RDA says: If the pages, etc., are numbered
I use your number 2 option. It seems the more logical way in the spirit of RDA.
I don't think we should ignore unnumbered pages in a resource. At this point, a
standardized way of indicating this situation (unnumbered pages in a resource)
is evolving and should become part of a best practices
Jane, thanks again so much for sharing this! I did notice that, depending
on what fields you have checked in the options for deriving records, a
person might get duplicates of fields. Eg. I have 020 checked as a field
to transfer when deriving, so the macro also creates that field. So, I'll
We may need a solution that can be alignment with the whole picture of

I am puzzled by the treatment of initials in names of persons under RDA.
According to AACR2, I believe there was never a space between two or
more initials, regardless whether the initials appeared in the
bibliographic description (e.g. in the statement of responsibility) or
in a heading or
As I understand it, and I could be wrong here. In the description of the
item in hand, there are no spaces between initials, but in the authority
record there are. This has been the common practice at least since AACR2
and I think it is in the NACO manual.

Thanks, Gene. I hadn't realized spaces between initials have already
been common practice in authority records for such a long time (oh dear,
still so many things I don't know about Anglo-American cataloguing...).
But why are the two cases treated differently, in the first place?
I know that
Practice under RDA has not changed from what it was under AACR2: in the
descriptive portion of the record, e.g. statements of responsibility,
notes, and the like, initials with full stops are recorded without
intervening spaces, for example: by S.J. Perelman.
The RDA instruction that continues
Heidrun, as to the why, I have no idea. Perhaps, it had to do with way
computers read letters only, and by putting a space between them, it could
read better. For instance, at least under AACR2/LCRI, Ph.D is treated as
though it were two words; therefore, we transcribe it as Ph. D.

Charles,
Thank you, that was very helpful indeed.
But I wonder: Was it never discussed whether it might be a good idea to
change the practice for transcription, in order to align it with the
practice for access points? There would be three advantages:
#1: consistent display in catalogs
#2:
