Music Library Association Best Practices for place of capture

Record the element for audio and video recordings if readily ascertainable.

In MARC: Record as a structured description using field 518 subfield $p. Also, if feasible: Record as an identifier using field 033 (second indicator 0) subfields $b and, if appropriate, $c.

Apply the option.

In MARC: Generally do not record an access point for place of capture. In field 518 subfield $p, structure place of capture by recording data from any source in this order:

1. Studio, concert hall, etc.
2. Host institution
3. City
4. State, province, etc., if needed for clarification
5. Country, if needed for clarification

Omit unknown or unnecessary data elements. Separate data elements with commas. Do not supply a terminal period.
