[Sca-librarians] "Mc" vs. "Mac"

[Carlson, Marc]

I seem to recall that when I was first learning Library stuff, we filed Mc and Mac together BEFORE the rest of the M's.  I don't think it really matters, as long as it's consistant.

Subject: [Sca-librarians] "Mc" vs. "Mac"

It's been "a few" years since I last had to alphabetize "Mc"s and "Mac"s in a bilbiography, and I was wondering what the current rule is.  Are the "Mc"s considered to be "Mac"s, or are they put under "Mc"?  (Frustrating memories of high school floating around here ... .)
