Also used by other libraries participating in UNBIS to record information that may be of interest to staff in all libraries.
UNOG, ECLAC and UNOV libraries use tag 597 to record information that is only of interest to their staff.

When an error in a document symbol is corrected by a corrigendum, the corrigendum note is recorded in tag 515 Numbering Peculiarities Note:

515 $a Corrects document symbol to: [E/ECE/]MP.EIA/2001/17.
515 $a Document symbol corrected by: [E/ECE/]ENVWA/2/Corr.1.
