The discussion about theses name headings brought up a concern
for me. The vitas included in our dissertations and theses typically
include the place of birth and detailed date of birth.
We include this information in the 670 when creating name
authority records. I am concerned that a criminal could use this
information to steal someone’s identity.
Has anyone else had this concern? If so, how did you
address it?
