  29. Changes in headings for persons from AACR2 to RDA GIL Users Group Meeting 2011

  30. Changes to name headings for individuals In RDA, various changes have been made to the way that dates are recorded for persons (described now in AACR2 22.17):

  31. The examples at AACR2 22.17A include abbreviations for months in English.

  32. So name headings that contain a month in AACR2 look like this:

  33. The examples in RDA 9.3.2.3 do not include abbreviations for months in English.

  34. Also, RDA Appendix B does not contain any abbreviations for months. As a result, RDA name headings containing months will look like this:

  35. AACR2 rule 22.17A includes use of the abbreviations “cent.”, “ca.”, “b.”, “d.” and “fl.”.

  36. We are used to seeing AACR2 headings like this one, which contains the abbreviation “cent.”:

  37. RDA does not include these abbreviations.

  38. As a result, RDA name headings containing approximate dates in centuries will look like this:

  39. Instead of “ca.”, as we are used to seeing now…

  40. …RDA 9.3.1.3 prescribes the use of “approximately.”

  41. An example of an RDA record containing “approximately.”

  42. The abbreviation “fl.” will no longer be used when a period of activity is known but the exact years of a person’sbirth and death are unknown.

  43. Instead, LC has chosen to substitute the term “active” for records like this created during the RDA test period.
