A little more information on our policy:
VIAF: cite the acronym of the library whose authority record you've chosen, as given in field 003, along with any alternate spellings or other information, such as the occupation and gender if unclear, in the 670. Give original language for controlled vocabulary in authority records, for example, (Beruf(e)) in Deutsche National Bibliothek records.
Example
670 DNB in VIAF, viewed 13 December 2014 ǂb (authorized access point: Grünhut, Gavro, 1849-1906; occupations: Verleger, Publizist)

I'm on the digest, so hope that I haven't repeated what others have sent, Andrea

A "by the way" question: Is there a "best practices" out there somewhere for citing VIAF in authority records, and especially for dealing with its record of all records aspect? Should individual national-level records be cited independently, citing VIAF as more of an access point than an "authority" in itself? Boiling it all down to a 670 can be rather a challenge ...
Thanks - Richard Noble
