2013-04-15 Thread Karen Benko
Hello all, Does anyone know if there is a way to set up Connexion so that when you *derive* a record, the system will supply field and subfield tags to support creation of an RDA record? I have Connexion set up so that when I create a new record, I am using an RDA workform, but now I want to

2013-04-15 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I see that the LC/NACO authority records for Koran have been changed to the form Qurʼan, with an alif. This is the correct Arabic transliteration of the word, but when we were doing the examples for RDA we were told by the JSC to use an apostrophe rather than an alif for all of our examples.

No they are different characters and in some fonts they do not display the same (even in OCLC you can see that they are different characters). If you search RDA in the RDA toolkit using the form found in the authority file (copy and paste), you get no results. If you use an apostrophe

If you search Quran, without the alif, you will get the heading with the alif. Am a little puzzled by the lack of finding anything at begins with an Ayn or alif. Would that require a skip character in the title of a 1, even though we put the ayn or alif after the letter involved? On Mon, Apr
