Ivan Mihel:

The newly-assigned MARC organization code you requested is:

HR-ZaFF for Filozofski fakultet u Zagrebu 


***************************************************************

WHAT IS A MARC ORGANIZATION CODE FOR?

MARC organization codes are assigned for use in Machine-Readable
Cataloging (MARC) records in fields 003 (Control Number
Identifier), 040 (Cataloging Source), and 852 (Location).  These
MARC fields require a code to identify whose control number
is in the record, who created/input the cataloging information,
and who holds a copy of the item described in the bibliographic
record.  Some library systems can generate your organization code
in these MARC fields automatically if you were able to supply
the code to the system during installation.  The MARC code in
field 003 can be changed if your MARC records are ever moved
to another organization's library system.  The MARC codes in
field 040 subfield $a (Original cataloging agency) and subfield
$c (Transcribing agency) should not.  If after a MARC record has
been created some other organization makes a change to it, their
MARC code is put in field 040 subfield $d (Modifying agency).
You may have occasion to put your own MARC code in field 040
subfield $d as well, if you modify your own record.

Each organization code assigned is unique whether it is
recorded using all uppercase letters, all lowercase letters,
or a combination, as may be exemplified in your code(s).  We
recommend you record your code(s) using the same style letters
(upper or lower case) as given in this confirmation message.

Each new code and information about the organization it represents
will be published in the next edition of "MARC Code List for
Organizations".  This information will be available online after 
the next update to the MARC Organization Code database which
is available at:

http://www.loc.gov/marc/organizations/ 

The database is refreshed weekly to add new codes.
Any questions about code assignments or names/addresses should be
referred to the Network Development and MARC Standards Office
(contact information given below).
