It feels like 655 _7 Zines $2 lcgft already allows for identification of cataloged items that are zines, no? Although I suppose I could see some places that may want to use 650 _0 Zines $v Specimens if they are maybe just dipping their toes into the world of zines... --Mike Mike Erickson Cataloging and Metadata Services Michigan State University 366 W.

I use the 655 as you demonstrated (and abhor Zines $v Specimens while simultaneously employing Letterpress $v Specimens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) But when one searched our catalog, one used to get books about zines, which of course now that I'm trying to document the problem, it's not happening.
