1. CASEY A. MULLIN STANFORD UNIVERSITY MUSIC OCLC USERS GROUP ANNUAL MEETING TUESDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2013 SAN JOSE, CA RDA, MARC, Compilations and You

2. Introduction Scope Disclaimer “YMMV” 2 Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"

3. What is a compilation? 3 Surprise! It’s not defined in the RDA Glossary Library of Congress’ pithy definition Mullin’s (attempt at an) operational definition Two or more works or expressions manifested together in a single resource (regardless of mode of issuance) Is it a “work” in its own right? Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"

4. What is a compilation? 4 What does this mean in a MARC bibliographic record? By default, use 245 0x, unless conditions exist permitting use of 1xx In AACR2, it seemed to be the inverse Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"

5. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 5

6. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 6 Obvious: works by multiple creators (6.27.1.4)

7. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 7 Obvious: works by multiple creators (6.27.1.4) Collective title proper  Can serve double-duty as the preferred title of the aggregate “work”  LC-PCC PS 6.27.1.9: break conflict if needed (use 130) 130 0_ Opera overtures (2013) 130 0_ Opera overtures (2013 : London, England) 130 0_ Opera overtures (2013 : Philharmonia Orchestra (London, England)) What about “performer main entry”?  Does not exist as such in RDA! See 6.28.1.5.1 and/or 19.2.1.1.1

8. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 8 Obvious: works by multiple creators (6.27.1.4) No collective title proper  Still a compilation!  Do not “enter under” first work  Alternative: devise a title if not identifying all works in the compilation (LC-PCC PS: “generally” do not apply)

9. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 9 Also obvious: works by a single composer

10. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 10 Also obvious: works by a single composer Complete  Conventional collective title required (6.14.2.8.1-6.14.2.8.5) 240 10 Works 240 10 Piano music 240 10 Symphonies

11. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 11 Also obvious: works by a single composer Incomplete  Identify all works in the compilation (6.2.2.10; 6.14.2.8.6)  Alternative: use a conventional collective title instead or in addition (LC-PCC PS: apply) 240 10 Works. $k Selections 240 10 Piano music. $k Selections 240 10 Symphonies. $k Selections

12. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 12 Fuzzy: resources with secondary content Examples: Audio disc with program notes in a booklet Score with a preface Videorecording with “bonus features”

13. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 13 Fuzzy: resources with secondary content Should be cataloged as a compilation?  Yes, if “secondary content” is treated as a work in its own right RDA Terminology not very helpful  “Secondary content” – not defined  Supplementary content (7.16) – scope too restrictive?  “Accompanying material” – also not defined, but used in the context of describing carriers and as a source of information

14. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 14 Fuzzy: resources with secondary content How to treat such content? Accompanying work/expression relationship designators: J.2.5, J.3.5  Implies subordination (analogous to 7.16) Descriptive work/expression relationship designators: J.2.3, J.3.3  Better, but suitable for identifying works/expressions contained in the resource?  Unclear if 1xx/24x for the “main” work would be appropriate in this case “Contains (work/expression)” access point  Treat like an ordinary compilation (245 0x) Pretend content doesn’t exist for the purposes of assigning access points  Is this cheating? Perhaps

15. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 15 Even fuzzier: one work, multiple expressions

16. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 16 Even fuzzier: one work, multiple expressions Multiple language expressions Multiple editorial versions  Facsimile reproduction and modern edition  Original clefs and modern clefs  Recording with and without solo part

17. Types of compilations Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 17 Even fuzzier: one work, multiple expressions How to assign access points? If not differentiating at the expression level, give 1xx/24x for the work If giving an access point for each expression (6.28.3.6; 26.1), give in 7xx. 700 12 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791. $t Zauberflöte. $s Vocal score. $l German 700 12 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791. $t Zauberflöte. $s Vocal score. $l English LC’s training materials also have 1xx for first-named creator in this case Is this cheating? Probably. At the very least it is redundant

18. Rule of thumb Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You" 18 Think you have a compilation? Use 245 0x, unless conditions exist permitting the use of 1xx
