<p><font face="Arial">Dear Erin,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"></font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial">I don't know about a campaign as such but as it happens Alan Danskin (British Library representative to the Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA (JSC)) told me a few weeks ago that JSC had discussed the issue a few years
ago in relation to jurisdictions and the UK Legal Deposit Libraries opposed a change from Great Britain to United Kingdom on grounds of cost.
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"></font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial">In response to the earlier discussion on the list about the 752 field, as far as the ESTC is concerned, we have always used the full hierarchy, i.e. "$aGreat Britain $b England $d London," and we intend to go on like this for now.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"></font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial">Kind regards,</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our practice is to use LC-NAF as our source for the 752, and to start with the top order political jurisdiction. Unfortunately, that means we end up with things like "752 $a Great Britain $b Northern Ireland $d Belfast" which is just plain
wrong. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe time for us to switch to the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names as our source?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Having our users search on "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and getting "See: Great Britain" as the result is embarrassing.</p>
