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--occupation terms and also "Spirit"--that are recorded
in parentheses but that subfield
$c precedes $d when we record terms
considered part of the name (such as
Jr. or III) or associated
titles (such as Countess), 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
