Can I ‘evaluate’ non-Latin script references on name authority records?
A13. Not until guidelines for the evaluation of references are developed, after many of the issues found in the NACO Non-Latin White Paper have been resolved. Once reference evaluation guidelines are developed, techniques to indicate which non-Latin script references have been evaluated using field 667 (Nonpublic general note) will be issued, as it is unlikely that records with non-Latin references in several languages and scripts can all be evaluated by the same cataloger. Until reference evaluation guidelines are published, all name authority records with non-Latin script references should contain 008/29 (Reference evaluation) value ‘b’ (Tracings are not necessarily consistent with the heading).
