Fields fields 368, 372, and 374 were added to the MARC authority format to contain certain kinds of information about the authorized access point. RDA prefers controlled vocabularies in these elements.

Policy and formulation

  • The Art & Architecture Thesaurus® Online (AAT) is the Folger's vocabulary of choice for these fields. Resort to other vocabularies, or to uncontrolled terms, only as a last resort.
  • Prefer broad terms in field 372 and narrow terms in field 374 for persons.
  • Prefer broad terms in field 368 and narrow terms in field 372 for corporate bodies.
  • Use only the terms on this list. Make requests for additional terms needed to the Folger NACO coordinator.
