Romanization

Generally speaking, the PFAN prefers to use current ISO romanization standards. These internationally-accepted standards normally make it possible for the user to reverse the romanization; automatic data processing is also possible.

However, for some languages or scripts, it sometimes happens that no ISO standard is available, as in the case of Inuktitut, or that the relevant ISO standard ignores some essential linguistic elements or some important aspects of romanization, such as reversibility of the operation. For instance, the ISO transliteration table for Armenian does not include letters used with a numerical value; for this reason, the BnF table (used as a basis for the ISO standard) has been preferred. The following table shows which romanization standard has been chosen for each individual language.

These were all individually selected; in each case, the goal is always to allow for a standard transliteration which is both reversible and as complete as possible.

Non-exhaustive List of Verifications to Make to an Existing Record

General Information

  • Verify that the characters used are only those in the MARC 8 character set.
  • Generally, the information must be provided in French. When information quoted in field 670 comes from a source in a language other than French, the Guide asks cataloguers to “generally translate the information into French, in an informal manner, summarizing as appropriate”. If the existing record was originally created by LAC in English, or if it is a migrated record derived from a record that was originally in English, fields 670 and 675 can remain in English but it must be ensured that the information recorded in other fields is in French. It is understood that all information in English will not necessarily have an equivalent in French. This would be the case, for example, for terms belonging to a controlled vocabulary for which there is no French version. In this case, the information must be deleted.
Field Verification
008 Verify that the coding is correct. For names (except name-title series), verify that the coding complies with the instructions relating to field 008: names (except name-titles series).

Position 10 (Descriptive cataloging rules) : must be changed to "z". Note: When 008/10 is changed to "z" (Other), a field 040 $e rda is automatically added. The reverse is not true.

Position 39 (Source of cataloging): the value initially recorded in this field is retained; do not modify this value when updating a record, except if the initial value was incorrect. The initial value is incorrect if it is not " " [blank] for a record created originally by LAC, BAnQ or LC (symbol CaOONL, CaQMBN or DLC in field 040 $a) or "c" (Cooperative cataloguing program) for a record created originally by an university or NACO participant (symbol for the university or NACO participant appearing in field 040 $a).

010 Delete this field if it is present.
016 If there is no Canadiana number, verify in the LC field if the same entity is represented by an authority and if it contains a Canadiana number (it is possible to refine the search by using cs:caoonl). If yes, add this number to the record by changing the language code E at the end of the field to the code F (or by adding the code if it is absent).

If there is a Canadiana number but it does not end with the language code F, add this code to the end of the number.

024 Verify the coding (in particular subfields $0 and $1 for URIs).
035 Never delete a field 035.
040 Do not modify codes in subfields $a, $c and $d. If an error message during record validation indicates an inconsistency between field 040 and field 008/39, change the value in field 008/39 to make it consistent with the code in 040 $a rather than changing this code.

Exception: When updating an authority record coded FrPBN in 040 $a, recode subfield $a to the PFAN institution code contributing the record, which is present in subfield $c. Position 008/39 should be coded c.

Ensure that subfield $e rda is present, after having verified that field 1XX, fields 4XX and fields 5XX comply with RDA.

043 This field cannot be used in records for geographic names (records with field 151). Delete this field in other cases such as when the record contains an occurrence of field 100, 110, 111 or 130.
053 Ensure that classification numbers for class PS8000 are moved to field 065 and that field 053 is deleted.
Example:
053 #4 PS8539.R47 $5 CaOONL
becomes
065 ## PS8539.R47 $2fcps $5CaOONL

Be sure to add a period between the classification number and the Cutter if one exists.

Example:
053 #4 PS8595 I5834 $5 CaOONL
becomes
065 ## PS8595.I5834 $2 fcps $5 CaOONL

Caution: Field 053 remains valid for LC classification numbers (PA-PT), including the classification numbers PQ3900-3919.3 for French-Canadian literature, the classification numbers PR9180-9199.4 for English-Canadian literature and classification numbers PS1-3626 for American literature.

083 BAnQ records that were loaded into Canadiana and that contain this field do not contain subfield $2, which prevents the record from being saved. To be able to save the record, change the value in the first indicator to 7 and add subfield $2 23 before subfield $5 CaQMBN.

