What this authority record is telling you is that Anime is NOT a valid
subject heading. You may not/should not assign Anime as a 650 subject
heading in bibliographic records. Instead, you have to use headings for
specific types of animated media subdivided by Japan, e.g. Animated
films--Japan.
The 260 field translates as USE in the printed LCSH. This is a reference
record because the term Anime refers you to a group or class of other
headings that you have to use instead. Other animated media that might be
used include Animated television programs--Japan and Animated
videos--Japan.
Reference records are explained in the Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject
Headings in instruction sheet H 374. There is also information about this
in the SACO Participants' Manual that might be helpful.
