611 SUBJECT ADDED ENTRY - MEETING NAME
|

|
|
Authority-controlled field.
When the subject of a work is a conference, meeting, workshop, seminar, symposium,
etc., the authorized form of the name as found in the UNBIS Name Authority File is
entered in 611 $a. In case of more than one conference name subject, each is
entered in a separate 611 field.
If an UNBIS authority record for a conference name does not exist, a new authority
record is created.
Examples:
611 27 $a Conference of the Parties to the
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Those Countries
Experiencing Serious Drought and/or Desertification, Particularly in Africa (4th
sess. : 2001 : Bonn). Ad Hoc Working Group
611 27 $a International Conference on AIDS
(10th : 1994 : Yokohama, Japan)
611 27 $a Interregional Expert Group Meeting
on Consumer Protection and Sustainable Consumption (1998 : São Paulo, Brazil)
611 27 $a Workshop on the Application of the Espoo
Convention in Central and Eastern Europe (2003 : Szentendre, Hungary)
For UN publications of meeting reports and proceedings, the same conference name entered in field
711 should also be entered
in field 611.
Certain modifying terms of an administrative, organizational or procedural nature
may be entered in subfield $g of 611 tags in order to create pre-coordinated conference
subjects. Every pre-coordinated conference subject is authority-controlled. The
modifying terms permit greater specificity, which is especially important
with regard to materials about UN conferences and meetings.

Modifiers used in 611 subfield $g should not be repeated in 650 tags in the same
bibliographic record. For certain types of UN documents (e.g.
documents consisting entirely of agendas,
lists of participants, calendars of meetings, rules of procedure) it is not necessary
to add any 650 tags (topical subjects) in addition to the pre-coordinated conference
subject. In other cases, additional subjects might be recorded in 650 tags, depending
on the content of the document.

611 27 $a World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination,
Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (2001 : Durban, South
Africa)
