>A draft revision of Library of Congress Rule Interpretation 26.1 is 
>available for comment on the CPSO Home Page at: 
>http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/26_1.html
>
>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.
>
>For example:
>110 2#  $a Servicio Universitario Mundial
>410 2#  $a SUM (Servicio Universitario Mundial)
>(Qualifier added to reference in order to break a conflict with the 
>personal name heading "Sum")
>
>A comparable change will be made to LCRI 24.4B Names not conveying 
>the idea of a corporate body (Initialisms and Acronyms).
>
>Please send comments to cpso at loc.gov by Sept. 30, 2006.
