International Standard Numbers
Most DVDs have an ISBN (10 or 13 digits long), a manufacturer’s or publisher’s number
on the spine of the container, and possibly a Universal Product Code (UPC) or an
International Article Number (EAN) as well. These numbers are added to the record in
the 020, 024, and 028 fields. Always remember, of course, to follow the directions for
these fields with regards to indicators, etc.
A. ISBN
The newly implemented (2007) 13-digit ISBN is recorded in the 020 field with no
indicator values.
020 $a 1419845284
020 $a 9780323045049
B. UPC (Universal Product Code) and EAN (International Article Number)
The 13-digit EAN number (usually beginning with a 978) is recorded in the 024 field with
a first indicator of 3. The 12-digit UPC is recorded with a first indicator 1.
024 3 $a 9780025895578
024 1 $a 085391112990
C. Manufacturer's Number
The manufacturer’s number goes in field 028, with subfield (b) containing the publisher’s
name. Use 4 as the first indicator for video recordings; the second indicator is used to
specify whether a note or added entry will be generated. For specific instructions on
coding the 028 field, see MARC21 Format for Bibliographic Data.
