1. Cambridge University Library RDA Training – Module 3 Identifying Works Adapted for Cambridge use by Janet Davis

2. Acknowledgements This module, and the accompanying four, are based on the training given at the British Library, which is in turn developed from that used at the Library of Congress. We would like to express our thanks to both institutions for making their training materials available to us. 2

3. 3 Identifying works Naming the work Components of work authorised access points: Creators Preferred titles Additions Special categories of work: Parts of a work Single-creator compilations Multi-creator compilations Collaborative works

4. 4 Naming the work Generally, the instructions for identifying works (and expressions) are found in Chapter 6 Naming the work Just like naming persons, families and corporate bodies Similar to AACR2 concept of main entry Achieved via the creation of an authorised access point for the work: The standardised access point representing an entity

5. Authorised access points for works Every work must have a unique authorised access point Ensuring that there is no conflict between work a.a.p.s means that distinct works are kept separate within the catalogue E.g., enables differentiation of works with the same title All resources embodying the same work must be given the same work a.a.p. E.g., brings together all descriptions of resources embodying a work when various manifestations have appeared under various titles Use the a.a.p. whenever the resource is referred to in other access points (including subjects) or in notes citing relationships between resources 5

6. 6 Authorised access points for works - Construction 6.27.1.1 - 6.27.1.8 How to put together the elements to construct an authorised access point: Preferred title is the basis Authorised access point for the creator precedes the preferred title, if applicable Make any additions to the preferred title as instructed under 6.27.1.9

7. 7 Authorised access points for works - MARC MARC has four possibilities for where work a.a.p. information can be coded: 1XX + 240 1XX + 245 130 245

8. 8 Entities responsible for a work – Instructions Creator is a relationship to a work; it isnt an attribute of the work itself So we will find the instructions about creators in Chapter 19, not Chapter 6

9. 9 Entities responsible for a work – Sources RDA 19.1.1 Take information on persons, families, and corporate bodies associated with a work from: Preferred sources of information (RDA 2.2.2) in resources embodying the work Or, failing that: Other statements appearing prominently in the resource Information appearing only in the content of the resource Other sources

10. 10 Creator CORE ELEMENT RDA 19.2 A person, family, or corporate body responsible for the creation of a work E.g. Authors, artists, compilers, composers, photographers RDA Appendix I.2.1 for relationship designators

11. 11 >1 Creator If more than one entity is responsible for the work as a whole: The creator having principal responsibility named first in the resource is required If principal responsibility is not indicated, only the first- named creator is required Cambridge policy is to provide authorised access points for additional creators, unless unduly onerous For a collaboration between person(s) and a corporate body, consider the corporate body instructions first MARC: First creator 1XX; Subsequent creators 7XX 11

12. 12 Creator – Changes from AACR2 No Rule of Three to instruct us to identify the work only by its preferred title when there are more than three creators Knock-on effect on cuttering for some classification schemes A performer of works by different composers presented in a sound recording is not automatically considered a creator

13. 13 Compilers & modifiers as creators RDA 19.2.1.1 An entity responsible for compiling an aggregate work may be considered a creator of the compilation if the selection, arrangement, editing, etc., of content for the compilation effectively results in the creation of a new work An entity responsible for modifying a previously existing work in a way that substantially changes the nature or content of the original is considered a creator of the new work

14. Compilers & modifiers as creators - Examples Authorised access point representing the creator for: A bibliography of Sanskrit works on astronomy and mathematics Authorised access point representing the creator for: History of Angola. A new edition by W. Martin James, based on Susan H. Broadheads work with the same title RDA 6.27.1.5 100 1# $a Sen, S. N. $q (Samarendra Nath), $d 1918-1992, $e compiler. 100 1# $a James, W. Martin, $e author. 14

15. 15 Corporate bodies as creators Categories of works are given in RDA 19.2.1.1.1 (Similar to AACR2 21.1B2) Corporate body takes precedence over a first-named person or family as creator Cambridge policy is to follow LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1 (similar to LCRI for 21.21B2) RDA 19.2.1.1.2 covers government and religious officials as creators

16. Works of an administrative nature Dealing with any of the following aspects of the body itself: its internal policies, procedures, finances, and/or operations its officers, staff, and/or membership (e.g., directories) its resources (e.g., catalogues, inventories) Authorised access point representing the creator for: The constitution of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh 110 2# $a Asiatic Society of Bangladesh, $e author. 16

17. Works recording collective thought of body Authorised access point representing the creator for: The national conservation strategy for Zambia / prepared by the Government of the Republic of Zambia 110 1# $a Zambia, $e author. 17

18. Works reporting collective activity of conference, expedition, or event The conference, expedition, or event must be named in the resource being described NB The name can be anywhere on the resource: not necessarily located on the t.p., or even prominently Authorised access point representing the creator for: Papers given at the Working Conference on Stochastic Programming 111 2# $a Working Conference on Stochastic Programming $d (1983 : $c Gargnano, Italy) 18

