Associated Institutions

NACO Training, Module 4, Slide 66

Record associated institutions as separate elements, as parts of access points, or as both.

RDA 11.5: “Record the name of an associated institution in the form and language recorded as the preferred name for the institution."

Associated Institution is a Core element [in AAP only] if:

  • Conferences: Institution provides better identification than place name
  • Other corporate bodies: Needed to distinguish and provides better identification than place name
