broader, narrower, or related terms in addition to equivalents. I guess
adding equivalents is helpful, especially in a cooperative environment like
OCLC, but it does make for some pretty enormous records. Just another
example of “linked data” looking more like “repeated data.”

I actually had an issue with this recently because it was automatically putting Sex industry (homoit) on my records for 18th century German optical theatres–known in English (LCSH) as Peep shows. I wondered why and it is…[Read more]

records” really means. Were these searches on headings coded “homoit”? Even
if it just means that users used the focused terminology in keyword
searches, it’s pretty impressive that the searches executed almost doubled
between 2019 and 2024.

I tried a little more to get to the Policy
Statements for the Original RDA and did finally get there. Following paths
in the Toolkit rather than different ways to google what I was looking for.
Thank you again. I am amused that the PS is so close to the RI.

Yes, it appears with almost identical text in PS 11.2.2.5 for Different Forms of the Same Name (pasted below).

Btw, I think you can access the Policy Statements in the Original Toolkit without being logged in.

establish a university library by the library’s collective name rather than
the name of the main library building. For example, “Joseph S. Regenstein
Library of the University of Chicago” should be established under
“University of Chicago. Libraries.” See also “Yale University.…[Read more]
