MARC is an acronym for "MAchine-Readable Cataloging." This is the format in which bibliographic records are created or exported into individual libraries. In other words, the format used by library staff who catalog books. In this case the numbers in the left column represent different fields, the most imp0rtant being:020 = ISBN number
050 or 090 = call number
100 = author
110 = corporate author
111 = conference or congress (if book is a collection of conference papers, for example
245 = title and author or editor
260 = publishing information
300 = physical description of the item
500 = notes of significance about this item
504 = notes here if bibliographic references and index are included.
600, 610 and 650 = subject headings
700 = co-author or editor
710 = corporate body which either sponsored or issued the item.
What I describe here is for non-fictional works. Literature -- poems, novels, short stories, etc. -- normally do not include subject headings, unless they are literary works focused on a historical topic, but otherwise include all the fields listed above.
