Creating a Subject Heading + Subdivision record

Please make a brief Subject Heading + Subdivision record for all unauthorized headings on records you catalog or update in Unicorn. (This applies only to free-floating or geographic subdivisions that we would not have established in NOTIS but are establishing in Unicorn for the unauthorized heading to work correctly.)

1. Check the authority file for the record.
2. If record not found follow the script to Create or Duplicate the record. (I have found that at times it is faster to Duplicate the record: (example: you have the record Utah|x History, and you are creating a record for Utah |x History |x Bibliography.)
3. Fixed Fields only the following need to be checked:
1. DIR/IND Geographic subdivision must be decided from the last subdivision (examples: Crime |v Poetry would be blank because Poetry can not be subdivided Geographically, however Crime |z United States would be "n" because United State it is not applicable, and Crime |x Education would be an "i" because Education can be subdivided geographically.)
2. AUTHTYP will be an "f" (Established heading and subdivision)
3. NAME_US will be a "b"
4. SUBJ_US will be a "a"
5. SER_US will be a "b"
4. Variable fields you must have:
1. Add 040 field with UPB|cUPB
2. Add a 1xx field with the heading you are creating
3. Add 690 with your initials, the date (9-23-98) (Required)
1. To the 690 field add the resource used to establish the record.
1. AACR2
2. SCM (Subject Cataloging Manual)
3. Free (Free-Floating Subdivisions: An Alphabetical Index)
4. d/i (using the D/I field of the basic record)
5. Record number of a record (when you use another record to establish the heading)
6. Genre/form (no need to list in 690 because information is already in 1xx field.)
7. Other
