Correction of Typographical Error in new MARC source sode MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions:

In a September 30, 2009 Technical Notice on codes newly assigned to the MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions, a typographical error was made in the listing for the code for PlaceNames Online: South Australian State Gazetteer (Government of South Australia, Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure)

The code should be

"pnosa" NOT "nosa"

We apologize for the error and any problems this causes for systems in which it has been recently implemented for use in Field 034 (Coded Cartographic Mathematical Data) in Bibliographic and Authority records.
