Demonstration 4.b Constructing Authorized Access Points

Subfield $c Jr.

This relationship is considered part of the preferred name

There is no conflict—it is added to the authorized access point if it is part of the preferred name

Note the title page usage

RDA 9.2.2.9.5

Words,Etc., Indicating Relationship Following Surnames

Record similar terms (e.g., Jr., Sr., fils, père) and numbers (e.g., III) occurring in languages other than Portuguese following the person’s forename or forenames, preceded by a comma.

Subfield $d died 1988 – Note the spelled-out form died (not d.)

RDA 9.19.1.3

Date of Birth and/or Death

Add the date of birth (see 9.3.2) and/or date of death (see 9.3.3), if necessary, to distinguish one access point from another.

Optional Addition

Add a date or dates associated with the person even if there is no need to distinguish between access points.

Subfield $d -1999

This is an LC policy (LCPS 9.3.3.3)

However, PCC has not determined its policy (as of 2012 March)

So you will see LC RDA records using this construction in $d

PCC may use subfield $d died 1999

RDA 9.19.1.3

Date of Birth and/or Death

Add the date of birth (see 9.3.2) and/or date of death (see 9.3.3), if necessary, to distinguish one access point from another.

Subfield $d active 1937-1938 -- “active” (not “fl.”) and valid for a 20th century person

RDA 9.19.1.5

Period of Activity of the Person

If none of the elements specified under 9.19.1.3 (date of birth and/or death) or 9.19.1.4 (fuller form of name) is available to distinguish one access point from another, add a term indicating period of activity of the person (see 9.3.4).

Subfield $q (Daniel Mark) added in absence of conflict!

RDA allows this

LC is only adding fuller forms in conflict situations

RDA 9.19.1.4

Fuller Form of Name

If neither the date of birth nor the date of death of the person is available to distinguish one access point from another (see 9.19.1.3), add a fuller form of the person’s name (see 9.5).

Optional Addition

Add a fuller form of name even if there is no need to distinguish between access points. Add the fuller form of name before the date of birth and/or death, if applicable.

Subfield $c (Astronomer) added to break conflict with Müller, Isolde (n 91124165)

RDA allows this addition to the authorized access point:
