New MARC21 fields
264 Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice
SCIS will continue to use 260 for the foreseeable future and may elect to use the 264 field
ie both need to be allowed for

Types
336 Content Type

337 Media Typehttp://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd337.html
338 Carrier Typehttp://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd338.html
Descriptors to be taken from the RDA Toolkit list
Characteristics
344 Sound CharacteristicsSCIS may implement as need arises
345 Projection Characteristics of Moving ImageSCIS may implement as need arises
346 Video Characteristics SCIS may implement as need arises
347 Digital CharacteristicsSCIS will implement
Grappling with GMD
MARC21 elements no longer used
245 $h [GMD]
Following consultation SCIS proposes to continue to include GMD for a short term (initially 12 months).
Library systems may wish to strip this data
Mapping from GMD to 336, 337, 338 is not feasible
Field lengths
SCIS will implement RDA guideline that bibliographic information to be transcribed as it appears on the item, without abbreviations, etc
250 $a 2nd edition
260 $a Washington, District of Columbia $b300 $a 44 pages : $b colour illustrations.
Library systems with fixed length fields may need to allow for an increased number of characters
Timeline
SCIS intends to stay as closely aligned to Libraries Australia’s implementation dates as possible, ie 31 March 2013.
SCIS will not be changing bibliographic records retrospectively*, so library systems will need to be able to cope with both AACR2 and RDA for the foreseeable future.* Bible and Qur’an uniform titles global change mid 2013
