Good point. [sic] or [i.e.] is a very useful notification that you should *not* fix a 'typo' in a transcribed field (because the typo was actually on the item). Under RDA you will have to look for a note to indicate that the typo was on the item. RDA 1.7.9 says "Make a note correcting the inaccuracy if it is considered to be important for identification or access"--We will all have to make a note to ourselves to remember to add this note for any inaccuracies, so that we don't merrily *fix* typos that should not be fixed. 2.20.

I am doing catalog maintenance today, and am working on typos. I happen to be in the "L" section this afternoon and am searching for "Lousian*." The presence of the [sic] is very helpful in determining which records I need to look at more closely. I believe I've read somewhere that "[sic]" will no longer be employed when we are using RDA - under the "record exactly what you see," dictum. Am I remembering this correctly? Kathleen F.
