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

RDA records always have: 040 $e rdaPCC Practice: Fixed field Desc “i”

9

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 descriptionse.g., volumes, edition, illustrations

Other elements in RDA recordsTreat as “clues” only:

• MARC fields:Production, publication, distribution,

manufacture, and copyright notice (264)

Content type (336)

Media type (337)

Carrier type (338)

• Spelled out descriptionse.g., volumes, edition, illustrations

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

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

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

Terminology comparison

• AACR2

◦ [Controlled] Heading

◦ Main entry

◦ Added entriesfor 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)

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

171717

Terminology

• Access point – name, term, code, etc. representing an entityExamples:

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

181818

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

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

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)

2020

International cataloging principles:http://www.ifla.org/publications/statement-of-

international-cataloguing-principles

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

2121

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)

2525

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

2626

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

2727

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)

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)
