Section I - Simple 5XX "See Also" Cross References

Simple 5XX "See Also" Cross References (New Authority Records)

Personal Names:

A. (Cf. LCRI 22.2B and LCRI 26.2D) When a contemporary author uses one or more pseudonyms, create name authority records for each name and link them with 500 "see also" references. Generally, LC practice will be to prefer simple, individual "see also" references, but the cataloger-generated technique is available when explanatory references are required. For examples of the latter, see the section in this manual on the 663/664 Fields.

B. (From LCRI 26.2C) For personal names, 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, trace it as a 5XX reference, rather than a 4XX reference. This applies whether the cross reference already exists on an NAR or is being added to an NAR.

C. (From LCRI 26.2) When the name of a performing 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).

Corporate Names:

A. (Cf. LCRI 26.3B-C) When the relationship between two corporate names is not directly sequential or when information about the exact relationship is not known, make simple "see also" references between the related headings (as opposed to earlier/later cross references).

B. (From LCRI 26.3B-C) Connect headings for heads of state, ecclesiastical officials, etc., to the corresponding official heading with "see also" references instead of the explanatory reference called for in 21.4D2 and illustrated in 26.3C1.
