Early implementation of changes to DCM Z1 for 370

-
"After discussions on the PCC list, and by participants at the PCC Operations Committee meeting and PCC-related meetings at ALA Annual, the policy for formulating a place name to be used in authority field 370 will now be to use the authorized form of the place.  This practice should make it easier for catalogers to supply data for this field and improve the potential for the data to be used in a linked environment. 
It will no longer be necessary to re-formulate some place names to look the same as they would if they were being added as an addition to the access point in the 1XX. A revised DCM Z1 page for the 370 field, with examples, will be formally published in November-- a pre-publication version has been posted at: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Z01%20370%202013nov.pdf and may be applied now.  Cataloger's are welcome to, but not required to, change the forms found on existing authority records.

Location of pre-publication DCM Z1 pages can be found under "MARC 21 Encoding" on the Post RDA Implementation Guidelines and Standards page.

As a  reminder, the following subfields are not yet activated for use in MARC 21 field 368 (Other Attributes of Person or Corporate Body):

$d (Title of person)
$s (Start period)
$t (End period)
$u (Uniform Resource Identifier)
$v (Source of information)

Please do not code these subfields in a 368 field in NACO records. When the subfields are activated for use, an announcement will be sent."

RDA -- INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

-
Resource Description and Access ( RDA ) is a standard for cataloguing that provides instructions and guidelines on formulating data for resource description and discovery. Intended for use by libraries and other cultural organizations such as museums and archives, RDA is the successor to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), the current cataloging standard set for English language libraries. RDA was initially released in June 2010. In March 2012, the Library of Congress announced it will have fully implemented RDA cataloging by March 31, 2013. Several other national libraries including the British Library, Library and Archives Canada, National Library of Australia, and Deutsche Nationalbibliothek also planned to implement RDA in 2013. Background RDA emerged from the International Conference on the Principles & Future Development of AACR held in Toronto in 1997. It was quickly realised that substantial revision of AACR2 was required, which
