Outline
• 1. RDA-related Changes to MARC 21– 1.1 Introduction– 1.2 Bibliographic Format– 1.3 Authority Format– 1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• 2. Personal Name Headings• 3. Family Name Headings • 4. Corporate Name Headings• 5. Preferred Titles for Works and Expressions• 6. Further Resources
3
1.1 Introduction
• RDA alignment with FRBR and FRAD conceptual models
• RDA also a metadata element set• Three relational database models underlie the
FRBR model; RDA needs to support all three• Scenario 2 implementation (linked bibliographic
and authority records) for initial release of RDA
4
1.1 Introduction
• RDA/MARC Working Group (RMWG)– Established in March 2008 under auspices of
British Library, Library and Archives Canada, and the Library of Congress
– Submitted discussion papers and proposals at all MARBI* meetings, beginning in June 2008
*MARBI stands for “Machine-Readable Bibliographic Information”; it is an interdivisional committee of the American Library Association (ALA), ALCTS (Association for Library Collections and Technical Services); LITA (Library and Information Technology Association; and RUSA (Reference and User Services Association).
5
1.1 Introduction
• Basic principles given in MARC Proposal No. 2008-05/1 (issued June 2008)– Lays the groundwork for the other RMWG
discussion papers and proposals
• Mapping of RDA to MARC 21– Completely clean mapping is not possible for
all RDA elements, due to different levels of granularity between the two
6
1.1 Introduction
• When are new MARC fields and subfields necessary, and when do differences in granularity between MARC and RDA not require format changes? – Increased parsing of data at point of data entry
usually leads to increased cataloging and systems’ implementation costs, so it must be balanced against user needs
– Discussion Paper No. 2008-DP05/4: Items not requiring MARC 21 format changes for RDA (June 12, 2008)
7
1.2 Bibliographic Format: Leader and 00X
• Leader/18 Descriptive cataloging form– “i” (contains ISBD punctuation) or “blank”
(does not contain ISBD punctuation) • LC and most other U.S. libraries have used
code “i” during the RDA test and evaluation period
• 007 Physical Description Fixed Field– Some new codes have been added, such as:
007/01 “e”: computer disc cartridge
8
008 Fixed-Length Data Elements
• New codes added here as well, primarily in 008/23 & 008/29 for Form of item
– “o” online– “q” direct electronic
9
040 Cataloging Source
• $b language of cataloging (NR)– If English, use:– $b eng
• $e description conventions (R)– $e rda– Additional code/s may be applicable
– 040 ## $a NNU-L $b eng $c NNU-L $e rda
10
336-338 Content, Media, and Carrier Types
• Replacement of 245 $h General material designation by three new variable fields:

11
336-338Content, Media, and Carrier Types
• All three fields are repeatable• All three terms can use the codes: other, or
unspecified• RDA term in $a and/or RDA code in $b • Both subfields may be repeated if more than one
type is appropriate, and terms or codes are from the same vocabulary
• Source term is given in $2• Materials specified may be given in $3
12
336 Content Type (R)• Used for identifying works and expressions• RDA core element • Previously only indicated in Bibliographic LDR/06

13
336 Content Type (R)
• Definition of “Content type” (RDA 6.9.1.1):
“Content type is a categorization reflecting the fundamental form of communication in which the content is expressed and the human sense through which it is intended to be perceived. For content expressed in the form of an image or images, content type also reflects the number of spatial dimensions in which the content is intended to be perceived and the perceived presence or absence of movement.”
14
336 Content Type (R)
Some common content types:• 336 $a text 336 $a notated musicuse for printed text use for score • 336 $a still image 336 $a computer programuse for photograph use for applications software• 336 $a performed musicuse for performances of music• 336 $a two-dimensional moving imageuse for motion picture • 336 $a cartographic image use for two dimensional map• 336 $a spoken worduse for recorded speech
15
337 Media Type (R)

– Use term from RDA 3.2.1• $b Media type code (R)• $2 Media type source (NR)
– Use “rdamedia”
16
337 Media Type (R)
• Definition of Media type (RDA 3.2.1.1):“Media type is a categorization reflecting the general type of
intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource.”
