This strikes me as similar to the old NACO rule of thumb, "Don't add cross-reference for a variant of a variant".
I.e.: "Don't add a qualifier to a qualifier." It makes sense for a heading. Though I admit I'm still puzzled why we are doing this, and other changes, for the 370 (other than, because that's what RDA 16.2.2.4 says to do) instead of just copying the established NACO form as is. Seems to go against the grain of preferring controlled vocabulary for 3xx fields in authorities. --Ben Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions, Metadata and Enterprise Systems MIT Libraries 617-253-7137 -----Original Message----- From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca] On Behalf Of Adam L.
