International Agencies

• For monographic materials, the Table G number for an international agency is used only when an international agency is given as a subject added entry and there are no geographic subjects. Usually (but not always) the agency will be the main entry

• When an international agency given as the subject does not have a specific Table G number, "M1" is used

• Do not use the Table G number for the geographic location of the agency

• The Table G number of the parent body may be used for subordinate sections of the international agency

• Examples:
  • A work on the World Bank strategy for health
    • 060 00 $a W 84 M1
    • 610 22 $a World Bank.
    • 650 12 $a Health Planning
  • [No Table G number is available for the World Bank]
    
    
  • A work on the World Bank strategy for health in East Asia
    • 060 00 $a W 84 JA1
    • 610 22 $a World Bank.
    • 650 12 $a Health Planning
    • 651  2 $a Far East
  • [Since there is a geographic subject in the record, the Table G number for Far East is used, and not the number for the World Bank]
