Genre Terms
(Coded 655 _7 , with $2rbgenr at end)

Note: For all of the RBMs thesauri other than Genre Terms, each term used is followed by a word in parentheses which identifies the thesaurus it comes from.  Check the "Application" section of the Introduction to the thesaurus to see what term is appropriate to use. In the Printing and Publishing Evidence thesaurus, each term has a subject catagory category note to specify whether its it's a printing term or a publishing term.
