    Subject Usage Information in Name Authority Records H 432

    BACKGROUND: Information applicable to the usage of a name heading in subject cataloging


    may appear in a 667 field in the name authority record. Because the 667 field is also used for
    descriptive cataloging information, there may be more than one such field in a given NAR. The
    field that carries subject cataloging information always begins with the words SUBJECT USAGE.
    The information is presented using standardized wording. The procedures for adding the
    information to a name authority record are described in this and other individual Subject
    Headings Manual instruction sheets, as noted below. The following are examples of the types
    of subject cataloging information that can appear in this field:
