[yul-naco] RDA NACO records for review

[Arakawa, Steven]

It appears a new record was created for Jan Morris after the name change from James Morris. But Chaz Bono is using the same record number as the authority record for the superseded Chastity, as is the case with Boylan. In the Morris authority record 010 there are 2 identifier numbers in the $z subfields; the third 670 indicates that initially there were two. The plot thickens.

So, I think the authority record 5291475 should be updated with the original information.

The RDA rule is 9.2.3.7. (same as the AACR2 rule 22.2.C1 for name changes) . Couldn’t find anything in Z1.  The 9.2.3.7/22.2.C1 rules also apply to changes in titles of nobility, and I wouldn’t create a new record in that case.

Thanks Rowena.
... Not sure if you need the $t in the second 375 but I guess you can toss that out there for debate.

Hi Rowena— You have to create a new record that includes a 4XX for the earlier established form (it has a “$w nne” in it), and then the older heading will be deleted, or at least that was the AACR2 practice, so I’ll have to poke around in RDA and make sure that hasn’t changed. BFM will be required on anything published using the earlier name. If you want to see a couple of examples look at the authority records for Morris, Jan, 1926- and Boylan, Jennifer Finney, 1958-.

I believe you’d use multiple 375’s to denote gender and date, using the terms male and female, with a birth year in $s for the first one, if available, and the year, or estimated year, the person began identifying as female in $s of the second 375.

I’ll double check on all of the above for you. Thanks.

PS  Per the instruction, I guess it would be “transsexual woman.”

Subject: NACO question on sexual reassignment

I came across a case where the person has undergone male to female sexual reassignment surgery and now goes by a new name. Their latest work is completed but not yet released, and they are using the new name in their advertising.

I thought this would make an interesting RDA practice record, but an AACR2 authority record exists for their original name. Do I just add 400s for their new full name & nickname? Or does the new name go into the 100? (which seems wrong somehow, since their earlier works were released under the male name). Or do I create a new record for the “new” person with cross refs to the male name? (which may be problematic since I do not yet have the new work in hand).

If I can create a new record, can it be in RDA? If so, what would the correct term be in the 375? The instruction says “gender with which a person identifies” which suggests it should simply be “woman” with  an explanation in the comments. Or should the 375 specify that they are transgender?
