Subjects

Per the Library of Congress, "Proposals for new subject headings that are based on an authorized heading from the NAF... should reflect the heading at the time the proposal is submitted. Policy specialists will revise the proposal during the approval process if necessary."

Local policies (in development)

Attach holding to existing shared bib record, when available, even if record was cataloged according to an earlier code.
Alternatives to sentence case for title are acceptable for copy cataloging.
All name and series authorized access points included on FUG PCC RDA originals should represent RDA authorities. As needed, authority records should be revised and recoded to RDA.
Additional attributes for authorized access points not needed to resolve a conflict may be added if readily available.

Format teams

Goals: review rules governing format, create practice records, provide one-on-one and/or group instruction utilizing existing training as desired
