This change is being considered by the SCRAP committee.
Do NOT follow this change. Please send any feedback to SCRAP.

For thesauri in other languages, consult the Data Services Librarian.

Every fully cataloged record in the CCS database must have at least one LCSH heading, or at least one 655 heading if no 600-651 headings apply.

Every record for a single work of prose fiction in the CCS database must have at least one LCSH heading AND any 655 headings that are appropriate; every record for a textual collection in the CCS database must have at least one 655 heading.

Always add a 655 field for concepts that are expressed in 6XX ‡v, when one is authorized. Continue using 6XX ‡v.

Be as specific as possible (e.g. ‡v Fiction --> 655 Science fiction; use of specific 655 Pop-up books & 655 Textured books instead of general 655 Toy and movable books)

Use 650 ‡v Specimens only for realia.
