Conflict in place names is not restricted to those already represented in the file against which the searching and cataloging is being done. Instead, if there is no existing conflict in that file, search gazetteers, etc., to determine if two or more places within the same jurisdiction have the same name or if two or more places with the same name would bear the same qualifier for the larger place.

PLACES WITHIN CITIES, ETC.
LC practice/PCC practice: For places within cities, add the city in parentheses. Use the access point reflecting its current status for the entire period of the place within the city’s existence, including any earlier independent existence it may have had, provided the name remains constant (see RDA 11.3.3.4 and RDA 11.13.1.3). Consider making a variant access point from the name of the place within the city as a subheading of the name of the city. See Descriptive Cataloging Manual Z1 667 for providing notes indicating that the authorized access points for names of city sections, neighborhoods, districts, etc., are not appropriate for use as geographic subdivisions.

If the place within the city once had an independent existence but changed its name when it was absorbed into the larger place, create an authorized access point for each name.

CONSTRUCTING ACCESS POINTS TO REPRESENT PLACES
LC practice/PCC practice: The following instructions represent LC/PCC practice for the areas below.
Berlin
Use “Berlin, Germany” as the qualifier in authorized access points for corporate bodies.
Great Britain
Follow the British Library’s practice of using “Great Britain” as the conventional name for the government of the United Kingdom.
London
Use “London, England” as the qualifier in authorized access points for corporate bodies located in the City of London or in an inner borough. Also use “London, England” as the qualifier for a corporate body located in an outer borough if the body is commonly associated with London rather than with the name of the particular outer borough. (The inner London boroughs are Camden, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, and the City of Westminster.)
Taiwan
Use “China (Republic : 1949- )” as the authorized access point for the government of this name. Use “Taiwan” for the province of Taiwan only as a location qualifier.
U.S. Townships
For U.S. townships (called “towns” in some states) that encompass one or more local communities and the surrounding territory, apply RDA 16.2.2.8.1 to determine whether the term “township” or “town” should be included as part of the name. If such a term is not included in the name, add the term after the name of the state, etc. in the authorized access point. Generally consider U.S. townships listed in GNIS in the form “Township of” or “Town of” to fall under the first condition in RDA 16.2.2.8.1 and establish them without the first part of the name indicating a type of jurisdiction.

Consider making a variant access point for the form of name that includes the type of jurisdiction.
If there is more than one township with the same name in the same state, apply Policy Statement for 16.2.2.13.

AUTHORIZED ACCESS POINTS FOR THE PLACE
LC practice/PCC practice: The following instructions represent LC/PCC practice for the categories below.
Ambiguous Entities
For city sections, collective settlements, communes, conservation districts, jurisdictions, ancient places other than cities, park districts, recreation districts, sanitation districts, utility districts, and water districts, consult Descriptive Cataloging Manual, Z1.
, Z1.Military Installations
Treat military installations (forts, bases, camps, airfields, and Coast Guard stations but not shipyards) as local places.
Add as a qualifier the country, state, province, etc., that would have been added to a city or town in the same place, even if the installation is located outside the country that controls it.
Indian Tribes in the United States
Tribes recognized by the U.S. government are independent, autonomous political entities with inherent powers of self-government; they possess sovereignty and are equal to national governments. There are over 500 recognized tribes within the continental United States. Nearly all federally recognized tribes have jurisdiction over some delimited area of land, a geographic place, although land and area vary with each tribe.
Consult the official list created and maintained by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs to determine the preferred name for the tribe. The list of federally recognized tribes, entitled: Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs is available online at the Bureau's website at http://www.bia.gov/DocumentLibrary/index.htm. It may also be accessed through the Federal Register website. This source may be cited as “BIA Indian Entities.” If a name for a tribal entity is not found in the BIA list, conduct additional research and/or construct the authorized access point from information on the resource being cataloged.

This source may be cited as “BIA Indian Entities.” If a name for a tribal entity is not found in the BIA list, conduct additional research and/or construct the authorized access point from information on the resource being cataloged.Some tribes have federally-approved names that sound as if the name were for a populated place rather than a tribe. Confusion may result when there actually is a populated place of that name. In such cases, the tribe and the populated place are separate entities.

VARIANT ACCESS POINT FOR THE PLACE
Choice of Larger Place
LC practice/PCC practice: When adding the name of a larger place as a qualifier, use the current name of the larger place (see RDA 16.2.2.9-RDA 16.2.2.12), and apply Appendix B.11, as applicable. If the smaller place existed when the larger place had an earlier name, and the name in the resource pertains to the earlier period, consider recording a variant access point from the form that shows the earlier name of the larger place if the qualifier is appropriate for the smaller place.
