RE: 655 2nd indicator

["Paul Burry" <burryp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a recent change to the MARC coding rules: all the values allowable in the 2nd indicator position of 650 are now permitted for 655s as well, previously the source of the heading was specified in subfield $2 of 655. Technically speaking, both options are correct. The tag tables/indexing in your database have not been updated to allow for this new change, which is why it doesn't index the 655_0 headings.

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the following:

655  0 American poetry
655  7 American poetry $2 lcsh

For some reason, if I use the 2nd option, it falls into our subject 
index, but not if I use the 1st, in which case, it is not even 
searchable. Anyone has any idea?

Thank you,
