I'm a little confused
about correct practice for the new 655s.
I'd be grateful for
anyone's thoughts on the following:
[1] It looks as though
LC is insisting on including a
655 0 Maps.
(see, e.g., OCLC
664808196) in the absence of a "thematic" 655. The implication
is that from now on all map records _must_ have a 655. Is this
right? (But see OCLC 664808195 for a counterexample.)
[2] "Road maps" does
not appear in the list of 655s I've seen, but see OCLC
664808197 which has both
655 0 Road maps.
and a
650 0 Roads #z[Place
name] #vMaps.
Is this right? (Note
also OCLC 664808194, which has a
655 0 Roads maps.
.) Other recent LC
records (e.g., 664808196, mentioned above) don't try to get
"road maps" into a 655 at all.
Is there a "correct"
practice here?
Thanks.
