This list identifies data elements from Update no. 4 (October 2003) to the MARC 21 Formats for Bibliographic and Authority data that will become valid in LC's system no earlier than November 2004 (unless otherwise specified below).
1. NEW BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD ELEMENTS
This list is provided to assist in evaluating the impact on automated systems as these elements could be present in records issued by the Library of Congress; they do not necessarily reflect values that will be actively supplied by LC cataloging staff. These elements are fully documented in the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic data (http://aj.sunback.homes/marc/bibliographic).
