On September 11, I sent an announcement to this list regarding DCM Z1 policy changes for two fields commonly found in NACO records:
370 (Associated place) and 382 (Medium of performance) Subsequent to the announcement, there were some very helpful comments on the policy changes and on the updated DCM Z1 instructions themselves. I just posted an updated version of the DCM Z1 370 <http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Z01%20370%202013nov.p df> instruction to the PCC web site. Thanks to Adam Schiff for his suggested revision of this instruction. I also posted an updated version of the DCM Z1 382 <http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Z01%20382%202013rnov. pdf> instruction. The music community is currently working on best practices for the 382 subfields that are now authorized for use in NACO records, and those best practices will be incorporated into the DCM instruction in a future Cataloger's Desktop update. The updated versions of the two instructions will appear in the November 2013 update to Cataloger's Desktop, but the instructions may be applied now. I would also like to remind all NACO catalogers that the following subfields are not yet activated for use in MARC 21 field 368 (Other Attributes of Person or Corporate Body): $d (Title of person) $s (Start period) $t (End period) $u (Uniform Resource Identifier) $v (Source of information) Please do not code these subfields in a 368 field in NACO records. When the subfields are activated for use, I will send an announcement to the PCC list.
