Hi PCC:
Certainly, any additions to/of 670 fields would be positive
contributions.
It would help if responses concerning other fields were to
be labeled specifically as to perspective, i.e.:
"The Rules" (which rules?);
Practicality (covering all the bases re. search strategies);
Practicality (the budget);
Practicality (e.g., operation of AR in certain catalogs);
Logic (what makes the most sense, even if "the rules" do not
make sense);
"What we do locally" (without regard to the rules, etc.);
"Catalogers' prerogative";
Critiques of "The Rules".
