## [600](https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/6xx/600.html) Subject added entry - Personal name (R)

Use this field to provide a subject heading for a person. Take the name from the [Library of Congress name authorities](https://authorities.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local\&PAGE=First).

**Indicators**

The first indicator changes depending on the form of name. Most of the time it will be **`1`**, for surname. If the heading begins with a forename (or is just one name), use **`0`**. If the subject is a family, use **`3`**.

The second indicator should be **`0`** to show it is a Library of Congress heading.

**Construction**

You can use subdivisions to give dates (**`|d`**), relator terms, form subdivisions (e.g. Biography) (**`|v`**) and titles (**`|t`**). See [OCLC](https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/6xx/600.html) for full list of subfields.

**Indicators**

The second indicator indicates which scheme the term is from. It should be **`0`** for Library of Congress (LOC) headings, **`2`** for Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) or **`7`** for other schemes (including Homosaurus or local terms).

The first indicator is usually **`blank`** except for when using MeSH headings, where it is used to specify the level of heading. Indicator **`1`** is used for primary terms and **`2`** for secondary terms.

**Format**

Subdivisions are often used in LOC and MeSH headings to make terms more specific, such as form (**`|v`**), time period (**`|y`**), geography (**`|z`**).

When using Homosaurus or local terms, you need to add a subfield **`|2`** at the end of the field giving the source of the term.
