<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Cross-posted - apologies for the duplication<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The PCC Acceptable Headings Implementation Task Group has prepared for comment a series of documents describing various aspects of the preparation of the LC/NACO Authority File for use under RDA. These documents replace, and greatly expand
on, a set of documents made available earlier this year. Contact information for the task group is at the end of this message.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The documents are available for download from this page: <a href="http://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/pccahitg/index.html">
http://files.library.northwestern.edu/public/pccahitg/index.html</a><span style="color:red"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As before, there is a general document ("Phased implementation of RDA") that outlines the procedure that the task group currently assumes will be followed. This is followed by a separate document for each kind of change to be made or other
category of work to be performed <b>All parties interested in the use of the LC/NACO Authority File under RDA are urgently requested to read all of these documents closely, and to pelt the task group with questions and suggestions.</b> Comments on these documents
should if possible be sent by April 15, 2012.<b><span style="color:red"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The task group would like to draw special attention to the document that describes the creation of 046 fields from subfield $d in personal name headings. To help everyone understand and comment on this procedure, the document is accompanied
by a ZIP file that contains the results of a test program; the ZIP file also contains a document that describes how these results were obtained and how to go about evaluating them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Comments on all of these documents will be gratefully received by the task group from all comers. Now that the date for Day 1 (March 31, 2013) has been set, the task group needs soon to set about establishing a more firm schedule for the
various phases of this work, and concerning itself with other logical matters. As the task group goes about its business, the documents at the download site will be revised to reflect the group's current understanding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The final document available from the download page describes a service that the task group is making available, to allow anyone to preview the effect of the RDA migration on one or more authority records. This document describes how you
can send an e-mail message with 010s for one or more authority records you would like to preview, and receive a message back for each record showing how the migration will affect that record.<span style="color:red"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the past two months, the task group has received suggestions for several new operations that ought to be, or could well be, performed during the preparation of the LC/NACO Authority File for use under RDA. These have all been incorporated
into the current plan. Please, please, everyone: if you can think of anything that ought to be, or might be, done to the LC/NACO Authority File to make it more amenable for use under RDA, send a message to the task group. Do not limit yourself to things you
think are possible (which will be the task group's job to figure out), but instead concern yourself with what you think ought to happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The task group would like to extend its most sincere thanks to all those who helped with the review of subfield $c texts for personal names. The task group is still reviewing the responses; when this review is finished, the document at
the download site dealing with subfield $c will be revised.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can send messages regarding any aspect of the RDA conversion of the LC/NACO Authority File to the task group's chair (Gary L. Strawn;
<a href="mailto:mrsmith@northwestern.edu">mrsmith@northwestern.edu</a>) or to any member of the task group. The task group members are listed at the end of the group's charge, which is available from the download site:
