Richard & All, I’m also planning to do several days of NACO training later this month. I have downloaded the files and I hope I will be able to use them… However, when I started reviewing them I found that I would need to do significant work on the powerpoint presentation because the screen shots were too small to see. I do hate ‘reinventing the wheel’ so if you or someone else has already taken care of that problem, please get in touch with me.
We are all struggling with too much to do and learn… Mary Charles From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Moore, Richard Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 8:50 AM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: Re: [RDA-L] A date between 1310 and 1319 Mary Charles Thanks. I thought of the hyphen but can’t find an example in 9.3 that uses it. Though a corner of my mind is naggingl certain that I’ve seen it somewhere. We are planning on making our training materials available on the Internet, soon: I’m updating them at the moment for another round of training. In the meantime, everything in them is covered in the BL Guide to RDA Name Authority Records, which is in the RDA Toolkit, under Tools-Workflows-Global Workflows.

I can see your $d as: 1310?/1319?- or as: 1310/1319?- I originally put it as 1310-1319?- But that looks like the person may have only lived 9 years. The problem is one of training and consistency… fewer options make it much easier to train and have consistent records. Thanks for raising concerns as you encounter them, On another issue: Since LC’s materials for training are ‘down’, do you have the materials you have created available ‘somewhere’? Mary Charles Lasater Vanderbilt From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Moore, Richard Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 7:57 AM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA<mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA> Subject: [RDA-L] A date between 1310 and 1319 We have an author whose birth date is known to be between 1310 and 1319. We can record it in the 046 following edtf, but how would people deal with it in an RDA authorized access point? RDA 9.3.1.3 doesn’t have an example of “between 1310 and 1319”, but should this mean we can’t do it? It’s as comprehensible as “approximately”. If it’s considered unlawful then do people think it would be a useful addition to propose?
