The field 670 note records in subfield $a, the source of information from which the heading derives, the document symbol or title and date of publication or the source of information obtained verbally. If the information is  buried within the publication, the page or paragraph number is added. If the citation is to a website, include the date on which the website was viewed. It is customary to abbreviate familiar words, 'S-G', 'Dir.', 'org.', 'est.', 'auth.' etc.

Subfield $b may be used to record information about the 1XX heading found in the source. 

Use subfield $u to record the URL of a website from which information is obtained. It is recommended that URLs of websites likely to change should not be recorded, such as temporary sites for small working groups or meetings. 

Each additional source of information is recorded in a separate 670 note. For names of non-UN organizations or governmental bodies, it is recommended to record an additional field 670 giving an authoritative source outside the document or publication such as the website of the organization or government department, Yearbook of International Organizations, , or .

If the heading has been verified in the , this should be noted using the abbreviation "LC name auth.". If the LC established heading differs from the heading that is chosen for UNBIS, record the LC form as a cross-reference in field 4XX subfield $a, with the LC source code DLC in field 4XX subfield $5. If, however, the LC form differs only by the addition of dates to a personal name, record that form in field 670 subfield $b.
