At the request of publishers, LC has started including these BISAC codes in the MARC 084 field and also converting these codes into their textual equivalents, which are given in the 650 field with the second indicator value set to "7" (Source specified in subfield $2) and "bisacsh" in subfield $2. There are usually one code and one subject string.[1]