Exemple :

083 04 C841.6 C439 $5 CaQMBN
becomes
083 74 C841.6 C439 $2 23 $5 CaQMBN
1XX If the record is not RDA compliant, correct the access point if necessary to make it RDA compliant.

If field 100 contains the term époque in subfield $d, replace it with the term activité, regardless of whether the record is AACR2 or RDA coded. Add a field 400 containing the former access point and the subfield $w nnea.

4XX If the record is not RDA compliant, correct the access points if necessary to make them RDA compliant.

Add missing dates in field 400 when field 100 contains dates (LAC has had a policy in the past not to add dates systematically.)

Delete non-compliant $w subfields. In particular,

  • delete all occurrences of subfield $w containing only a single code (for ex. $w d)
  • delete all occurrences of subfield $w containing only two codes if the codes are not "nh" (for ex. $w na).

For more information about subfield $w, see the Manual - MARC 21 Supplement, section 4XX.

5XX If the record is not RDA compliant, correct the access points if necessary to make them RDA compliant, which involves upgrading the authorities attached to the access points.

In the case of a name change for a corporate body, the 5XX fields should link the corporate body in field 1XX only to the immediately preceeding and immediately succeeding entities. Delete all 5XX fields for an entity that preceeds the immediately preceeding entity or succeeds the immediately succeeding entity. For example, in the case of corporate body A which becomes B, which becomes in turn C, the authority for entity A should not contain a 5XX field for entity C and the authority for entity C should not contain a 5XX field for entity A.

663 Ensure that the wording of the note complies with the most recent practice (see: FAQ – LC-PCC practice for creating NARs for persons who use pseudonyms (PFAN documentation) (PDF, 829 KB)).
665 This field is not permitted in Canadiana. If possible, transfer the biographical or historical information to a 678 field and delete the 665 field.

Example:

151 Viernyï (Kazakhstan)
665 Fondée en 1854, cette ville a porté le nom de Viernyï jusqu'en 1921. Elle s'appelle maintenant Alma-Ata. Comme auteur, on utilise : Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan) ; Viernyï (Kazakhstan). Comme vedette-matière, on utilise : Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan).

In this example, only the first two phrases can be transferred to a 678 field. The two other phrases are not retained. As the access point is not valid as a subject heading, it is necessary to consider adding the following note in field 667:

667 ## $a UTILISATION COMME VEDETTE-MATIÈRE : Ce point d'accès ne peut pas être employé comme vedette-matière. Les œuvres sur ce lieu se trouvent sous Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan).
667 Ensure that the contents of this field are general enough to be pertinent to cataloguers in other institutions. If not, delete the field.

Examples of 667 fields to delete:

667 Corpus UL

667 UQAC-AU. $5 CaQCU

667 Pour le 055, utiliser PS8623.

BAnQ: Before sending records to OCLC, ensure that all of the 667 fields have been copied into field 899 in Portfolio to preserve their contents in the event that local content is deleted by another PFAN participant, except fields 667 beginning with one of the following expressions: "En subdivision :", "Ne pas utiliser en subdivision" and "UTILISATION COMME VEDETTE-MATIÈRE :". If the content of a 667 field copied into field 899 is no longer pertinent for BAnQ, consider also deleting the corresponding 899 field in Portfolio.

Delete the 667 field containing "CETTE NOTICE VERSÉE EN LOT DOIT ÊTRE ÉVALUÉE AVANT D'ÊTRE UTILISÉE, POUR S'ASSURER QU'ELLE RÉPONDE AUX NORMES DU PFAN" after finalizing the record.

670 If the existing record was originally created by LAC in English, or if it is a migrated record derived from a record that was originally in English, it is not necessary to translate the field into French, as the case may be.

It is generally not necessary to modify an existing 670 field except in cases provided in the FAQ for field 670 (Source data found) in the name authority record for NACO.

675 If the existing record was originally created by LAC in English, or if it is a migrated record derived from a record that was originally in English, it is not necessary to translate the field into French, as the case may be.

