Cambridge University Library Authorised access points: Headings in RDA Cambridge University Library Written for Cambridge use by Celine Carty 1

Reminder Heading in AACR2 authorised access point in RDA = AAP 2

Overview What is the same? What is different? New types of authorised access points What’s different in existing AAPs? What RDA says about AAPs RDA authority records Global database changes 3

What is the same? Cambridge still a NACO library, creating and updating authority records Still doing maintenance in cambrdgedb to ensure existing bibs use correct authorised forms Still expect records in the cambrdgedb database to use authorised forms Still proposing new AAPs as required 4

Checking aaps in bib records Make sure you check every authorised access point against the authority file  1XX, 1XX+240, 7XX, 8XX BAM in Cataloger’s Toolkit or other methods REMEMBER that Voyager’s own “validation” screen is not sufficient!  highlight, click on search to see the Browse Headings List and view authority record 5

What is different? Family names AACR2 Families could only be included as subjects (LCSH) in bib records LCSH for families applied for ALL families with the same name (or variants of the same name) RDA Families can be creators or contributors in bib records Families can be established in LC/NAF for specific families (for use in 100 3# or 700 3#) 6

Family name example applies to ALL families with Chatman name or variants of Chatman name

What is different? Fictitious & non-human entities AACR2 only human beings were considered “persons” for purposes of added entries RDA “Persons include fictitious entities” (RDA 9.0) and non-human entities They can be established in the LC-NAF and given as creators/contributors 8

Library of Congress Subject Heading (600 field) RDA Name authority record (100 or 700 field) 10

What’s different? Differences in how AAPs look Existing headings will look different: New elements form part of the preferred name Jr., Sr., III, etc. New “occupation” qualifiers to break conflict Can no longer use certain types of qualifiers No more abbreviations No more fl., ca., b., d., Dept., etc. 11

12 Changes to personal names Words, etc., indicating relationships are treated as part of the preferred name and always recorded if present RDA For example, Jr., Sr., fils, père and numbers (e.g., III) Saur, Karl-Otto, Jr. Dumas, Alexandre, père Hatfield, Frederick C., II

13 Qualifier of occupation Qualify by profession or occupation RDA Can be professional, occupational, unpaid or recreational Add only to distinguish one access point from another in the absence of: birth/death dates, fuller form of name or period of activity

14 Occupation qualifier examples 100 1# $a Niven, William $c (Clergyman) 100 1# $a Waters, Chris $c (Poet) 100 1# $a Green, Kevin $c (Angler) 100 1# $a Davies, Simon $c (Crime fiction author) 100 1# $a Turner, Martin $c (Travel writer) 100 0# $a Big Hand $c (Musician)

Qualifiers that can no longer be used Titles and terms of address not covered by RDA Post-nominal letters denoting a degree, or membership of an organization also not included Abraham, Martin, Dr. Graves, Ernest, Lt. Gen. Young, Joseph, Rev. Hughes, Claire, Ph. D. Carter, Thomas, of London None of the above is a permitted RDA authorized access point 15

No more abbreviations AACR2RDA Abbreviates monthsDoes not abbreviate months 15th cent.15th century ca ca. 1896approximately approximately 1896 fl active b d Dept.Department (unless name uses the form Dept.) 16

What’s different? Conferences Conferences, meetings, exhibitions, fairs and festivals all now have same rules (RDA ) Remove from the preferred name any indication of its number or year(s) of convocation Do not remove indication of frequency (Annual, Biennial, etc.) CAV (Conference)NOTCAV ’91 Annual Conference on Fishing NOT Conference on Fishing 17

18 What’s different? “Named” conferences A conference name need not contain a word that denotes a conference, to be considered named (and given in 111) Former practice followed LCRI 21.1.B1 and required the name to include a word such as “symposium”, “conference”, “colloquium”, etc. Has no equivalent in RDA or the LC-PCC PS Freedom & Faith Digital Library Futures May not convey the idea of a corporate body so add qualifier (Conference)

19 Collective & individual conference name authority records RDA requires both individual and collective conference name authority records (RDA & LC-PCC PS ) Records created for individual conferences Records created for individual instances of sequential conferences Records created for collective run of sequential conferences British Knitting Conference British Knitting Conference $n (4 th : $d 2010 : $c Norwich, England) $n (4 th : $d 2010 : $c Norwich, England)

20 Individual conference names Individual conference name authority record: Used for a single instance of an ongoing (sequential) conference or for individual one-off conferences NARs now needed for single instances of ongoing conferences: 111 2# $a Conference on Bats $n (3 rd : $d 1999 : $c Whitby, England) 111 2# $a BTR (Conference) $n (2nd : $d 2002 : $c University of Iowa) Individual name authority record for exact name must exist

21 Collective conference names Collective conference name authority record Used for the whole series of an ongoing conference 111 2# $a Conference on Bats 111 2# $a BTR (Conference) Individual and collective records co-exist on the authority file, for most conferences you will need both a collective and an individual authority record

25 AACR2 conference names Existing AACR2 authority records do not follow the individual/collective pattern Existing records are flagged with a 667 note: 667 ## $a THIS 1XX FIELD CANNOT BE USED UNDER RDA UNTIL THIS RECORD HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND/OR UPDATED This means this authorised form cannot be used in RDA bib records (though it can be used for AACR2 records). Pass to NACO cataloguer for upgrading to RDA.

What’s different? Specific changes Changes for authorised access points for works/expressions 130, 240, 700 $t, 730, etc. No more $l Polyglot and only one language in $l Changes for authorised access points for sacred scriptures No more abbreviations: New Testament not N.T.

What’s different? RDA means… In general: More types of entities in 1XX More instances of 1XX in records More AAPs altogether Relationship designators are not part of the authorised form and do not appear in the authority records. Relationship designators also do not affect indexing or searching 28

49 Authority work required Send for authority control work if: You need a new access point Authority record needs extra information (e.g. references) Undifferentiated record can be differentiated (e.g. by occupation) Authority record is flagged with a 667 note

667 note 667 note: THIS 1XX FIELD CANNOT BE USED UNDER RDA UNTIL THIS RECORD HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND/OR UPDATED Cannot be used in RDA records; can be used in AACR2 If you come across one in RDA cataloguing, pass it on for NACO work via the usual workflows 50

Changes to the authority file – 1 Lots of changes for RDA done as global updates to authority records, files released in batches to libraries Phase 2 just underway now (March 2013): Expand abbreviations (arr., acc., unacc., Dept., cent., fl., ca.) Replace “b.” and “d.” in dates with hyphens Change “violincello” to “cello” in headings Changes to Bible and Koran headings Modify “Selections” to “Works. Selections” 51

Changes to the authority file - 2 During Phase 2, please be patient! There will be a delay in dealing with the large number of updated records locally, but they are being done. Put in Toolkit request or Fiona Grant in Authority Control as usual, but be aware that there is a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes 52
