I think you're right about the date (RDA 11.2.2.11) The qualifier was added because the name does not convey the idea of a corporate body (11.13.1.1, last section). I think you can use your judgment about whether to add the place or institution, but the place is the default. ------------------------------------------ John Hostage Senior Continuing Resources Cataloger Harvard Library--Information and Technical Services Langdell Hall 194 Harvard Law School Library Cambridge, MA 02138 [log in to unmask]<../../owa/redir.aspx?C=fff0248a4daa423caadeb2f835259a11&URL=mailto%3ahostage%40law.harvard.edu> +(1)(617) 495-3974 (voice) +(1)(617) 496-4409 (fax) ISNI 0000 0000 4028 0917 ________________________________ From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Ream-Sotomayor, Nicole E <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2019 14:00 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PCCLIST] Question on a conference heading Collective wisdom: I�m cataloging the proceedings of the conference Focus on Evidence 2017, held at Freie Universit�t Berlin. There�s a PCC record for the 2015 edition of the conference (OCLC #1027736407), with the AAP: n 2018011248 111 2# $a Focus on Evidence 2015 (Conference) $c (Katholische Universit�t Eichst�tt-Ingolstadt) A few questions: 1. Why was the authority record created with AACR2 instead of RDA? 2. Under both RDA and AACR2, shouldn�t the year in the title be omitted and recorded as the date of the conference in $d? 3. I�d like to create a record for the 2017 edition of the conference: 111 2# $a Focus on Evidence $d (2017 : $c Berlin, Germany) a. Is the qualifier (Conference) necessary? b. Is it preferable to follow the lead of the existing heading and give Freie Universit�t Berlin as the place, instead of the city? Thanks! Nicole Nicole E.
