On January 6th, 2015, the Library of Congress completed the LC/NACO Authority File changes for Phase 3A.
An estimated 190,000 changes were made. The Phase 3 Task Group has been monitoring the changes and has noticed a few anomalies. Some small clean-up projects will take place in the coming weeks. An example of an anomaly is the unwanted deletion of a letter after subfield $c and the removal of an ending parenthesis: 100 0# $a Andromeda, $c rincess, daughter of Cepheus, King of Ethiopia (Mythological character This was the unwanted change that I willingly took the hit for-thanks to Diane and Gary for pointing out that it was a Phase 3A anomaly, not a Paul Frank anomaly. PCC catalogers may notify LC of any Phase 3A anomalies found in a 1XX by writing to [email protected] - or, if obvious, simply fix the error themselves. Thank you for your patience and support.
