26.2C. "See also" references


Names in the Refer From Line of a Cross Reference and in Established Headings are the Same:

For personal names (including any pseudonym), when the entire form in the first line of a reference and the entire form in an established heading are the same, attempt to resolve the conflict by additions to the name in the reference (cf. LCRI 22.17-22.20 ). If there are no data available to resolve the conflict, make a see also reference. This applies whether the cross reference is already int he file or is the result of the item being cataloged.

Example

See also References from Individuals to the Group:

When the ame of a group contains the name of one or more of its members, make a see also reference from the heading for each person to the heading for the group (but not from the group to the person).

LC practice: The Library of Congress is limiting this practice to collections of special materials (in lieu of making multiple added entries on individual bibliographic records) and to music performing groups, when the inforamtion is readily available and cataloging resources permit.

Note: Before 1995, references were also made from the group to the person. Do not delete such existing references.
