8. How to identify RDA records MARC coding for RDA bibliographic records: 040 $a ____ $b eng $e rda $c ____ PCC practice: Code for (and use) ISBD punctuation: Leader/18: value “i” 8

9. RDA records always have: 040 $e rda PCC Practice: Fixed field Desc “i” 9

10. Other elements in RDA records MARC fields: Production, publication, distribution, manufacture, and copyright notice (264) Content type (336) Media type (337) Carrier type (338) Spelled out descriptions e.g., volumes, edition, illustrations 10

11. Other elements in RDA records Treat as “clues” only: MARC fields: Production, publication, distribution, manufacture, and copyright notice (264) Content type (336) Media type (337) Carrier type (338) Spelled out descriptions e.g., volumes, edition, illustrations 11

12. RDA records vs. RDA-like elements allowed in pre-RDA records 264 field(s) 33X fields –May see some PCC AACR2 records with these elements –PCC Guidelines for Enhancing & Editing non- RDA Serial Records http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidel ines/Hybrid-Guidelines-Serials-Post-Impl.docx 12

13. RDA (and some AACR2) records have: New MARC fields, fuller transcription 13

14. Terminology comparison AACR2 ◦ Rules ◦ Areas of description ◦ Physical description ◦ Classes of material ◦ General material designation [GMD] ◦ Notes RDA ◦ Instructions ◦ Elements ◦ Describing carriers ◦ Types of content and carrier ◦ Media, carrier, and content type ◦ Describing content and recording relationships 14

15. Terminology comparison AACR2 ◦ [Controlled] Heading ◦ Main entry ◦ Added entries for uncontrolled headings ◦ Author ◦ Uniform title RDA ◦ [Authorized] access point ◦ Preferred name / preferred title (authorized access point for creator +/or preferred title) ◦ Access points ◦ Creator (also author) ◦ Preferred title (title proper + qualifiers to distinguish from title of another work) 15

16. 16 Terminology Title of a work: words or characters by which a work is known Preferred title of a work (6.2.2.4) –Basis for authorized access point –Based on title proper of first manifestation Variant title(s) of a work –Other title(s) in addition to the title or form of title chosen as the preferred title for the work

17. 17 Terminology Access point – name, term, code, etc. representing an entity Examples: Title of a work, a name of person, or corporate body Authorized access point – the standardized access point representing an entity Example: 110 2# $a Society of Linguists

18. 18 Terminology Authorized access point representing a work –Preferred title for the work preceded by Authorized access point representing the creator, a person, family, or corporate body responsible for the work –May include additional elements if necessary to distinguish one work from another –May be the preferred title if no creator and no conflict

19. Terminology For serials, often the authorized access point is the preferred title if no creator in 1XX Conflict with the authorized access point of another work? –Add a term to distinguish and record authorized access point in the 130 field –Not limited to other serial works 19

20. Transcription vs. Recording ICP principle of representation = information transcribed as found on the resource Other information may be manipulated when recorded by the cataloger (either when taken from the resource or from another source) 20 International cataloging principles: http://www.ifla.org/publications/statement-of- international-cataloguing-principles

21. Transcribed manifestation elements Title proper and parallel title proper Other title information Statement of responsibility Edition information Numbering information Place of publisher, distributor, manufacturer Name of publisher, distributor, manufacturer Series information other than ISSN 21

22. Reminders about transcribed elements 22

23. Reminders about transcribed elements Do not abbreviate full forms of found information 23

24. Reminders about transcribed elements Do not abbreviate full forms of found information Generally, do not convert one form of found information to another form 24

25. Reminders about transcribed elements Do not abbreviate full forms of found information Generally, do not convert one form of found information to another form Generally, do not omit information (e.g., part of a publisher name, responsible bodies beyond three in a statement of responsibility) 25

26. Exceptions and options Omit numbering from title proper or parallel title (use mark of omission wherever in title) Some alternatives allow some conversions and some omissions for some elements 26

27. Recorded manifestation elements Date of publication, distribution, manufacture Copyright date Mode of issuance Frequency Identifier of the manifestation (e.g., ISSN usually) Key title Notes about element (e.g., source of title) Issue or part used as basis of description (DBO and LIC) Notes about changes over time 27

28. Recorded carrier characteristics ch. 3 Common carrier characteristics –Extent –Dimensions –Carrier type –Media type –Characteristics for other than volumes as carriers (e.g., CD-ROMs, digitized files, videotapes) 28

29. Common carrier characteristics 29

30. Summary CONSER RDA core elements RDA records identified by coding Familiar concepts, new terminology in RDA Some manifestation elements are transcribed Other manifestation elements can be recorded with some adjustment There are many exceptions to transcription instructions for serials (variable data) 30
