100 and 700 on a bib record are for names of responsibilities. 100 is for main author; 700(s) are for secondary authors.

• Use the Authority form (or established form) in the 100 and 700. But transcribe the name according to piece in 245.
• If there is 100 field, then the 1st indicator of 245 is 1; If there’s no 100 field, then, it is 0.

700 (see above)

245 is for “title and statement of responsibilities.”

• For, our microform project, you will always have a $h [microform]
• Pay attention to the 1st indicator (see under 100); the 2nd indicator is for “non-filing characters” and for us, it is usually 0.
• Study Varieties in titles and statement of responsibilities.
• About “sub title”. Use $b for sub title. It can be either before or after the $h, depends.
• Study Title proper and varying form of title.
