MARC Coding of DDC for Subject Retrieval.

Wajenberg, Arnold S.

Information Technology and Libraries, v2 n3 p246-51 Sep 1983

Recommends an expansion of MARC codes for decimal class numbers to enhance automated subject retrieval. Five values for a second indicator and two new subfields are suggested for encoding hierarchical relationships among decimal class numbers. Additional subfields are suggested to enhance retrieval through analysis of synthesized numbers in automated databases. (Author/EJS)
