I would ask an ILS vendor how they plan to implement RDA/MARC21 fields
336 content, 337 media type, and 338 carrier. I would ask the ease of
global change, e.g., removing "$pN.T." and "$pO.T." between "Bible"
and $p<Book>; and spelling out those initials if no following $p. It
may also be necessary to spell out "Dept." in 110/710, to have entries
interfile properly.
Other than this, RDA/MARC21 records should integrate with present
AACR2/MARC21 records.
