Aloha,
We're hoping for some clarification about the order of subfields in RDA
NARs for personal names. Is it correct that subfield $c follows subfield
$d for cataloger additions--occupationterms and also "Spirit"--that are
recorded in parentheses but that subfield $c precedes $d when we record
termsconsidered part of the name (such as Jr. or III) or associated
titles (such asCountess), or--in the near future--terms of address,
honor, office, and rank (such as Sir, Captain, Rev.)? In other words,
does $c comes after $d when it contains parentheses but before $d when
it does not?
Here's a real-live example: We are updating and recoding NAR
no2009160736 (Roberts, Ian, $c actor). The year of birth is known (1952)
but another individual is already using the heading Roberts, Ian, $d
1952. Which of these is correct?
Roberts, Ian, $d 1952- $c (Actor)
Roberts, Ian$c(Actor), $d 1952-
Or is it better not to record the date in the 100 field at all (in
violation of the LC-PCC PS at 9.19.1.3) and leave the heading with the
unique string Roberts, Ian $c (Actor)? After all, that's what the Phase
2 program would do...
Thanks.
Nancy
