* Generally, the information must be provided in French. If a record is derived from an original English record, fields 670 and 675 can remain in English but it must be ensured that the information recorded in other fields is in French. It is understood that all information in English will not necessarily have an equivalent in French. This would be the case, for example, for terms belonging to a controlled vocabulary for which there is no French version. In this case, the information must be deleted.

The content of all 665 fields in LAC and BAnQ records has been placed in field 678. It is possible that the original field 665 contained instructions about the access point to use as an author or as a subject heading (see the example under field 665 above). Delete these instructions in field 678 if they have been retained. Consider adding a 667 note on the use of the access point as a subject heading, if applicable.

If the record was modified after having been migrated, it is necessary to consult the record history file to determine who originally added the 678 field.

 

If field 678 is not justified and its contents are not appropriate for a biographical or historial note, do not retain field 678 except if an appropriate note can be written with the information on hand. Note that field 678 is optional. If the contents of the field must be retained because they are not found anywhere else in the record, transfer them to a 670 note citing the the internal file of the institution who supplied the 678 field.
