I would rather add the name to an undifferentiated record than come up with a |c. For one thing, the field of endeavor can change. Have a look at the NAR for Warfield, Gerald, who has composed music, and written on (at least) music theory, feng shui, and investing.

Schiff Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 2:36 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] a NACO question I think we have all (LC catalogers included) been extending/bending what the 22.19 and its LCRI says about what can be used in $c to break conflicts. You will find numerous terms added to post-19th century names that are clearly a violation of 22.19 and its LCRI (e.g., actor, director, lawyer, physician). Technically, I would say that "dancer", "ballet dancer" and the like are going beyond what we are allowed by the AACR2 rule and LCRI to do. However, RDA will allow the addition of an occupation/profession or field of activity to break conflicts, so I don't really feel that adding these kinds of terms now is so bad. However, if you want to follow the letter of the law so to speak, you can't add these kinds of terms to AACR2 names for post-19th century persons. Adam ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Adam L.

In OCLC I just found quite a few dozen instances of ", $c dancer", and an occasional ", $c ballet dancer" or ", $c modern dancer". I favor this extension of the category to include other musical arts, but I'm wondering whether there is any clear guidance allowing or disallowing it. > > Anyone have clear information ........... or a strong opinion? > > Carl Horne > Slavic and Central Eurasian Cataloger > & NACO/SACO Liaison > Indiana University Library > Bloomington, IN 47405 >
