You can catalog anything

 * a cat

=LANGUAGE OF MARC – governed by the rules of AACR2 and RDA=
 * ** TAG – 3 digit number assigned to each field **
 * ** INDICATOR – two characters that follow each tag in a MARC record – computer instruction **
 * whether a field should be indexed (traced/searchable)
 * whether a field should be displayed (printed)
 * whether any characters at the beginning of the field should be skipped in indexing (nonfiling characters)
 * whether a special label should be displayed (printed) for the field
 * ==DELIMITER – character or symbol in front of each subfield, usually $==
 * ==SUBFIELD CODE – alphabetical indicator immediately after limited – type of information in each subfield – for example, in tag 245==
 * $a (title)
 * $b (subtitle)
 * $c (statement of responsibility: main persons responsible for the intellectual content of a work)

VIEW
> > Finally, we will talk about the fact that AACR2 has been replaced by RDA but most records (and our assignments) will be a combination of the two and the fields that you will be responsible for in order to make your records reflect the new RDA rules for cataloging.
 * Lorenz, Andrea. "FRBR Simplified." @https://youtu.be/LPBpP0wbWTg This is the theory behind the change in the cataloging rules known as RDA - Resource Description and Access which is a replacement for AACR2 - Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, version 2.
