The rules on this page have been approved in concept by the SCRAP committee, but the exact wording is still being adjusted.
Please use these rules. Please send any feedback to SCRAP.

Anime is neither a Library of Congress subject heading nor a genre heading. Use as appropriate for the item:

655 _0 Animated television programs ‡z Japan (form heading for anime TV shows from Japan)
655 _0 Animated films ‡z Japan (form heading for anime films from Japan)
650 _0 Animation (Cinematography) ‡z Japan (topical heading for works about anime)

It is acceptable to use the local genre heading in the CCS database:

655 _7 Anime. ‡2 local

Note that ANIME is a legitimate value for Sirsi item category 1, so if that was used, holdings could be found in a Workflows search.
