Backstage - RDA vs AACR2 Authority Matching (Update)
Over the last couple of years, Backstage created 7 different options for matching AACR2 access points and RDA access points in special ways. Then we started whittling that down as certain functionality became outdated or moot (e.g., 7XX-4 fields being "absorbed" into the authorities as 4XX fields instead). As of a month ago, we were down to two options. With RDA Day One already come and gone (April 1, 2013), we are now down to one option: 1. A bib record's access points will take the best match regardless of RDA (040 $e rda) or AACR2 status in the authority record. All of our clients have been "switched" to this new option for matching authorities, so there is no action required on your part in order to have this enacted. As always, please let us know any questions or concerns you may have. It is through you that we had developed the previous 7 options, as well as different ways of presenting the reports, and adding new options for RDA enrichment.
