I'm seeing a lot of records where 370 $c or $e has the following recorded:
Russia, Federation
Is there any reason why people are not recording this in the authorized
form of Russia (Federation)? Most of the records (and they are numerous)
were created by LC or U Chicago catalogers. I'm trying to figure out what
might cause a cataloger to record this place by replacing the parentheses
with a comma.
