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.
