MARC Mapping to MODS

January 2003

This mapping gives equivalencies between MARC and MODS, but is not intended to be a crosswalk that allows for bi-directional conversions without some loss of data. Where multiple MARC elements are indicated for a single MODS element, if converted to MODS and then converted back to MARC, some specificity would be lost, since some elements can not be converted back to the same element from which they originated. This document is intended for use in converting MARC to MODS.

Where multiple subfields are specified or implied, data will be concatenated with a space substituted for the subfield delimiter and subfield code. Where multiple fields are indicated, each will be a separate instance of the element (with subfields concatenated).