Occurrences of subfield $a following the first occurrence must be preceeded by a semi-colon, space. Add this punctuation if it is missing.

Delete any $a subfield that cites the Canadian authority file (ex. Autorités Canadiana) without accompanying this citation with a consultation date.

678 Ensure that the contents of the field truly consist of biographical or historical, that it is appropriate for public viewing, and that it is supported by sources given in a 670 field. For further information, see the Name Authority Manual, section 678.
7XX Delete this field if subfield $2 lacnaf is present.

Non-exhaustive List of Qualifiers

The non-exhaustive list of qualifiers comprises a series of terms to be used when an RDA instruction requires an added element to distinguish or specify an access point that represents a person, a corporate body or a work (for example, RDA 9.19.1.6).

The following list is a selection of terms whose use is encouraged by the Standards Committee to ensure the consistency of name authorities when a choice between several possible terms must be made. When you have the choice between two terms, give preference to the terms in this list. For example: "Organisme", rather than "Organisation".

This is not a closed list and suggestions are welcome: pfan-fnap@bac-lac.gc.ca.

* Lecturer

According to the Cambridge dictionary, the term lecturer designates a person who teaches at a college or university, in Anglo-Saxon countries.

Ex. : Lecturer in psychology

This title corresponds to different cases in reality depending on the country where it is used. It would be desirable to use the equivalent French term in relation to what the title represents in the educational system where the author holds the title of lecturer.

Suggestions of French equivalents

  • For an author in France who is designated as being "un maître de conférences", use (Maître de conférences)
    • According to the Larousse dictionary, the title used by professors of the first rank of the second class of the teaching faculty of universities in France. Equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon term lecturer according to Wikipedia.
  • For an author in Europe who is designated as being a lecturer, use (Maître de conférences) or (Professeur d'université)
  • For an author who is designated as a lecturer in Australia, use (Professeur d'université)
  • For an author who is designated as a lecturer in the United Kingdom, use (Maître de conférences) or (Professeur d'université)
  • For an author who is designated as a lecturer in the United States, use (Professeur d'université) or (Chargé de cours)
  • For an author who is designated as a lecturer in Canada, use (Chargé de cours)

When in doubt about which French equivalent to use, consult the List of academic ranks de Wikipédia in particular for the countries not mentioned above.

Lastly, note that a senior lecturer is more of a "professeur associé" than a "chargé de cours".

Procedures for Duplicates

Step 1: Selection
Situation 1: Duplicates between migrated records, and LAC records which existed before the migration (June, 2 2020). Choose the authority record to retain when there are duplicates by following the following order of priority:

  1. Prefer a record that already has a 016 field over one that does not.
  2. Prefer a LAC record over a record from BAnQ or universities.
      3. Note for PFAN: If there is more than one LAC record amongst the duplicate records, inform LAC; send LAC the OCLC record numbers, by email, to the following address : pfansuppression-deletionfnap@bac-lac.gc.ca mentioning in the subject line: Doublons de BAC. LAC will determine which record should be kept, and will replace the record(s) to be deleted. If the duplicate records also include records from other participants, simply follow Steps 2 and 3 below, once LAC has identified which record will be retained.
      Note for LAC: If there are more than one LAC records among the duplicates, the cataloguer has to determine which record will be kept, and he/she must delete the other records. The oldest record will usually be preferred. Do not forget to do any bibliographic file maintenance (including the LBD), as required.
  3. Prefer a record from BAnQ over a record from universities. Note for PFAN and LAC : University records have a code other than CaOONL or CaQMBN in field 040 $a.
  4. Prefer an RDA record over a non-RDA record.
  5. Prefer a more complete record over one that is less complete.
    6. Example 1:
    Record 1 comes from LAC and has a 016 field but is not RDA compliant; record 2 comes from BAnQ and is RDA compliant. Record 1 from LAC is retained because criteria 1 and 2 have priority over criterion 4.
    Example 2:
    Record 1 comes from BAnQ and is not RDA compliant; record 2 comes from a university but is RDA compliant and more complete. Record 1 from BAnQ is retained because criterion 3 has priority over criteria 4 and 5.
    Example 3:
    Record 1 comes from a university and is not RDA compliant; record 2 comes from another university but is RDA compliant although less complete. Record 2 is retained because criterion 4 has priority over criterion 5.

