Use the authority record for the place as appropriate for the date of his birth. These are attributes, not subjects. --Adam ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Adam L.

We want to include a 370 for his place of birth which was Danzig (Germany). The record for Danzig (Germany) has a 667 which states SUBJECT USAGE: This heading is not valid for use as a subject.

Is place of birth treated like a subject? > > Thanks, > > Barbara > > __________________________________________________ > Barbara Bushman > Assistant Head > Cataloging and Metadata Management Section > National Library of Medicine > 8600 Rockville Pike > Building 38, Room 1N13 > Bethesda, MD 20894 > 301-496-7135 > 301-402-1211 (fax) > [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> > > > > > >
