The original alphabet or script of the title on the source item upon which the key title in field 222 is based. If no key title is present, the code value may relate to the title proper in field 245. This data element is mandatory for bibliographic records created or updated by centers participating in the ISSN Network. For other non-ISSN Network records it is optional. |
