[yul-naco] FW: RDA conference name & other updates

[Arakawa, Steven]

A number of PPTs on the LC Special Topics site have been updated recently: Conferences, Relationship Designators, RDA Elements in NARs. Take a look at them to make sure you are current with NACO policies:

Thanks to Dominique for calling this to my attention.

On the LC Training Page, a number of new or updated training resources have been added.  For NACO work, be sure to take a look at, under Special Topics, Changes to the LC/NACO Authority File.

For those trained in July, the links updated Sept. 2012 or later should be reviewed to make sure you are on the same page as LC/PCC.

I've been updating my training documentation from this site and I notice that the links to the Trainees Manual send you to PDFs of the corresponding slides, not exactly a good update. If you have a printout of the original manual (which should have been included in your handouts), you might want to hold on to it even if you download the updated version.

Hi Steven,

I don't know if you saw this yet: www.loc.gov/aba/rda/source/special_topics_conferences.ppt<http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/source/special_topics_conferences.ppt>

It's a PPT presentation revised on Oct. 2012 on establishing conference name authority records. It's based on a presentation by the British Library. But since it was given to staff at the LC by a LC staff that we can follow what's there. It shows the new optional 3XX fields used in conference authority records:

368 Conference
370 Associated places
372 Field of activity
373 Associated groups
377 Language
