<P> </P>
<P>If the date of birth was not cited in the 670s and did not appear in the resources of the existing RDA NAR, then the heading would be established without the date of birth. Catalogers are not expceted to do extra research to find a date of birth unless there is a need to break a conflict.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If however, if the date of birth comes up later but no other changes to the NAR are being made, then the date of birth would not be added to the heading. We would record the date of birth in a 670 for the new source of information that is being added to the extant RDA NAR and then we can go ahead and record the information in the 046 field. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>If you are going to add the date of birth to the 046 field, you can go ahead and any other relevant information to 3xx fields that are available in the NAR or the new resource. You will find many existing RDA headings that do not have the new 37x fields or 046 field in them. Up until recently, PCC had not issued any statements on whether or not these fields should be included in an RDA authority record and many institutions chose not to include them since they were optional, until PCC made a formal statement.</P>
<P> </P>

<DIV>I guess we are not adding the subfield "d" to 1XX - not to change the heading if there is no conflict</DIV>
