As an example, the cataloger has an early edition of Jane Eyre. The author name on the title page is Currer Bell. Although Currer Bell is a pseudonym for Charlotte Bronte, we wouldn't want the cataloger to enter under Bell, Currer rather than Bronte, Charlotte, because it is commonly known --

Well, I don't know what to do about that either. I was actually just responding to the following: But I would not like to start seeing records that have a 100 for the named person on the resource and a 700 for the actual author and I meant to say some of us don't pay attention to what we are

And really what we need are systems that use the relationships in authority records to offer the user choices. You search for Barbara Vine and the system asks you if you also want to retrieve her real identity Ruth Rendell. Our OPACs don’t do a great job with this yet. Adam Schiff University

[RDA-L] Titles of nobility

2013-10-16 Thread Heidrun Wiesenmüller
I find it difficult to reconcile the following two RDA instructions concerning titles of nobility: 9.4.1.3 (Recording Titles of Persons) says: Record titles as separate elements, as parts of access points, or as both. This also refers to titles of nobility (9.4.1.5). So 9.4.1.3 seems to allow

As I see it, 9.4.1.3 is simply saying that sometimes you record it as a separate element, sometimes as part of an access point, and sometimes as both. It isn't saying you always have a choice about it. It directs you to 9.19.1.2 for specific instructions on recording as part of an access

This is just a guess, but could examples of the first case include the exceptions listed under 9.19.1.2? If the titles or designations in those exceptions are not added to the access point, then perhaps they could be included as other elements (e.g. 368) in an authority record. However, the three

Good point. Thanks for pointing me to the exceptions. But I agree it's not clear whether in these cases you'd want to record the title at all. Heidrun Arthur Liu wrote: This is just a guess, but could examples of the first case include the exceptions listed under 9.19.1.2? If the titles

The instruction at 9.4.1.3 is an exact parallel to the instruction at 9.3.1.3, so I think you can apply the same line of reasoning in both instances. There will be times when we record a person's dates or title as a separate data element, times when we record dates or titles as parts of access

Implementing these access points in a card catalog produces Fast, Howard, 1914-2003. Sylvia see Cunningham, E.V., 1914-2003. Sylvia This captures the reality that users would legitimately seek the title Sylvia under the name they saw in a few cases. RDA E.1.3.2 provides the instructions
