AACR2 (1976) and AACR2R (1988) use format to mean a “particular physical presentation of an item”
but the term does not appear in AACR (1967, 1970). *

“Type” format
• Based on the MARC Leader positions 06/07.
• Not all “types” are represented by default.
• Although there are additional “types” these 12 will likely cover about 99% of your collection.
• Not very user-friendly.
![Page 44: Format Designation in MARC Records](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061517/56815ba9550346895dc9aa4e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Based on the 007 field, but only on the first position – so missing a lot of granularity.
• Not all possible “formats” are represented.
• Probably roughly 1/3 of your collection will be included in the search if this is used as a limit.

Variable fields tend to be… well, variableA keyword search in UT Arlington’s WebVoyage OPAC for "dvd videorecording" (sans quote marks) yielded these 245 h variations -- within the first 10 search results:
Human readable, and useful for retrieval via keyword searching. However non-normalized variable fields are problematic for indexing purposes and therefore for utilization in limits and facets.

When MARC records are imported into Voyager, these are the values
that get indexed as “format”.

Terms like this also get indexed.
However (in Voyager), they get indexed as
keywords, not as formats.

MARC 006 Additional Material Characteristics(Repeatable field)
Because the 008 is not repeatable and is dependent on the Leader 06 and 07 for its definition, only one 008 can be included in a record…. The 006 field was created, as part of “format integration”, to record “additional aspects of an item”. [1]

• Format data exists in MARC variable fields as well as control fields
