Delete all 6xx fields with a second indicator other than “0” (with the exception of 655s).  If one of these subject headings seems to be useful or pertinent, go to Classification Web and find an LC subject heading to replace it. All non–literature books should have at least 1 subject heading assigned.  Also, watch that the subject headings make sense for the book.

655      Genre/Form

This field is used to indicate the genre or form of the item being described.  It cannot be verified in OCLC.  This field is used mostly in literature and art.  Leave the 655s in the record if it is useful and makes sense. If the 655 is a duplicate of a 650 field AND the 655 describes the genre or form of the item, then delete the 650.  See MARC Help for more information about this field.
