I got the new macrobook installed. One thing is puzzling. When I start applying the fields one by one and save it, I cannot add lines to the record, such as a 4XX. This happened happened when I did a trial run with John. I looked a the tools and manage macrobooks and got a drop down menu asking me if I wanted to stop (apparently recording). It just happened again when I was creating an Arabic name. I don't think I hit any wrong buttons. Stay tuned. I may have more news later about this, who knows? </pre> Gene Fieg 2013-06-19T23:44:39 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.autocat/54586 <pre>Subject: Call for Vice-Chair and Board Members for Authority Control Interest Group The ALA LITA/ALCTS Authority Control Interest Group is looking for a volunteer to serve as Vice Chair for the 2013-2014 term (2014 Midwinter and Annual conferences).

The word انقلاب means revolution in Persian and it is transliterated as Inqilāb. The Sipāh-i Pāsdārān-i Inqilāb-i Islāmī began as the voluntary army after the Iranian Revolution. That were also played an essential role during the Iran-Iraq war. The information in the Wikipedia is not incorrect, references in both records point to the same corporate body, but the transliteration is problematic in 010 n2012044237 Sipāh-i Pāsdārān-i Ubqilāb-i Islāmī (Iran).
