page 273). However, as described in the following sections, authority records
have a few special considerations when it comes to fixed-length tags and
crossĆreference creation.
Authority fixed-length tags
These authority fixed-length tags are slightly different than the bibliographic tags
with the same names.
Leader tag
The Leader contains a record's processing data. Cataloging provides most of this
information automatically. It usually isn't necessary, but you can change the
default codes for record status and encoding level.
To change the Leader, doubleĆclick in the Leader data, or choose Tag | Edit
Leader. The MARC Leader Codes dialog appears:
Select the appropriate
values from the position
lists, and click OK.
008 tag
The 008 tag provides coded information about the entire record and about certain
aspects of the 1XX heading and 4XX/5XX tracing fields. Normally, the 008 tag
won't require any modification. Cataloging uses the record's template to supply
the most common settings.
