How do we obtain LAC verification for Canadian Corporate headings?
If Canadian CIP information showing the LAC form of the heading is not available in the item, you may search OCLC to find headings formulated by LAC on LAC-issued bibliographic records and use these as authority in your 670 • 670 $a OCLC [date] $b (LAC hdg: ……. usage: …….) Alternatively, you may search the LAC authority file in the AMICUS database. Note that it is not necessary to search all these sources. If the corporate name heading is not found in one of these source or if the corporate name varies from the form on the item being cataloged NACO catalogers should: • Create an NAR for the heading. • Notify LAC using the form found at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/LAC-nacohdgform.html Return to questions • How can we tell if a bibliographic record has been issued by LAC? LAC-issued bibliographic records contain the MARC organization code “CaOONL” or the OCLC code “NLC” in subfield $a and subfield $c of the 040 field.
