So, Gary, what is the proper behavior with these records in the authority file?

This very matter has been the subject of more than one e-mail to what I can only refer to as "offenders." In our current wild-West everyone-does-what-they-want world I doubt that anything except eternal vigilance on all of our parts can prevent this kind of improper behavior from adversely affecting our databases.

Haggadah English has a see-reference from Haggadah English & Hebrew. When this record hit our database, it turned all the entries for Haggadah English & Hebrew into entries for Haggadah English. I then went through and added the extra entry for Haggadah Hebrew. (hm... that may require some more thought) Does anyone know if this is the way NACO will be handling the RDA insistence on only one language in subfield l of title authority records? -- Adger Williams Colgate University Library 315-228-7310 awilli...@colgate.edu<mailto:awilli...@colgate.edu>
