Evaluating form of name in the 1XX

If a heading is found in the LC/NAF that is not coded AACR2 (Descriptive cataloging rules fixed field 008/10 = c) or AACR2-compatible (Descriptive cataloging rules fixed field 008/10 = d), reevaluate the heading based on the work-in-hand and other sources.  Determine the AACR2 heading and which of the following cases applies:

1.   AACR2 heading would match the pre-AACR2 heading:

A.   If the AACR2 heading would be the same as the pre-AACR2 heading, make changes in the record so that it is fully in accord with current policy.

B.   Change the Descriptive cataloging rules fixed field 008/10 appropriately.

2.   AACR2 heading would not match the pre-AACR2 heading:

A.   Enter the AACR2 heading in the 1XX field.

B.   Make necessary changes to the record.

C.   Change the tags and other codes as necessary.  Change the Descriptive cataloging rules fixed field 008/10 appropriately.  Evaluate and adjust the cross references to reflect AACR2 practice, and code the Reference evaluation fixed field 008/29 appropriately.
