I hope I didn’t step on anybody’s toes, but I fixed it this morning to Pennington, Anne, 1934-1981. Janice Bunker Music Cataloger 4334 Harold B.

I hope somebody rda-“compatible” will change the record.

I have checked OCLC records for usage for this author and find no instances of “Anne Elizabeth Pennington.” The majority of usages are Anne Pennington, and I find some A.E. Pennington, one Anne E. Pennington, two instances of En Penington (Polish editions). Can anyone explain why Pennington, Anne Elizabeth was chosen as the authorized form under rda when “Elizabeth” never seems to appear in usages and is not cited in any 670 field on the record? I want to change the heading to Pennington, Anne. However, I have not received naco rda training so assume I cannot. 010 n 80005215 040 DLC ǂb eng ǂc DLC ǂe rda ǂd DLC ǂd OkU ǂd DLC ǂd Uk 046 ǂf 1934 ǂg 19810527 1001 Pennington, Anne Elizabeth 375 female 377 eng 4001 Pennington, A.