Some common media types:337 $a unmediated (content designed to be perceived directly though the human senses
without devices337 $a computer (media accessed remotely and directly)337 $a video (media used with videocassette players, DVDs, etc.)337 $a projected (media used to project both two and three
dimensional images)337 $a microform

50
1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• At the January 2011 MARBI meetings held during the American Library Association Conference, several discussion papers were presented concerning RDA-related changes to MARC 21. These papers will be brought back as proposals in June 2011, and will most likely result in further changes to the MARC 21 formats
51
1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• 1. New fields or subfields for publication, distribution, production, and manufacture statements, and copyright (RDA 2.7-2.11), one of the following options is likely:– Add a 2nd indicator to field 260 for function of
statement. Use 2nd indicator “blank” for legacy data– Define new fields (264, 266, 267-268), keep field 260
for legacy data– In either case, a new field or subfield would be
defined for copyright dateFurther information: Discussion Paper No. 2011-DP01
(available at: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2011/2011-dp01.html)
52
1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• 2. Language of expression (RDA 6.11) two options:options:
– Field 041 may be defined in Authority format– Field 377 (Associated language) may have its definition
broadened to include Language of the expression
• 3. Associated institution (RDA 11.5): A core element for conferences in many cases, and
sometimes for other corporate bodies– Field 373 (Affiliation, RDA 9.13) could be broadened, possibly a
new subfield
53
1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• 4. Fuller form of name (RDA 9.5)• Core element when needed to distinguish a person from another
person with the same name• Subfield $q would continue to be used in access points• Field 378 has been suggested.
• 5. Type of jurisdiction (RDA 11.7.15 and 11.13.1.6)• Added to the name of a government other than a city or town when
needed to differentiate between access points for two or more governments with the same name
Example: Preferred name: Cork (Ireland : County)Type of jurisdiction added as an element: County• Field 334 has been suggested
Further information on nos. 2-5: Discussion paper No. 2011-DP02 (http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2011/2011-dp02.html)
54
1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• 6. Identifying work, expression, and manifestation records in the MARC 21 Bibliographic, Authority, and Holdings Formats– Field 883 (Entity type) proposed for all 3
formats– $a for Primary entity type term (work,
expression, manifestation, or item)– $b for Primary entity type code (“w” work, etc.)More information: Discussion Paper No. 2011-
DP03(available at: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2011/2011-dp03.html)
55
1.4 Future RDA-Related MARC 21 Changes
• 7. Adding MARC fields or subfields for each of the carrier attributes listed in RDA Chapter 3; likely fields:
– Field 340 Physical Medium; new subfields would be added for RDA elements Generation, Layout, Font, etc.
– Field 344 Sound Characteristics (New)– Field 345 Projection Characteristics of Motion Picture Film (New)– Field 346 Video Characteristics (New)– Field 347 Digital File Characteristics (New)
More information: Discussion Paper No. 2011-DP04 (available at: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2011/2011-dp04.html)
56
2. Personal Name Headings
• Major changes in RDA:a. Personal names now include fictitious entities (RDA 9.0)May be represented by authorized access points, if they are presented in resource as having some kind of responsibility for work
100 0# $a Cowardly Lion. 245 10 $a What REALLY goes on in the land of OZ / $c
as recounted by the Cowardly Lion.
57
2. Personal Name Headings
• b. Variant spellings in Preferred name (RDA 9.2.2.5.4)– Choose the form found on the first resource
received • c. Individuals with more than one identity
(RDA 9.2.2.8)– May now choose the name associated with
each identity as the preferred name for that identity (unlike AACR2, no longer limited to contemporary persons)
58
2. Personal Name Headings
• d. Words, etc., indicating relationship following surnames (RDA 9.2.2.9.5)
• Words or numerals indicating relationships with the preferred name are always included in the heading (in AACR2, they were only included after surnames in order to break conflicts)
100 1# $a Saur, Karl-Otto, $c Jr.
