Richard,

 

Thanks so much for providing this. I ‘intended’ to go through all the changes, checking for this information so you saved me lots of time.

 

Just to be sure I understand, 1xx’s that use $c Ph.D. (i.e Boyd, Robert, Ph. D.) will need to be changed

 

It appears that we could possible change1xx’s with M.D. to Doctor (i.e. Chen, Jun, $c M.D. )

 

However, the last category that you mention:

 

    Nichols, Chris (Of the North Oxford Association)

    Independent burgess (of Nottingham)

 

These will eventually not be ok under rda--?

 

Sincerely,

 

Mary Charles

 

 

 

With apologies for cross-posting, I'd like to thank Judy for her email below, and draw colleagues attention to two of the BL's proposals (BL/3 and BL/4), that are included in this update, and will appear shortly in the RDA text. They will greatly increase the range of qualifiers available to create unique authorised access points for personal names, and help expedite the elimination of undifferentiated NARs.

 

This is also relevant to the decisions cataloguers take, when reviewing those NARs flagged for review under the Phase I RDA changes to LC/NAF, as many existing $c qualifiers will now be acceptable under RDA (though in some cases needing the addition of parentheses). 

 

The following kinds of qualifier will be available to distinguish personal name access points; they will also be recorded in MARC 21 field 368 in authority records, as and when institutions usethe field in personal NARs (I think LC have yet to implement subfield $d for NACO). I've reminded our own cataloguers that none should be recorded in MARC 21 field 374, as they are not Occupations. This list of potential examples is more extensive that that included in the RDA update.

 

Terms of honour, rank or office:

 

    Lauder Lass (Horse)

Subject: [RDA-L] 2012 approved RDA proposals: changes posted

The final versions of the proposals approved by the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA during and after its November 2012 meeting have been posted on the JSC web site. See the "Sec final" documents listed in the table of new working documents or consult a specific proposal in the constituency proposals section.

If you're interested in which instructions are affected by the approved proposals, a table is available for your use. It lists the new, revised, or deleted instructions and indicates where changes were made (in the instruction, in the examples, or both); it also includes the JSC document number if you want to read the background and justification for the changes.

 

Regards, Judy Kuhagen

JSC Secretary
