Subject: Draft for review: Revised LCRI 26.1 to resolve normalization
conflicts<br>

(Please forward as appropriate; apologies for cross-posting)<br><br>
<br>
A draft revision of Library of Congress Rule Interpretation 26.1 is
available for comment on the CPSO Home Page at:
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/26_1.html " eudora="autourl">
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/26_1.html </a> <br><br>
The substantive element for review is a change to allow qualifiers to be
added to see references for corporate names that consist soley of an
initialism. This change is necessary in order to break
normalization conflicts with headings containing the same text string on
another record. The LCRI also allows for cataloger judgement as to
the type of qualifier to be added in such a case, either a general term
per rule 24.4B (e.g., (Firm)) or the spelled-out form of the
intialism.<br><br>
For example:<br>
110 2# $a Servicio Universitario Mundial<br>
410 2# $a SUM (Servicio Universitario Mundial)<br>
(Qualifier added to reference in order to break a conflict with the
personal name heading "Sum")<br><br>
A comparable change will be made to LCRI 24.4B Names not conveying the
idea of a corporate body (Initialisms and Acronyms).<br><br>
Please send comments to cpso@loc.gov by Sept. 30,
