Subject: [OLAC-L] 658 (Curriculum Objective)


I'm looking for libraries that use tag 658 (Index term-Curriculum Objective).



I'm cataloging special formats items for a curriculum library and am wondering about the pros/cons/techniques about applying this tag. Information in BFAS and MARC documentation, including MARBI discussion, is intriguing, but sparse or is not available online (like the Discussion paper 93-12).



Observing this tag in operation in an OPAC would be interesting as well. What has been your experience?



Any contributions are welcome! Thanks.
