Definition

 
BKS, MAP, 006

Whether the work has an index, location index, or gazetteer to its own contents.

BKS

A one-character numeric code that indicates whether or not an item contains an index to its own contents. Information for this data element is derived from mention of an index in another part of the bibliographic record (e.g., in the title or in a note).

MAP

A one-character numeric code that indicates whether or not an item or accompanying material contains an index of place names or gazetteer. Information for this data element is derived from mention of an index or gazetteer in other parts of the bibliographic record (e.g., in the title or in a note). A map index to adjoining sheets is not considered an index when coding this position. This data element refers only to gazetteers, place name indexes, etc. Graphic indexes such as index maps are not coded.
