</a>I would like to call your attention to one significant revision to
the policies. Notes justifying access points are not required for the YUL
Core standard. In the course of reviewing earlier drafts of the
documentation, the Catalog Policy & Documentation Committee observed
that in some cases the justifying note would be the only record of the
form of the name if an authority record was not made. So, the revised
policy is: <br><br>
<dl>
<dd>If a heading used on a core record has not been established and would
not normally be established following YUL authority record policies, and
the heading can only be referenced through a note, either make an
authority record for the heading or make a justifying note, preferably a
quotation. <br><br>
</dl>For example, if for a collection of conference papers the conference
name is not given in the chief source and must be taken from the preface,
and the heading for the conference has not already been established,
either make a quoted note to document the conference name or make an
authority record for the conference name.<br><br>
Some other changes have been made as non-print cataloging documentation
has been reviewed. Further revision to the guidelines can occur as
catalogers get more experience and feedback is received. <br>
