The Material-Type Use attribute must be used as a search delimiter in conjunction with another
operand (i.e., used to limit a search using other Use Attribute values). Z-servers may reject a query
that only includes the Material-Type Use Attribute. Searches will use a query term
that is a 3-letter coded value
associated with a Material Type. Clients will
use the Material Type Code in a query, not the natural language text of the format.
The table identifies codes that can be used in a query. The table also
identifies sources of data in a MARC 21 record.
