A name may be used as a main, added, subject added or series added entry. For example, “Dickens, Charles, 1812-1870” can be used as a main (100), subject (600) or series (800) entry in a bibliographic record.

A subject may be used only as a subject added entry. For example, “Australian Literature” can only be used as a subject added entry (650) in a bibliographic record.

The record use is coded into the 008 field and shown against “codes” in the full display for example:

Codes: Use as main or added entry : Not appropriate

       Use as subject added entry : Appropriate

       Use as series added entry : Not appropriate
