"Professor" on its own would commonly be a title, specifically, an "Other term of rank, honour or office" (9.4.1.9, 9.19.1.6). Such terms are not enclosed in parentheses, but preceded by a comma. A phrase like "Professor of physics", on the other hand, is a term for a profession or occupation (9.16, 9.19.1.5), and so is enclosed in parentheses. So generally I’d expect to see: Jacoby, David, Professor But Wolf, Martin (Professor of physics) Whether this makes a blind bit of difference to the user is probably a moot point.

Schiff Sent: 23 September 2014 02:21 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] Must X00 $c be in parentheses in RDA authorities? I think it would depend on whether the term is a person's title, or it is being added as an occupation or profession. If the term is part of the person's name (e.g. it appears on resoruces as "Professor David Jacoby"), then it would be recorded as Jacoby, David, $c Professor On the other hand, if it doesn't appear as part of his name but is being added as an occupation/profession, then it would be in parentheses: Jacoby, David $c (Professor) Since there is justification in the authority record for the name "Professor David Jacoby", I think this authority record is correct as is.

I know in the beginning this had to be ?Jacoby, David $c (Professor)? to be a valid RDA form, but is ?Jacoby, David, ?c Professor? now acceptable? (I was thinking of changing it to Jacoby, David, $d 1928- if it wasn?t.)
