Editing Library of Congress copy (DLC)
...
Verify and edit the variable fields:
010.
LC control number
020.
ISBN number: the number on the cover of the book takes precedence over the one on the title page verso. If it is a dual publication, there should be a field for each ISBN number. There may be separate ISBNs (both 10 & 13-digit versions) for: dual publishing houses, hardback & paperback, as well as E-books. In some instances the 10-digit ISBN will appear on both book cover and t.p. verso, whereas the 13-digit ISBN will only appear on the cover. Some libraries continue to place 13-digit ISBNs in an 024 field, with a first indicator of 3. These should be changed to 020 (no indicator).

ISSN number: standard number for serial (may appear on front or back cover, masthead, title page verso, etc.).

Main entry – Uniform title - title by which a work is identified for cataloging purposes when the work has appeared under varying titles. When the work is a translation add a subfield |l with the language of the translation. When the main entry is an author (100, 110, or 111 field), use field 240 for the uniform title.
Filing indicators – Check filing indicator, whenever present, for accuracy. The first indicator in field 130 shows the number of nonfiling characters. The number of nonfiling characters is equal to the number of characters in the article, plus spaces, punctuation, and diacritics that precede the first significant word. If the title does not begin with an article, the first indicator is 0. Current practice is to enter a uniform title without articles and use 0.