(In Portuguese, such words are treated as part of the surname)
59
2. Personal Name Headings
e. Date associated with the person (RDA 9.3):RDA has three date elements: Date of birth, Date of death, and
Period of activity of the person
Dates for the Period of activity of the person are added if birth and death dates are both unknownAACR2 (22.17 & LCRI) didn’t use “dates of activity” for 20th century persons, RDA has no date restrictions, LCPS 9.19.1.5: LC adds dates of activity only if needed to break a conflict
RDA allows only the abbreviations in Appendix B. “B.C.” and “A.D.” are the only abbreviations allowed with personal
names
60
2. Personal Name Headings
e. Date associated with the person (cont.):
“century” is used, not “cent.”
“b.” and “d.” are not used, LC catalogers will use a hyphen after the date of birth, and a hyphen before the date of death (LCPS 9.3.3.3)
“active” is used by LC, to replace the abbreviation “fl.”
“approximately” is used, not “ca.”
61
2. Personal Name Headings
• f. Fuller form of name (RDA 9.5)• RDA allows a part of the name not represented in the
preferred name ($a) to be added in all cases—not just when there is a conflict (as is the case in AACR2)
• LC practice is to always give the fuller form of name if known
• Statement of responsibility: George Prager– AACR2 form: 100 1# $a Prager, George, $d 1952-– RDA form: 100 1# $a Prager, George $q (George
Allen), $d 1952-
62
2. Personal Name Headings
• g. Persons known by a surname only (RDA 9.2.2.9.2)
Words or phrases associated with the name are treated as an integral part of the name (included in $a), not treated as additions to the name ($c):
AACR2: 100 1# $a Seuss, $c Dr.
RDA: 100 1# $a Seuss, Dr.
63
2. Personal Name Headings
• h. Conflict resolution: additions to access points representing names (RDA 9.19.1.3-9.19.1.7)– 1st choice: Date of birth and/or death – 2nd choice: Fuller form of name, including
elements not included in the $a (LCRI 22.17-20 gives this as the 4th of 5th choices, before making the heading undifferentiated: Example: 100 1# $a Clapper, John $q (John Samuel)
64
2. Personal Name Headings
– 3rd choice: Period of activity of the personLCRI 22.17-20 allows “flourished” and “century” dates as the 6th and 7th choices to break conflicts, but only for persons living before the 20th century
– 4th choice: Term indicating profession or occupation of a person (9.16, 9.19.1.6)
100 1# $a Galdi, Giovanni $c (Cataloger)• AACR2 would not allow this addition for a 20th or
21th century person; LCRI 22.19 makes an exception for musicians
65
2. Personal Name Headings
• 5th choice: Field of activity of the person (RDA 9.15, 9.19.1.7)
Defined in RDA as: “A field of endeavour, area of expertise, etc., in which a person is engaged or was engaged.” 100 1# $a Prager, George $c (Mountain climber)
100 1# $a Cordola, Antonio $c (Violinist)Additions to names not permitted in RDA:
– Titles of position or office (“Rev.”, “Professor of law”, “Dr.”)
– Initials of academic degrees (“Ph. D.”, “J.D.”)– Initials denoting membership in an organization
66
2. Personal Name Headings
RDA does not include these attributes, as they are not included in FRAD. However, academic degrees and similar information can be given in a 670 field of the authority record, if desired
Undifferentiated names should be rare in RDA, because it allows qualification of all personal names (both pre- and post 19th century) by dates of activity for a person, terms indicating profession or occupation of a person, and terms indicating field of activity of a person
67
3. Family Name Headings
• “Families” not covered in AACR2. In RDA, they may be used as creators, etc.
• Useful for archival and genealogical collections
• Families defined in RDA (8.1.2):“Two or more persons related by birth, marriage,
adoption, civil union, or similar legal status, or who otherwise present themselves as a family”
68
3. Family Name Headings
• Choosing the Preferred Name for the Family (10.2.2.3):

they are needed as creators• Continue current subject cataloging practice for general
family groupings (Subject Cataloging Manual H 1631)• Separate authority records will exist in the LC/NACO file
and the LCSH file*• LC/NACO family records should include 667 note: This
heading is not valid as a subject. Use a family name heading from LCSH
• *RDA access point in bibliographic record: 100 3# $a Smythe (Family : $d 1745-1995 : $c Providence, R.I.)
