Fields 760-787: Information that identifies other related bibliographic items. Each of the linking entry fields specifies a different relationship between the target item described by the record and a related item. These relationships fall into three classes: 1) related items that assist the user in continuing to search but are not physically required to obtain the target item (e.g., former entries for continuing resources, translations of the target item); 2) related items that have to be obtained physically in order to use the target item (e.g., the host item for a component part: a journal issue containing a specific article); 3) related items that are constituent units of a larger whole (e.g., the individual photographs contained in a visual material collection). The linking entry fields are designed to generate a note in a display of the record in which they appear. They can also provide machine linkage between the bibliographic record for the target item and the bibliographic record for the related item, if the related item is covered by a separate record; and/or facilitate indexing.
Field 788: A relationship to a bibliographic description in a different language, where each bibliographic description describes the same bibliographic item. Note that the 788 field is not to be used to express relationships between bibliographic items that are normally expressed by one of the 760-787 linking entry fields.
