== Are we expected to change the authorized access points for an agent’s works and expressions (such as authorized access points for an author’s or a composer’s works), if the preferred form for the agent alone is different from the form used in the access points for the works and expressions? ==
This situation is likely to happen when we delete duplicate authority records for an agent, in Canadiana. Applying the Procedure for duplicates may result in cases where the authorized access point for the author becomes different in the personal authority record and in the authority records for this author’s works and expressions. Although this situation is far from ideal, PFAN does not require cataloguers to modify all the authority records for works and expressions, to match the preferred form for the agent’s name, when they request that a duplicate record be deleted.
When the authority records for works and expressions are used, revised or updated, the access points for the agents, in those works and expressions records, will be modified, on an as-encountered basis, so that they are similar to the form use in the author’s personal authority record.
However, new authority records being created for works and expressions have to be created using the preferred form for the agent’s name.