• Subject heading in bibliographic record: 600 30 $a Smith family
72
4. Corporate Name Headings
• There are not so many changes for corporate names in RDA. We will discuss only the most significant:
• a. Variant spellings (RDA 11.2.2.5.1)RDA: Chose the form found in the first resource received (LCPS continues practice of using form resulting from official change in spelling)
AACR2 (24.2C): Uses the form resulting from official change in spelling; if this doesn’t apply, then the most commonly found spelling in items issued by the body
73
4. Corporate Name Headings
• b. “Department” vs. “Dept.”:
RDA will spell out “Department”, when it appears spelled out in the source for a corporate name. This is not a change from AACR2, but from the LCRIs which used the abbreviation “Dept.”
RDA: 110 1# $a Nebraska. $b Department of the Environment
LCRI: 110 1# $a Nebraska. $b Dept. of the Environment
74
4. Corporate Name Headings
• c. Conference names (RDA 11.13.1.8)– Same instructions for conferences, exhibitions, fairs,
festivals (AACR2 had different rules: 24.7 & 24.8)– Terms of frequency kept in conference names
(AACR2 would leave them out):
– RDA: 111 2# $a Biennial Symposium on Active Control of Vibration and Noise
– AACR2: 111 2# $a Symposium on Active Control of Vibration and Noise
75
4. Corporate Name Headings
• c. Conference names (cont.):• AACR2 authority record (following LCRI 24.7B):
No number, date, or place used for ongoing conference
• RDA authority record: Use all appropriate qualifiers for numbered conference (qualification for post-test period if being cataloged as a monograph)
76
4. Corporate Name Headings
• c. Conference names (cont.)– Dates are omitted from name of exhibition, fair, or
festival:RDA: Schweizerische Grönland-ExpeditionAACR2: Schweizerische Grönland-Expedition 1912/13– Location of conference (11.3.2)RDA: Unlimited number of locations can be given; each
location is separated from the other by a semicolon (Appendix E 1.2.4)
AACR2: If conference held in more than two places, use first place, followed by “etc.”
– RDA: For an online conference, use “Online”
77
5. Preferred Titles for Works and Expressions
• RDA has made a few changes, mostly (I think) for the better. We’ll touch upon the most important ones:
• a. Parts of the Bible
RDA (6.23.2.9): spells out “Old Testament” and “New Testament”;
AACR2: uses “O.T.” and “N.T.”
78
5. Preferred Titles for Works and Expressions
a. Parts of the Bible (cont.)
RDA: leaves out the names of the Testaments in headings for the individual books or several books
AACR2: includes names of Testaments in headings for individual books or several books
RDA: 130 #0 $a Bible. $p Leviticus
AACR2: 130 #0 $a Bible. $p Old Testament. $p Leviticus
79
5. Preferred Titles for Works and Expressions
b. Collective uniform titles:
RDA (6.2.2.10): “Works. Selections”
AACR2 (25.9): “Selections”
c. Bilingual and multilingual compilations of expressions of the same work
RDA (6.27.3), unlike AACR2 (25.5C), does not combine two or more names of languages, or use “Polyglot” in $l of access points
80
5. Preferred Titles for Works and Expressions
Example: An English and Italian edition of Buzzati’s: Deserto dei tartari
RDA bibliographic record: 700 1# $a Buzzati, Dino, $d 1906-1972. $t Deserto dei
tartari. $l English700 1# $a Buzzati, Dino, $d 1906-1972. $t Deserto dei
tartari. $l ItalianAACR2 bibliographic record: 100 1# $a Buzzati, Dino, $d 1906-1972.240 10 $a Deserto dei tartari. $l English & Italian
81
5. Preferred Titles for Works and Expressions
• d. Librettos• RDA (6.27.4.2) does not treat as musical work;
enters independently:
RDA heading and reference on authority record:
100 1# $a Piave, Francesco Maria, $d 1810–1876. $t Ernani. $l Spanish
400 1# $a Verdi, Giuseppe, $d 1813–1901. $t Ernani. $p Libretto. $l Spanish
