Making Changes to Existing Name Authority Records
2
Overview
• You now know how to create a “perfect” RDA authority record!
• You now know to search thoroughly to find the authority record you need
• But …
3
It is Not a Perfect (NACO) World
• The training prepared you to create NEW NACO records and to SEARCH for existing NACO records
• But you will not always be creating new NACO records
• And you will not always find the perfect existing NACO record
4
Summary: Basic Principle
Authority records must conform to RDA practices!
• Remember 008/10 Rules = z• Remember 040 subfield $e rda
5
Summary: Checklist • You need an access point for a
bibliographic record, so:• Search multiple forms of the name• Search both bibliographic and authority
databases• Sometimes research is needed to clarify
relationships• Remember the 24-hour rule• Don’t overdo it!
6
Summary: Search Results Govern Workflow
1. You find a NAR -- Use it!2. You find a NAR -- Update it!3. You do not find a NAR -- Create a
new one!• OCLC Connexion and SkyRiver
have authority macros
7
Summary: Search Results Govern Workflow
You find a NAR -- Update it!Let’s look at some typical cases– some where an update is optional, and some where it is required
8
Why Update an Existing NAR ?• To enhance it by adding new attributes
or new variant access points that assist the catalog user
• To change an existing variant access point to avoid a NACO conflict
• To change an existing authorized access point to avoid a NACO conflict
• To change an authorized access point to close an open birth date, or to add a birth date to an authorized access point containing only a death date
9
Why Update an Existing NAR ?• To consolidate information when a
duplicate NAR will be reported for deletion
• To evaluate and re-code an existing AACR2, AACR2-compatible, or earlier rules NAR that is not RDA-acceptable to RDA
• To evaluate and re-code an existing RDA-acceptable AACR2 NAR to RDA
• To correct an RDA authorized access point “error of fact”
10
To Enhance by…• Changing or updating attributes,
for example:• Dates (046 field)• Locations (370 field)• Address (371 field)• Field of Activity (372 field)• Profession/Occupation (374 field)• etc.

What About Linking References?
Make a see reference for the old valid form of 1XX, with $w nnea, unless the reference itself is a valid RDA variant access point, in which case use $w nne. In case of doubt, use $w nnea
