Addition of Dates to Personal Name Headings
This announcement was made on AUTOCAT. You should have seen it there, I'm reposting just in case you missed it.
One message that was very clear from the correspondence is that a change to the current policy is indeed needed. Once a management decision is made as to what that change should be and how to best proceed, CPSO will be issuing an announcement and posting a summary of the responses and our analysis. We expect that any decision in association with dates in existing headings, etc. will result in the revision of LCRI 22.17, and we will post that revision for a 30-day comment period with implementation of the new policies to follow shortly thereafter.Barbara B. Tillett, Chief, CPSOAuthorities
