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

[FV/Rafaella]

I remember from my pages test this rule from this source:
In the ALA Rules for Filing Catalog Cards, 2nd ed., names beginning with M', Mc, and Mac were all filed as if spelled Mac. (word-by-word)


but as someone else said, our ILS is letter-by-letter. This is currently in conflict with what my access services team does out on the floor (but it's not a big enough problem that I'm hell-bent to "solve" it cuz it would mean a lot of reshelving and we're at skeleton staff now...)

Thanks, everyone.  I had kind of figured out that it had changed, just from looking over some current bibliographies.  Even in high school, it did not make sense to me to consider "Mc" as spelled "Mac".
