<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hi everyone,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Phase Two changes to the LC/NACO Authority File that began on March 7 successfully completed yesterday, March 27, at 10:32 AM. 371,942 records were changed and all have
been successfully distributed to the NACO nodes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The next step, to proceed with related bibliographic changes (BFM) resulting from Phase Two changes, will begin soon.

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">PSD and COIN have been received questions about some of the changes so I’d like to highlight the major ones and direct you to the details described in the document:

<p class="MsoPlainText"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Expanding the abbreviations ‘arr.’, ‘acc.’ and unacc.’
<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Headings with certain abbreviations no longer valid under RDA will be updated to spell out the abbreviations, such as arr. (arranged), acc. (accompaniment), unacc. (unaccompanied).

<p class="MsoPlainText"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Modify ‘Bible’ headings
<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Authority records for parts of the Bible containing the abbreviations “O.T.” or “N.T.” will be modified to spell out the abbreviations “Old Testament” or “New Testament”
unless the heading represents an individual book of the Bible (when “Old Testament” or “New Testament” will be omitted under RDA). The change will apply to the sacred work itself, and relevant parts, not titles that merely refer to the Bible.

<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Authority records using ‘violoncello’ in conventional collective titles or as a medium of performance will be updated to replace the term ‘violoncello’ with ‘cello’ following
RDA, where appropriate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The handling of the abbreviation ‘Dept.’
<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">While abbreviating the word ‘Dept.’ was not AACR2 practice (but national practice under the LCRIs), the shift to RDA provides an opportunity to convert existing headings
that contain the abbreviation ‘Dept.’ to represent the full form of the word in headings and appropriate references.

<p class="MsoPlainText"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Modify ‘Koran’ headings
<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The conversion to RDA provides the opportunity to use the more commonly transliterated form “Qur’an” in headings referring to this sacred work itself, not titles that
merely contain the word Koran. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Modify ‘Selections’ uniform titles
<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">‘Selections’ as a conventional collective title will no longer be valid under RDA as the preferred title for a work, only as the preferred title for parts of a work. The
program will identify headings that use ‘Selections’ and change to ‘Works. Selections’ as appropriate.

<p class="MsoPlainText"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Handling of X00 $c
<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Because there is not a one-to-one correspondence between text strings in 100 $c under AACR2 and RDA, special processing will be done to programmatically identify when
the $c is valid as is under RDA, when it would be invalid under RDA, and when it can be made acceptable under RDA by program. Headings that will be invalid under RDA or will need human review will be marked with a 667 in phase

<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Date subfields in various types of headings (mostly $d in personal name headings and treaties) contain abbreviations that are to be spelled out under RDA. Examples include
abbreviations for ‘century’ and months of the year. Some abbreviations found in pre-RDA records will be replaced with words (for example, ‘approximately’ for ‘ca.’ and ‘active’ for ‘fl.’). A hyphen before or after the date will be used instead of the abbreviations
‘b.’ and ‘d.’. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
