BNB name headings and their NACO equivalents
A project to support users of BNB records in managing the migration of their catalogues to MARC 21 providing:
Over 1300 frequent name headings occurring in the British National Bibliography (BNB) matched with headings established under the Name Authorities Co-operative (NACO) component of the Program for Co-operative Cataloguing (PCC) and intended for use in MARC 21 cataloguing.
The project is in four parts:
To the user, describing the selection method and presentation of headingsAlphabetical sequence of BNB and equivalent NACO headings showing if they are the same or different or if a NACO heading is not availableFrequency listing of headings according to how often they occur in BNB recordsStatistical analysis of the matching of BNB and NACO headings
Thanks Ian for pointing this out to me.
