[yul-naco] Yale Peabody Museum

[Bolkovac, Eva]

Hi, there is no authority record created for the new heading: Yale Peabody Museum in OCLC (or Voyager). Would a NACO cataloger make this as their priority to create a record?
The program I use to make global changes in bib records is based on a current authority record. I was going to download one from OCLC, and do it, but it is not there. The  https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79110184.html is for the old heading.

I would suggest creating one soon, as it is a priority for Yale..

Please let me know when one is created, I can make the Voyager global change very quickly then.
Thanks,
Éva

Hi, all,

Here's an issue that came up in the context of metadata transformations for LUX.

As part of its rebranding, the Peabody Museum has changed its name from "Peabody Museum of Natural History" to "Yale Peabody Museum" (as displayed on the museum homepage<https://peabody.yale.edu/>). The new name is currently listed as a variant on the LC authority record<https://peabody.yale.edu/>, but it should now become the authorized heading. Apparently, there wasn't an "official" announcement of the name change, but it seems to have been rolled out last spring (the first mention I've seen was dated May 2023).

Could we update the authority record to reflect the name change?

All best,
Tim