Situation 2: Duplicates between an LAC records which existed before the migration (June 2, 2020), or a migrated record, and any new record created in Canadiana on or after June 2nd, 2020.
Keep the pre-June 2nd, 2020 LAC record, or the migrated record, following the order of priority outlined above (under Situation 1). Follow steps 2 and 3.

Situation 3: Duplicates between any new records created in Canadiana on or after June 2nd, 2020.
Keep the first record (the older one), according to the date entered on file, in field 008 (character positions 00-05). Follow steps 2 and 3.

Step 2 : Modifications
Record to be retained
PFAN et BAC

  1. Update the preferred record.
  2. Make the following modifications to the record to be retained:
    1. If the record to be deleted contains a 016 field, copy the Canadiana number from the record to be deleted into sub-field $z of field 016 in the record to be retained. Do not add the code F to the end of a Canadiana number transferred into the record to be retained if one does not exist.

      2. Exemple :

      016 ## 1026F7926F $z 1030B8987


    2. If the record to be deleted contains a 035 field with the symbol CaQQLA and a field 373 with the mention Université Laval, copy the information from both fields into the record to be retained. Do not copy a 035 field with any other symbol.

      3. Example :

      035 ## (CaQQLA)XX4513984


    3. Copy into the record to be retained all information or fields present in the record to be deleted and judged to be useful to retain.

Record(s) to be deleted
 PFAN

  1. Make the following modifications to the record(s) to be deleted:
    1. Add a 667 field containing the note "Notice doublon, signalée pour suppression car remplacée par [numéro Canadiana de la notice à conserver] ([date]). »
      2. Exception: Use the OCLC control number when the Canadiana numbers in the record to be retained and the record to be deleted are identical.
    2. If there is no 016 field, add one using the number 0000X0000F. This is a generic number intended to be used in all duplicate records to be deleted that do not contain a Canadiana and only in these records. Adding this number is necessary so that the record can be saved.
    3. If there is already a field 016 with a Canadiana number, do not change field 016.

_____
BAC : Does not apply. Proceed to step 3.

Step 3 : Deletion
PFAN :

  1. Do not notify LAC regarding records to be deleted identified by the generic number 0000X0000F. They will be replaced by the record identified in a note 667.
  3. Notify LAC regarding records to be deleted that have a unique Canadiana number XXXXAXXXX(F) by communicating the OCLC control number by email to pfansuppression-deletionfnap@bac-lac.gc.ca with subject line: Doublons avec 016 valide.

_____
LAC: The LAC cataloguer will delete the records we are not keeping. Please make sure to use the function “Supersede / Mark for deletion”, under the “Record” tab, and not the function “Delete”.
_____
Note for PFAN and LAC:For undifferentiated records, see the instructions in section 008/32 Undifferentiated personal name in the Name Authority Manual.

Procedures for records derived from LC/NAF

This procedure explains the changes to be made to an LC/NAF authority record when deriving it from the Canadiana file to create a new record.

1XX
  • The authorized access point does not need to be identical to the LC/NAF access point. The same entity may have two different or two identical access points in the two files.
Note : In LC/NAF, some records are coded “RDA compatible”. These are records which are coded AACR2, but where the authorized access point would be constructed in the same way according to RDA and according to any relevant LC-PCC PS. Just as they would do for any new access point being established in Canadiana, which has to conform to RDA, PFAN cataloguers must make sure to evaluate the access point and to code the record RDA. “Evaluate” means that the cataloguer will check the usage(s) as recorded in the 670 field(s) in the authority record, and will evaluate that the authorized access point is exact based on the usage recorded in the bibliographic records.
  • If the year of birth or year of death are known, the cataloguer will always add them to the access points, when creating a new authority record.
3XX
  • All 3XX fields must be translated.
670
  • The first 670 should be citing the resource in hand being catalogued by the PFAN cataloguer (even if this resource is quoted in the derived record).
  • Do not retain a 670 field if the resource quoted is not consulted by the PFAN cataloguer.
  • Combine into a single 670 field all the 670 fields from the record being derived which are not retained. This 670 field may also include information from fields 046 and 3XX.
    • Combine the most important information into a single 670 field, in French..
    • Example : 670 ## LC/NAF, [date of the search] $b(point d'accès : [access point]; [other data])
  • Note : It is possible to record, in field 672, any title associated with the AAP and cited in any 670 field, if deemed important to identify the entity represented by the AAP.

