Authority-controlled field.
For non-UN publications, see also the guidelines for tag
100.
When a personal name is identified in a statement of responsibility in the
Title (245 $c)
(or, in case of UN publication, in General Note
500), the authority-controlled name as found in
the UNBIS Name Authority File is entered in 700 $a. If an UNBIS authority record for a
personal name does not exist, a new authority record is created.
Multiple authors may be recorded in separate 700 fields.
For UN documents, the cataloguing «rule of three»
is generally not applied and the abbreviation «[et al.]» is not used in
recording the statement of responsibility (245 $c). All personal
names in the statement of responsibility are recorded in 700 fields. [For UN materials other than documents, such as
publications and co-published materials, the cataloguing «rule of three» may
be applied].
In recording multiple 700 fields, it is desirable to follow the order
in which they appear in the statement of responsibility, or in alphabetical
order for lists of sponsors of draft resolutions/decisions.
Field 100 is not used for author main entry, since the main entry for UN
documents is considered to be the document symbol and series symbol
(field 191 $ab).
Example:
191 $a E/CN.4/Sub.2/2003/L.4
$b E/CN.4/Sub.2/
$c 55
245 $c Mr. Bengoa, Mr. Chen Shiqiu, Mr. Dos Santos Alves, Mr. Pinheiro
700 1_ $a Alves, Rui Baltazar dos Santos
700 1_ $a Bengoa, José
700 1_ $a Chen, Shiqiu
700 1_ $a Pinheiro, Paulo Sérgio de M.S.
For certain types of UN documents of an administrative nature, such as administrative
circulars in the ST/IC/ document series, the institutional office takes precedence
over the personal name of the office-holder and it is only necessary to record the
710 corporate name appearing in the
statement of responsibility, not the 700 personal
name.
Example:
191 $a ST/IC/Geneva/2003/11
$b ST/IC/Geneva/
245 $c Bertrand Juppin de Fondaumière, Director, Division of Administration
710 2_ $a UN Office at Geneva. Division of Administration. Director
