Adam Schiff said: I don't think there is any guidance on this Mary Jane



Some guidance would be nice, wouldn't it?


I have evolved to the point where I enter information in the 3xx fields of an authority record in a "faceted" (for lack of a better term) manner. That is, if the information is in one field, I don't duplicate it in another. Examples:


374 Composers

375 female


NOT:

374 Female composers

375 female

368 Congresses and conventions

372 Viticulture


NOT:

368 Congresses and conventions

372 Viticulture--Congresses

As I've said, I haven't seen any guidance. I would like to think this could be a best practice. Others may not agree.
