655 Genre and Format terms:
In the past we have used Rare Books Binding & Genre Thesaurus (for SCA) https://rbms.info/vocabularies/index.shtml or the Art and Architecture Thesaurus, but there are many newer sources available, such as Library of Congress Genre and Format Terms (available in Classification Web) https://classweb.org/ or in OCLC authority files (sca ge: artists' books)
On occasion, we have used our own Local lists of genre terms, usually for SCA items.
Artists' books genre terms (just a few):
655 7 Artists’ books. |2 lcgft ←in general, prefer lcgft for non-SCA items, if the term exists in there
655 7 Artists' books. |2 rbgenr ← Rare Books Genre Thesaurus
655 7 artists' books (books) |2 aat ← Art and Architecture Thesaurus
We don’t need three identical 655 fields for the same term, but we can have 650/655 combos in the same record. Also, leave in all OCLC fast subject headings even though they often duplicate the 650 text (by their very nature being LCSH-derived)
