Tony,

So you think of things cataloging in the shower also, huh? (smile) 680 actually exists and, I guess, has for quite some time. We just seem not to be using it. I'd just like to use it (smile, smile). And get our vendor to display it to the public, which actually may be an option already. We have an Innopac system, so I'll be investigating that shortly. --E.R.

As a purely personal matter of opinion, and not at all reflecting the
position of the Library of Congress on this matter, I will share with you
the thought that struck me this morning, in the shower:

If information is relevant to the heading, it goes into a 670 field; if
it's not relevant to the heading, it goes into a 675 field.

To paraphrase Judy Kuhagen speaking about another NAR-related matter,
introducing yet another field and set of tagging into NAR production is
not cataloging simplification.
