Authority Records for Ongoing Conferences

“For ongoing conferences, separate authority records may be created for the collective conference (typically made when cataloging a serial), an individual instance of an ongoing conference (typically made when cataloging a monograph), or both. These records may coexist in the LC/NACO authority file. A record for the collective conference should always be made to connect the earlier and later names of the collective conference.”

number, date, or place of the individual conference

53

BL Guidelines on Sequential Conferences

If an AACR2 name authority record already exists for the collective conference name

i.e. without number, date or place

Create an individual conference name authority record for the item in hand

Only upgrade the collective name authority record to RDA if:

The collective access point is needed in a catalogue record, or

The form of name is not valid in RDA

54


If no AACR2 name authority record exists for the collective conference name

i.e. without number, date or place

Create an individual conference name authority record for the item in hand

Do not create a collective conference name authority record

55


If an AACR2 record exists for individual conference name in form acronym/year (CAV 2013, etc.), for the item in hand

This form of name is not valid in RDA

Correct and upgrade the individual name authority record

Do not create a collective name authority record

56


Only create or upgrade a collective name authority record when:

Your BL catalogue record covers the complete sequence

or

The existing collective record is not valid in RDA

or

Earlier and later name references are needed when a conference has changed its name

57


If earlier NARs in the same sequence are not valid in RDA

Refer to Authority Control for correction (use email)Only if used in BL catalogue

Recording at the Element Level

Authorized Access Points are required by MARC 21 Authorized Access Points are required by current systems However, RDA is designed to work at the element level Linked data (BIBFRAME, etc.)

So

Future systems may not require Authorized Access Points Discretely recorded elements can be retrieved, matched, linked and combined into displays Element-level recording is the real substance of the RDA NAR Elements are recorded for the present in discrete MARC 21 fields

Not all RDA elements can be added to the authorized access point
