[Heb-NACO] (no subject)

[Aaron Kuperman]

I suggest compiling a resource arranging the consensus reached on "best
practices" , which in RDA is a bit more complicated since RDA is more
flexible.  While presumably anything that is LC/PCC "core" needs to be
done that way, there is a lot of room for discretation, and if
catalogers don't exercise "cataloger judgement" is roughly the same way
on many points, copycat will become much more difficult.

practices" project involving AALL-the law library community)
