2010-10-14 Thread Diane I. Hillmann
This issue represents (to me, anyway) an excellent example of why we need to look at approaches that are not record-based if we want to move forward. If we start thinking that 'we can't use RDA because it won't let us do provider neutral records' we're shooting ourselves in the foot, in my
