From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dana Van Meter Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 11:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RDA-L] AACR2 2.14E1 Searching AACR2 in RDA Toolkit, I see that there isn't an equivalent rule in RDA (at least the toolkit hasn't added the RDA icon next to this AACR2 rule), yet I see catalogers substituting a "u" for a "v" in the 245 (and adding a 246 with the "v" unchanged). I thought at one time I had found a corresponding rule (or PS) in RDA, but much to my chagrin I can't find the notebook I originally used when I started taking notes on RDA. Everything I can think of today to search in RDA isn't leading me to a rule saying to substitute a "u" for "v" in cases on capitals being converted to lowercase. I've just cataloged 3 books where catalogers did in fact do this in the 245 though. I have no problem adopting this practice, but for my own sanity, I'd like to know where in RDA it says to do this. Can someone point me to the appropriate rule or policy statement?
