    Name: Deborah Tomaras on Nov 3, 2010
    Institution/Library (optional; will display): New York Public Library
    Comments (optional; will display): I believe that RDA testers should always use an existing authority record unless it is blatantly unusable by RDA rules--and this does NOT include "oh I just want to add the dates or fuller forms because they are now known". If there are no conflicts and the heading is compatible, please respect the integrity of the authority file, and its vital importance for patron recall.

    Name: Lauren Noel on Nov 3, 2010
    Institution/Library (optional; will display): Columbia College Library
    Comments (optional; will display): To quote Deborah Tomares, NACO Coordinator at NYP: If we undermine authority control, as is being done in this RDA test, we are compromising one of cataloging's great strengths, what we point to when asserting that library catalogs are "better than Google" for searching and retrieval. It would seem to me more prudent to always use existing authority headings if they are found (adding the 70014 for RDA in the authority record for future potential usage), and only use RDA headings in bibliographic records (and create them in the authority file) if there are none already existent.

    Institution/Library (optional; will display): Texas State University-San Marcos
    Comments (optional; will display): My opinion only, not that of my institution. These are practical changes which should help all non-RDA participants to continue their usual cataloging and authority workflows, which involve OCLC WorldCat records, without further disruption. The needs of the many should be upheld over the desires of the few but powerful. They are small changes which can be made at this point, as the test is only 1/3 into its full 3 month period.

    Comments (optional; will display): My opinion only and not representative of any HELIN member library or the organization in general. As authority control coordinator for our consortial catalog, having conflicting authority records in our authorities database will trigger global changes which will need to be blocked or redone if RDA does not become the 'law of the land.'

    Institution/Library (optional; will display): Center for Research Libraries
    Comments (optional; will display): While I had a positive experience attending a recent training session at an RDA testing institution, the intended "permanence" of these test records still concerns me. Acceptance or rejection of RDA after testing and evaluation should be as objective as possible. I believe a parallel record approach, if implementable, would remove any perception that RDA is a "done deal."
