Catalogers consulting LC's LOCIS or MUMS systems may be interested in knowing about how USMARC codes translate. The tables below provide equivalencies. .................. These tables map the USMARC fixed fields to equivalent MUMS fixed fields for Music, Books and Visual Materials. Just ignore the third column of each table and look at the fourth column (contains the FFD box number). ------------------------------------------------------------ Larry E.
