I took cataloging almost 30 years ago. I can remember my cataloging professor telling us that you file Mac and Mc together. McAlister, MacAndrew, McBane, McCone, MacDavid and then you filed names such as Maccarone, and Macomber. Is this correct or have the rules changed, or was it never a rule and I've lost my mind?
I'm not a librarian, but I thought that special treatment of the "mc" and "mac" names was considered obsolete when I was in college 35 years ago. Does anyone still treat them specially?
