FYI. Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks, Jasmin From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging <pccl...@listserv.loc.gov> On Behalf Of Mackenzie, Tricia Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2023 3:19 PM To: pccl...@listserv.loc.gov Subject: [PCCLIST] Announcement: NACO MARC21 046: Subfields $q and $r available for use
Announcement: NACO MARC21 046: Subfields $q and $r available for use MARC field 046 subfields $q (establishment date) and $r (termination date) are now valid for use in NACO corporate name authority records. Existing NACO corporate body records that have establishment date and termination date in subfields $s and $t will not be programmatically updated to use subfields $q and $r. However, when updating an already existing corporate body record, NACO catalogers are encouraged to evaluate the 046 field and manually update the subfields to $q and $r as needed. Note: Subfield $s (start period) and subfield $t (end period) are also valid for use in NACO corporate name authority records in some cases. If subfield $s and subfield $t do not represent establishment date and termination date, do not change the subfield values. NACO documentation will be updated soon to reflect the change in practice. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Tricia Mackenzie (she/her) Cataloging Policy Specialist Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs Division Library of Congress | tmacken...@loc.gov<mailto:tmacken...@loc.gov>