19. Works resulting from collective activity of performing group Applied where the responsibility of the group goes beyond that of mere performance, execution, etc. Authorised access point representing the creator for: Songs of Freedom / Bucket of Witches. 110 1# $a Bucket of Witches (Musical group), $e composer. 19

20. Cartographic works originating with a corporate body Applied where the corporate body is responsible for more than just publication or distribution Authorised access point representing the creator for: The new Oxford atlas for Pakistan / all maps drawn by the Cartographic Unit, Oxford University Press ; editorial adviser, Fazle Karim Khan. 110 1# $a Oxford University Press. Cartographic Department, $e cartographer. 20

21. 21 A contributor is a person, family, or corporate body contributing to the realisation of a work through an expression E.g. editors, translators, illustrators, arrangers of music, performers, writers of commentary, etc. Chapter 20; Appendix I.3.1 Covered in Module 4 when we look at Expressions What about contributors?

22. 22 Title of the work - Terminology Title of the work (RDA 6.2.1.1) A word, character, or group of words and/or characters by which a work is known Preferred title for the work (RDA 6.2.2.1) The title or form of title chosen to identify the work... [and used as] the basis for the authorised access point representing that work Variant title for the work (RDA 6.2.3.1) A title or form of title by which a work is known that differs from... the preferred title The form used when constructing a variant access point

23. 23 Title of the work - Language & script RDA 5.4 tells us to Record titles for works in the language and script in which they appear on the sources from which they are taken The alternative says Record a transliterated form of the title either as a substitute for, or in addition to, the form that appears on the source Cambridge policy in authorised access points is to apply the alternative to give a romanised form May give original in additional 880 field Other attributes for a work are recorded in the language and script prescribed in the appropriate sections of Chapter 6

24. 24 Title of the work - Recording RDA 6.2.1 Capitalisation Numbers Diacritics Articles Spacing Abbreviations NB recording, not transcribing

25. 25 Preferred title for the work CORE ELEMENT RDA 6.2.2 Scope and sources:6.2.2.1 – 6.2.2.2 Choosing preferred titles:6.2.2.3 – 6.2.2.7 Recording preferred titles:6.2.2.8 – 6.2.2.10

26. 26 Sources of information for preferred titles RDA 6.2.2.2 For a work created after 1500 From resources embodying the work or from reference sources Usually: title proper of the first manifestation received For a work created before 1501 From modern reference sources If this evidence is inconclusive, use (in this order): a) modern editions b) early editions c) manuscript copies

27. 27 Preferred title for specific categories of work Certain categories of work have their instructions located in the appropriate sections of Chapter 6: some musical works (6.14.2) some legal works (6.19.2) some religious works (6.23.2) some official communications (6.26.2) Each of these is a general instruction which should be applied unless more specific instructions are relevant

28. Preferred title for the work - Examples 28 240 10 $a Electron paramagnetic resonance of exchange coupled systems 245 10 $a EPR of exchange coupled systems / $c Alessandro Bencini. 240 10 $a Pickwick papers 245 14 $a The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club / $c Charles Dickens. 245 10 $a Introduction to the physics of waves / $c Tim Freegarde, University of Southampton.

29. 29 Additions to access points representing works (1) RDA 6.27.1.9: Must differentiate all works Each possible addition discussed in detail in earlier sections of Chapter 6 100 1# $a Steinbeck, John, $d 1902–1968, $e author. 245 10 $a Of mice and men / $c John Steinbeck. 100 1# $a Steinbeck, John, $d 1902–1968, $e author. 245 10 $a Of mice and men : $b a play in three acts / $c by John Steinbeck.

31. 31 Additions to access points representing works (3) LC-PCC PS 6.27.1.9 Check catalogue to see if there is any conflict. I.e. does the work a.a.p. for the resource in hand match the a.a.p. for a different work? Fairly unlikely to happen for academic works of personal authorship, or where the preferred title is distinctive Very likely to happen for a resource without 1XX and with a generic title, e.g., Bulletin or Two plays Worth checking for literary works

32. 32 Additions to access points representing works (4) If there is conflict, resolve by making addition to a.a.p. in the bibliographic record being created; do not also modify the existing record Construct an authorised access point with a parenthetical qualifier to differentiate the monograph or serial being catalogued Use cataloguers judgement in determining the most appropriate qualifier Multiple qualifiers: separate the qualifiers with a space- colon-space within one set of parentheses Do not anticipate a conflict

46. 46 How to decide Clues that a work is a compilation: Indication of who created what From the preferred source, table of contents, preface, program notes, home page, other components in the resource Assume it is a collaboration if: there is no indication who created what there is doubt

47. 47 Multiple works by one creator Must be treated as a compilation as there are no collaborators Identified by: Creator + Preferred title RDA 6.2.2.10 – constructing preferred title RDA 6.27.1.2 – constructing access point
