OBERLIN LCRI CUMULATED 24-14
rev. 12-10
24.4B:CSB115
Names not conveying the idea of a corporate body
Art Galleries
If the name of an art gallery needs a general designation qualifier and
24.5C is not applicable, use the term "(Gallery)" as a qualifier rather than a more
specific term such as "(Art Gallery)." (Do not use "(Gallery)" as a qualifier for an art
museum needing a general designation qualifier.) Note: Do not change existing AACR 2-
coded headings for art galleries solely to conform to this directive.
Consultant Firms
If the name of a consultant firm consists solely of subject words and the
word "consultants" (or its equivalent in other languages), add a 24.4B-type qualifier to
the name (unless 24.5C is applicable). Do not add such a qualifier if the name contains
other elements.
Initialisms and Acronyms
110 2# $a Hospital Maintenance Consultants (Firm)
If the name chosen for the heading for a corporate body is an initialism or
acronym written in all capital letters (with or without periods between them), add a
qualifier to the name (unless 24.5C is applicable). Generally do not add such a
qualifier when the capitalized form is used in a see reference, unless it is required to
break a conflict with the 1XX heading on another record, cf. LCRI 26.1.
Multiple Qualifiers
110 2# $a CAST (Group)
410 2# $a C.A.S.T.
111 2# $a CAV (Conference)
If the name is eligible for another qualifier (as when the name conflicts or
when the body is a directly entered government agency that is not an institution), add
the qualifier called for in this rule first. Separate the qualifiers by a space-colonspace.
Performing Groups
110 2# $a Red Sea (Restaurant : Washington, D.C.)
110 2# $a BANAS (Organization : Indonesia)
In dealing with performing groups, apply the following:
1) If the name contains a word that specifically designates a performing
group or a corporate body in general (e.g., band, consort, society) or contains a
collective or plural noun (e.g., Ramblers, Boys, Hot Seven), do not add a designation to
the name.
2) If the name is extremely vague, consisting primarily of single, common
words (e.g., Circle, Who, Jets) or the name has the appearance of a personal name (e.g.,
Jethro Tull), add a designation to the name.
