDA cataloging.

Use field 720 when a name is mapped from a non-MARC format that does not adequately differentiate among types of name access points, e.g. personal, family, corporate, or meeting. Do not use field 720 for names intended to provide subject access. Use field 653 instead.
