Recording a structured description
Paragraph
LC practice: In most cases, prefer RDA vocabularies in bibliographic descriptions in general cataloging; catalogers should consult the Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs Division (PTCP) about the use of other vocabularies. The Rare Materials Section and processing units in special collections divisions can choose to use appropriate specialist vocabularies but should notify PTCP which non-RDA vocabularies are being used.
LC practice: If the RDA vocabulary list has incomplete coverage of scope, and an appropriate term is not in the list, notify PTCP of the need for a new term.
