Named conferences
Under RDA a conference name need not contain a word that denotes a conference, to be considered named
LCRI 21.1.B1 has no equivalent in RDA or in the LC-PCC PS
• LCRI 21.1.B1:• “… when deciding whether a phrase is a name is that
the phrase must include a word that connotes a meeting: "symposium," "conference," "workshop," "colloquium," etc.”
Conferences 4
Named conferences
A named conference need only fulfill these RDA definitions
RDA 8.1.2Person, Family, and Corporate Body: “The term corporate body refers to an organization or group of persons and/or organizations that is identified by a particular name and that acts, or may act, as a unit.”
RDA 8.1.3Name:
“The term name refers to a word, character, or group of words and/or characters by which a person, family, or corporate body is known.”

Conferences 17
Individual conference name authority records
Used for a one-time conference:• International Conference on Fishing (2011 : Grimsby,
England) • CICA (Conference) (2011 : Hangzhou, China)
Used for a single instance of an ongoing (sequential) conference:• Conference on Bats (3rd : 1999 : Whitby, England)• BTR (Conference) (2nd : 2002 : University of New
Mexico) NARs now created for single instances of ongoing
conferences
Conferences 18
Individual conference name authority records
• Can contain references from variant names of a one-time conference:
• Examples:• 111 2# $a CICA (Conference) $d (2011 : $c Hangzhou,
China)• 411 2# $a International Conference on Computer,
Informatics, Cybernetics and Applications $d (2011 : $c Hangzhou, China)
• 411 2# $a CICA 2011 $d (2011 : $c Hangzhou, China)

Individual conference name authority records

University of New Mexico)• 411 2# $a Conference on the Unified Science &
Technology for Reducing Biological Threats & Countering Terrorism $n (2nd : $d 2002 : $c University of New Mexico)
• 411 2# $a BTR 2002 $d (2002 : $c University of New Mexico)
Conferences 20
Collective conference name authority records (LC-PCC PS 11.13.1.8
• Used for the whole series of an ongoing conference:
111 2# $a Conference on Bats 111 2# $a BTR (Conference)
Used by institutions who catalogue conference proceedings as serials
Should contain a 667 note per LC-PCC policy • 667 ##$a See also related access points for individual
instances of this conference which include specific information about the number, date, or place of the individual conference.
Conferences 21
Collective conference name authority records
• Variant forms of the name of the whole series of an ongoing (sequential) conference may be added to the collective NAR:
• Example:• 111 2# $a BTR (Conference)
• 411 2# $a Conference on the Unified Science & Technology for Reducing
• 411 2# $a Biological Threats & Countering Terrorism (Conference)
• Example:• 111 2# $a Bat Conference
• 411 2# $a BATS (Conference)
Conferences 22
Collective conference name authority records
• Make earlier and later relationships when a conference has changed its name:
• 111 2# $a Conference on Bats• 511 2# $w b $a Bat Conference
• Earlier and later relationships are only carried in the collective conference name authority records
• Note that PCC catalogers may use Appendix K relationship designators to relate names instead of earlier/later ($w a and $w b)
• 111 2# $a Conference on Bats• 511 2# $w r $i Successor: $a Bat Conference
Conferences 23
Guidelines on sequential conferences - Recap
• If an name authority record already exists for the collective conference name• i.e., without number, date or place
• If you need the individual conference - create an RDA name authority record for the individual conference
• If no name authority record exists for the collective conference name
• i.e. without number, date or place
• Create an RDA name authority record for the individual conference unless it is being cataloged as a serial
Conferences 24
Conflicts
A variant name access point may match another variant name access point
A variant name access point may not match an authorized name access point
An authorized name access point may not match another authorized name access point
Conferences 25
Conflicts
• An individual conference name access point is unlikely, itself, to conflict with another
• BTR (Conference) (2nd : 2002 : University of New Mexico)
• An collective conference name access point is more likely to conflict with another
• Conference on Fishing
Conferences 26

A collective conference name access point can be made unique with an RDA addition:
