Undifferentiated Personal Name Authority Records (Jan. 7, 2013)

Pending the final report of the PCC Non-MARC Task Group, due March 29, 2013, PCC NACO catalogers encountering identities that may be candidates for an undifferentiated name authority record are asked to follow these guidelines:

RDA-trained NACO Catalogers:

• Avoid if at all possible creating new RDA or AACR2 undifferentiated personal name authority records

• Avoid if at all possible adding entities to existing RDA or AACR2 undifferentiated personal name authority records

Instead, apply one of the following RDA instructions, based on cataloger's judgment, to create a unique authorized access point for the person:

• RDA 9.19.1.6 (Profession or Occupation)

• RDA 9.19.1.5 (Period of Activity of the Person)

OR

• Determine if a date of birth, a date of death, a fuller form of name, or an initial is available to create a unique authorized access point for the person.

AACR2 NACO Catalogers:

• Until they are RDA-trained, AACR2 NACO catalogers may continue to create new AACR2 undifferentiated name authority records

• Until they are RDA-trained, AACR2 NACO catalogers may continue to add entities to existing AACR2 undifferentiated name authority records

All RDA questions should be directed to LChelp4rda@loc.gov.

Comments on PCC-related aspects of the US RDA Test may be sent to: coop@loc.gov with the words "PCC/RDA aspects" in the subject line

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.
