Visual materials definition of field 008/18-34 is used when Leader/06 (Type of record) contains code g (Projected medium), code k (Two-dimensional nonprojectable graphic, code o (Kit), or code r (Three-dimensional artifact or naturally occurring object). Field 008 positions 01-17 and 35-39 are defined the same in all 008 fields and are described in the 008-All materials section.
Field 008/18-34 correspond to equivalent positionally defined data elements in field 006/01-17 when field 006/00 (Form of material) contains code g, k, o, or r . Details about specific codes defined for the equivalent character positions in field 006 and 008 for visual materials are provided in the Guidelines for Applying Content Designators section of 008-Visual materials only.

One-character alphabetic code that indicates whether the item is published or produced by or for an international, provincial, national, state, or local government agency, or by any subdivision of such a body, and, if so, the jurisdictional level of the agency.
Government bodies and all their subdivisions are treated as government bodies regardless of how they may be entered as headings (i.e., entered under jurisdiction or not). In the bibliographic record, the body does not have to be a main or added entry, but it should be named as publisher, etc. in the publication, distribution, etc. area, or have caused the item to be published (usually inferred when the governmental body is responsible for the content of the work). When in doubt, treat the item as a government publication.

Capitalization - Alphabetic codes are input in lowercase.
Field length - Field 008 should always consist of forty (40) character positions.
In 1984, 008/18-20 (Length) was redefined to limit its use to motion pictures and videorecordings. Code nnn (Not applicable) was defined at that time. Records created prior to that change may contain the number of slides, filmstrip frames, or transparencies in 008/18-20.
Defined codes were: # (Not in LC), a (In LC, print note), b (In LC, do not print note), u (Unknown).
Prior to 1972, the definitions of codes f and g were reversed: f (General), g (Specialized).
Prior to 1980, character positions 23-27 were positionally defined (23, Stills; 24, Script material; 25, Posters; 26, Press books; and 27, Other). Each position contained a status code 0 (No) or 1 (Yes) to indicate the absence or presence of the type of material. In 1980, specific codes were defined for types of accompanying material and 008/23-27 were restructured to contain as many as five codes.
Character positions 23-27 were made obsolete in 1997. The defined codes were: # (No accompanying matter), l (Stills), m (Script material), o (Posters), p (Pressbooks), q (Lobby cards), r (Instructional materials), s (Music), z (Other).
Defined codes were: # (None of the following), a (Microfilm); b (Microfiche); c (Microopaque). Code z (Other) was obsolete.
Defined codes were: # (No accompanying material); a (Language material-printed); c (Music-printed); d (Diorama); e (Map-printed); f (Filmstrip); g (Game); h (Microform); i (Sound recording-non-musical); j (Sound recording-musical); k (Picture); l (Machine-readable data file); m (Motion picture); n (Chart); o (Flash card); p (Microscope slide); q (Model); r (Realia); s (Slide); t (Transparency); v (Videorecording); z (Other).
Prior to 2015, university press publications were included as examples of government publications.
Prior to 1979, an undetermined level was identified by code n; currently code o is used.
Defined codes were: 0 (Main entry not in body of entry), 1 (Main entry in body of entry).
Code was made obsolete when code v (Videotape) was redefined to include any videorecording.
Codes defined for this character position were applicable only to motion pictures until the definition was expanded to include videorecordings in 1980. At that time code n was defined for items other than motion pictures and videorecordings and # was made obsolete.
