Hugh -

When I have had these situations, I have handled them as you outlined below. Another variant on this issue is when the subordinate body is entered independently. For example, look at the authority record for "Sourisseau Academy for California State and Local History""

110 2  Sourisseau Academy for California State and Local History
410 2  California State University, San Jose. |b Sourisseau Academy for California State and Local History
410 2  San Jose� State University. |b Sourisseau Academy for California State and Local History

The name of the parent body changed although the name of the subordinate body did not.

(By the way, there happens to already be a University of San Diego, as well as a San Diego State University, and a San Diego City College, and yes, they get mixed up by people not infrequently!)

Paul,

In answer to your question: it would never occur to me NOT to create the geographic NAR in that situation, so I agree with Pat and Caroline on that.

Here's another one on which I'd welcome an "off the cuff" reaction (won't take more than 60 seconds, I promise). Take the following situation:

Let's imagine UCSD changes its name to, say,
        University of San Diego

1) So you establish a new NAR for USD and make reciprocal 5XXs between the two. That much is clear. Very common, of course.

2) What about the Faculty of X. Should the "old" and "new" NARs for this faculty also be linked with 5XXs?

        110 UCSD. Faculty of X
        510 USD. Faculty of X $w b

        110 USD. Faculty of X
        510 UCSD. Faculty of X $w a

3) And what, if at the time of the renaming to USD there's a wholesale restructuring (not unheard of!) and UCSD's Faculty of X becomes USD's Faculty of Y? Would you link the faculty NARs with 5XXs in this situation?

        110 UCSD. Faculty of X
        510 USD. Faculty of Y $w b

        110 USD. Faculty of Y
        510 UCSD. Faculty of X $w a

If there's any documentation on this I've failed to find it (LCRIs would be the most likely place). Precedent reveals examples of both approaches (though finding examples is a bit hit and miss). Colleagues come up with different answers...

I'd be interested to know what you would do in 2 and 3 above (simple YES/NO would be welcome).

Hope all is well.

Best wishes,

Hugh

I was trying to write up for local documentation here what the NACO requirements are for authority records related to the primary one you are contributing. I was surprised that I couldn't find a clear delineation of these in NACO policy documents, especially in the DCM Z1 Introduction. Ana Cristan pointed me to the About NACO document ( http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/nacopara.html). (It is bizarre to me that it's here; I definitely wouldn't have thought to look there.)
One category that is not given in the list of 5 in that document is conference locations. Somewhere along the way, I got it into my head that we _were_ required to ensure that the location used in a conference heading qualifier was represented in the authority file. (I know that for "other" locations we use the language and form in the resource being cataloged, but still thought that the location had to have an authority record.) Do any of you remember that? Do any of you observe such a requirement now?
Thanks,
Paul
