[Heb-NACO] generic name title authorities?

[Nancy Sack]

There is a proposal by the National Library of New Zealand to the JSC 
"to clarify the situations in which a conventional collective title must 
be assigned to works by a single author." You can read the proposal and 
comments here: http://www.rda-jsc.org/working2.html#chair-615.

The British Library actually opposes the proposal because it believes 
"that the existing wording [of RDA 6.2.2.10] is adequate. A compilation 
of works “known by a title that is used in resources embodying that 
compilation or in references works” makes it clear that a title used on 
the resource should be preferred to a conventional collective title."

That's the way I've been interpreting the RDA instruction as well.
