There is an overabundance of genre & format thesauri out there. In the past practice, we’re all over the place. Some older records only have a single subject of , we tended to add just a single genre type: Artists' books. As our collection of Artists' books grew, that practice has become inadequate, leaving the patron or librarian paging through long pages of results.
FAST genre headings:
Current records tend to have numerous genre/format headings. most drawn from the thesauri listed below. The few rules we have are noted for each.
FAST genre (and other) headings:
We leave in all OCLC fast genre headings, just as we leave in other fast FAST headings, but we don’t necessarily require catalogers to assign them to our original records. If However, if you do wish want to add FAST headings; add all of them (subject, genre, temporal), this handy site will generate FAST headings at all once from entire bloack of copy/pasted 650/655 fields: https://fast.oclc.org/lcsh2fast/
The converter will add an initial ǂa to the new FAST fields, but that will disappear once you validate the record in OCLC.

In practice, prefer lcgft for non-SCA items, unless the term does not exist in there, or another thesaurus has a better descriptive genre term.
RBMS Rare Books Thesaurus (often used in SCA) https://rbms.info/vocabularies/index.shtml When constructing RBMS terms, use the individual thesaurus as a parenthetical qualifier (except for RBMS Genre);
We have been subdividing these with place and/or time, but RBMS would prefer we don’t.
