Morris, Series authority records can exist either as work- or expression-level records. This is an expression-level record (it represents a particular expression of Erasmus’s complete works, the Amsterdam edition, as you noted). 380 is for “Form of work”; there isn’t an equivalent MARC field for “Form of expression”, nor is there an RDA element for this. So when we’re identifying a series like this one that is an expression, we record the fact that it’s a series using the RDA “Other distinguishing characteristic of expression” element, which is coded in MARC 381. (This is true of any series—if the record represents a work it’s recorded in 380; if the record represents an expression it’s recorded in 381). I know it seems a little odd; most series can have a series authority record at the work level, but in the case of series like this that are the complete works of somebody the “work” is the complete works (which would have the AAP Erasmus, Desiderius, ǂd -1536. ǂt Works), but the aggregate “work” at that level isn’t a series. Someone from LC will have to comment on whether or not subfield $b should precede the year in the call number in 050. Bob Robert L.

Shouldn’t the publication year in the 050 field be recorded in a subfield $b? 2. I typically see series format information in the 380 field. For this record, the fields were changed to 381. Is this a new practice? Thanks in advance, Morris Levy [The Ohio State University] Morris S.
