__TOC__
== May I reuse a Canadiana number? ==
You must never reuse a Canadiana number in a field 016 $a, if it’s already been attributed, even if it was previously attributed to an authority record that has since been deleted. If a Canadiana number has been reused by mistake, a new one should be assigned (see Question 2).
== What should I do if the same Canadiana number appears in two separate authority records? ==
If the same Canadiana number appears in two separate authority records in Canadiana, assign a new number in the most recent record (with the most recent date in field 008/00-05).
*The oldest authority record retains its Canadiana number (example: XXXXAXXXXF).
*A new Canadiana number should be attributed to the most recent record (example: YYYYAYYYYF) and the other number (XXXXAXXXXF) should be recorded in subfield $z in the same 016 field as the new number (recorded in $a).
== What do I do if the same entity has two different Canadiana numbers in the Canadiana file and in NACO? ==
If the same entity does not have the same Canadiana number in the Canadiana file and in NACO, please report this situation to: pfan-fnap@bac-lac.gc.ca.