Procedure for partial modification of records describing works and expressions

When an authorized access point for a personal name is modified, it may happen that it then no longer matches the access point for that person as used in the access points representing works and expressions, already present in Canadiana. For instance, it may happen that an access point for a person is modified to add the death date, but that the access points for that person's works and expressions include only the person's birth date. It may also happen that a cataloguer is revising the access point for a personal name, in an authority record that was batch-loaded, but some access points for works and expressions, by this person, include a different form of name.

A PFAN cataloguer may then do some partial modifications to the records for works and expressions associated with that person, according to the following instructions:

Conditions:

  1. Applying this procedure is not mandatory, it is entirely up to the participant.
  2. This procedure only applies when, in an authorized access point for a work or expression, the name part is a personal name, and the form of this name does not match the AAP in the person's authority record.
  3. The access points representing the person's works and expressions may be modified only in part, or completely – that is, the cataloguer may evaluate only the name part, or both the name part and the title part. The procedure below applies only for those cases when the access point is modified only partially. If the entire access point is verified [validated], then the entire record has to be evaluated – that is, it has to be revised in order to be RDA compliant, and it has to follow PFAN standards. In that case, please consult the following document : List of Verifications to Make to an Existing Record.
  4. 4. In case of duplicate records, this procedure only applies to the records that are retained. Any duplicate records should be reported for deletion, according to the Procedures for Duplicates.

Procedure:

  1. Modify the person's access point in the authority record for that person, making sure that the record is RDA compliant and follows all PFAN standards..
  2. Partially modify the records representing the person's works and expressions, that is, modify the « Name » part of the access point, without editing the rest of the access point or any other existing field. It is not mandatory to modify all the records representing the person's works and expressions:
    1. Update the “personal name” part of the Authorized Access Point, in the records representing the person's works and expressions, so that the name is identical to the name in the authority record representing the person. Make sure that the update is done both in the 100 field and in any existing 400 fields.
    2. b. If the record includes the 667 note "CETTE NOTICE VERSÉE EN LOT DOIT ÊTRE ÉVALUÉE AVANT D'ÊTRE UTILISÉE, POUR S'ASSURER QU'ELLE RÉPONDE AUX NORMES DU PFAN", keep the note, and proceed as follow:
      1. Add the generic Canadiana number 1111X1111F in field 016. Please note that this generic number will have to be replaced by a unique number when the record is assessed at a later point, at which time the 667 note mentioned above will be deleted.
      2. Add the following 667 note:
        667 $a CETTE NOTICE A FAIT L'OBJET D'UNE MODIFICATION PARTIELLE. LE NUMÉRO CANADIANA GÉNÉRIQUE 1111X1111F DANS LA 016 DOIT ÊTRE REMPLACÉ PAR UN NUMÉRO UNIQUE LORSQUE LA NOTICE EST ÉVALUÉE.
  3. If the record does not include the note « CETTE NOTICE VERSÉE EN LOT DOIT ÊTRE ÉVALUÉE AVANT D'ÊTRE UTILISÉE, POUR S'ASSURER QU'ELLE RÉPONDE AUX NORMES DU PFAN », then update the name part of the access point, without making the changes described under 2b).
  4. Do not add a cross-reference to the former access point (either with a subfield $w nne or $w nnea). Please note that such a cross-reference could be required, for instance in cases where the former access point was RCAA2, when the authority record is reassessed, at a later stage, and the 667 note " CETTE NOTICE VERSÉE EN LOT DOIT ÊTRE ÉVALUÉE AVANT D'ÊTRE UTILISÉE, POUR S'ASSURER QU'ELLE RÉPONDE AUX NORMES DU PFAN " is deleted. At that point, the cross-reference to be added is the former access point which displayed in field 1XX before the record was reassessed.
