MARC Code List for Organizations (3938 words) |
 | This code list is an essential reference tool for those dealing with MARC records, for systems reporting library holdings, for many interlibrary loan systems, and for those who may be organizing cooperative projects on a regional, national, or international scale. |
| Although use of obsolete codes is permitted in the MARC records, their use in newly-created records is discouraged, as obsolete codes are often non-unique or in some way less desirable than the valid codes for organizations. |
| For Canada, the subunit for the country is followed by a subunit representing the province, and a third subunit which represents the city or town. |
| Postal code - Gurupedia (959 words) |
| Every postal service (usually having their service area defined by national borders) has a different format and placement for the postal code. |
| Though usually postal codes are assigned to geographical areas, sometimes this is not the case: special codes may be assigned to institutions with large volumes of post, such as government agencies and large commercial companies. |
| In the Åland Islands, the postal code is prefixed with "AX", not "FIN". |
