- History
- The Library
of Congress started using the ($v) subfield for form subdivisions
in the (6XX) Subject Access Fields in February 1999.
- LC continued to use
($x) subfield for topical subdivisions
- Local Past Practices
- In 1999
when LC started using ($v) form subdivision Horizon was not capable
of handling this subfield
- Therefore the import
sources were changed so that the form subdivisions ($v) subfield
were changed to ($x) subfield, this was a temporary work around
until the problem with ($v) form subdivision was resolved
- There was a problem
in the implementation of ($v) subfield for form subdivisions in
the last version of Horizon (7.2)
- In the current version
of Horizon (7.3) extensive testing was performed and the problem
with implementing ($v) was resolved, however this subfield could
not be enabled until BA relink utility was run on the catalogue
- BA relink utility
was run in December 2004, this re-linked bibliographic and authority
records and created new authorities for records that could not
be linked
- Since December 2004
Horizon has been ($v) enabled
- Local Current Practices
- As of
the end of February 2005 the form subdivision ($v) is indexed
- As of March 23, 2005,
the import sources will be changed so that the form subdivision
($v) will not be changed to the topical subdivision ($x) on import
of records. Action: Karen Foster will change the import sources
as of March 23, 2005.

- Using Form Subdivisions
- Form subdivisions
coded in the ($v) subfield in 6XX fields Subject Access Fields
describe the format of the item, not the subject matter of the
item
- Topical subdivisions
($x) subfield in 6XX fields Subject Access Fields are used to
describe the subject matter of the item.
- The order for using
multiple subdivisions is described in the Subject Cataloguing
Manual: Subject Headings H 1075 sec. 2 The following is an example
of one of the order that may be used for multiple subdivisions:
[topical subdivision ($x)]-[chronological subdivision ($y)] - [form
subdivision ($v)]
- Subject Cataloguing
Manual: Subject Headings, Free Floating Subdivisions H 1095 "Most
form subdivisions coded $v in the list may also be used as topical
subdivisions coded $x when assigned to works about the form (see
Subject Cataloguing Manual: Subject Headings H 1075 sec. 1d)."

- The following
list of form subdivisions is not maintained, for an up-to-date
list of form subdivisions see Subject Cataloguing Manual: Subject
