AB - LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY LIBRARY In order to fulfil the original aims of MINICS to provide a record structure hospitable to data describing all types of media  monographs, series, serials, etc.  the data fields are being redefined and a new feature incorporated to encode the significance of the contents of fields. The three levels of record  serialseries, monograph or individual item, and analytical are being retained and tags are still two digits. The MINICS record, based on MARC, is made up of a fixed length leader, a variable length directory and variable length data fields. The data fields fall into four categories control elements, such as accession number, ISSN, ISBN, physical medium code cataloguing data linking elements, such as former and later title and stock maintenance elements, such as frequency of publication, supplier, binding details. A range of field indicators has been defined which, when applied after a tag, show the significance of the data, e.g. whether a main or added heading is required, or distinguish data of a subsidiary nature. These indicators also act as dividers between repeated uses of a field.
