I really think it looks great and will be veryhelpful. It makes much better sense to get rid <strong>of</strong> the authority rules, and to update for EAC etc. I do misssome <strong>of</strong> the examples though!If I can be so bold, I hope you don't mind if I make the following comments:Pg. 20. In the segment which has examples, beginning with "Graciany Miranda Archilla papers" --shouldn't the two new examples have titles as well. They are just corporate names and don't match theother examples which incorporate names with their titles.Pg. 21. Should the Bessye B. Bearden examples retain "papers" -- that example is mentioned later and ithas "papers"Pg. 37-38 Under "Sources <strong>of</strong> Information" section, the word "supplied" is used throughout -- should itbe "devised" as had been used previously in the documentPg. 124 Under "Authority Records" -- the word "definition" is misspelledThank you!NancyGordon,I haven’t had time to go all the way through this, but just glancing at 9.5 (authorized form <strong>of</strong> the name),first, the file isn’t called “Library <strong>of</strong> Congress Authorities,” it’s called the LC/NACO Authority File, andsecond, if archival catalogers intend to continue contributing to the LC/NACO authority file (and Icertainly hope they do), after March 31, 2013 only RDA can be used (not AACR2) to create or updateauthority records. I’d recommend dropping the reference to AACR2.Action: DACS Revision Page 96 <strong>of</strong> 158 0113-II-A-DACS
