Yes, freed from the LCRIs we have created a glorious proliferation of
variant access points.

Subject: Re: [RDA-L] RDA Conference headings created by BL
I would hope that if the initialism is spelled out somewhere, that, at
least, a xref is created, if not the main entry for the body. I don't
think using initialisms for corporate bodies is going to help the
patron. After all, sir, "Just waht is the WWIC????," the patron might
ask.

Richard,
I am seeing lots of BL created RDA conference headings show up
for individual conferences, many using initials. The biggest difference
I see is the word (Conference) added to the initials.
Example:
111: 2|aWWIC (Conference)|n(10th :|d2012 :|cThera Island,
Greece)
I like it since it seems to be more in-line with serial type
cataloging treatment than the AACR2 heading: WWIC 2012|d(2012 :|cThera
Island, Greece)
Can you (or anyone else) point me to documentation about this? I
don't remember seeing anything that would have caused me to create the
preferred heading this way.
