Named Conferences



Under RDA a conference name need not contain a word that denotes a conference, to be considered named

                LCRI 21.1.B1 has no equivalent in RDA or in the LC-PCC PS

          LCRI 21.1.B1:
          “… when deciding whether a phrase is a name is that the phrase must include a word that connotes a meeting:  "symposium," "conference," "workshop," "colloquium," etc.”

<<<<----------------->>>>

A named conference need only fulfill these RDA definitions
l  RDA 8.1.2
                Person, Family, and Corporate Body:
                “The term corporate body refers to an organization or group of persons and/or organizations that is identified by a particular name and that acts, or may act, as a unit.”
l  RDA 8.1.3
                Name:
    “The term name refers to a word, character, or group of words and/or characters by which a person, family, or corporate body is known.”

<<<<----------------->>>>

l  Conference names eligible for use as an authorized access point (111 or 711)
          Freedom & Faith
          Digital Library Futures: User Perspectives and Institutional Strategies
l  Considered unnamed under AACR2, but named under RDA
l  May not convey the idea of a corporate body (conference)

<<<<----------------->>>>

Additions to names
l  RDA 11.7.1.4
                Names Not Conveying the Idea of a Corporate Body:
                “If the preferred name for the body does not convey the idea of a corporate body, record a suitable designation in the language preferred by the agency creating the data.”
l  Examples:
          Freedom & Faith (Conference) (1984 : Saint Charles, Ill.)
          Digital Library Futures: User Perspectives and Institutional Strategies (Conference) (2009 : Milan, Italy)
