The trouble is that you don't do cataloging just by applying a code of rules, but in a system that gives you forms to fill and options to decide and such. That's very much the environment catalogers live in and are used to. Their language consists of MARC tags and MARC field names, mostly. This will have to be adapted to RDA, or the other way - or it's not going to work. Even if much were to be accomplished along that line of reformulation or retraining, there's still the question of efficiency when you consider that the new code doesn't actually do many new things but more of the old and familiar ones, only in a more thoroughly conceptualized framework of thinking, coooked up by database engineers.

Re: [RDA-L] New to list
Hi Maxine! Long-time-no-chat. I concur with what you said; as well as everyone else's comments set forth in this thread! We've certainly discussed some of this in Cataloging Needs of Public Libraries at ALA. It it is true that we've been cataloging with AACR2 ... some of us since 1981. The concept of learning something new is not the issue, trying to apply the new concepts is another matter. It is not uncommon for me to sit at my desk, read and try to apply the rules, and say (or so I've been told I say), Huh?, [expletive], what?, [another expletive], and so forth. Best.

Re: [RDA-L] RDA implementation
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is their usual informative and
helpful manner have answered my questions concerning RDA
implementation. Basically, retrospectively they will change headings
to match RDA forms, but will not retrospectively change description.
We have found following LAC's lead to be very worthwhile, e.g.,
following their example in using AACR2 for cataloguing reproductions
(as opposed to the LCRI) has saved us having to decide how to deal
with reproductions of reproductions, and what to do when there is no
record for the reproduced item. Since we do reuse records often, we
will make some automated retrospective descriptive changes, such as
spelling out common abbreviations.
LAC wrote:
The earliest date that LAC will implement RDA is mid-2011. One
dependency for LAC is the availability of the French translation of
RDA. As plans develop, we will share them with the community.
In relation to particular questions:
In 130/630/730 remove '$pN.T.' and '$pO.T.' from between 'Bible' and
$pBook. Spell out as 'New Testament' and 'Old Testament' if not
followed by $p and the name of a book.
*** LAC will make this change.
In 110/710 Change Dept. to Department.
*** LAC will make this change.
Concerning change of genre headings now in 650 to 655:
*** LAC is planning to use genre headings in the future and will
likely follow Library of Congress' lead concerning their application.
Change 008/23 = s to 008/23 = o, unless CD-ROM in 300
*** There is no plan at this time to change that value.
In all 650, change Cookery to Cooking.**
*** LAC will update subject headings with Cookery as we come across
them. Relevant authority records in CSH have been updated and will
appear in CSH on the Web when the product is next refreshed in
September.
Concerning substitution of 336-338 for 245$h:
*** More analysis is required before we can determine how to proceed.

Re: [RDA-L] Understanding RDA (was: New to list)
Mark said: ,,,describe WEMI as levels of information about the thing being cataloged: for the book in hand, the work is the idea conveyed by the uniform (preferred) title or name-title heading; the expression describes in broad and narrow strokes the content, the language, the mode of communication of that idea (text, English, any included index and bibliography); the manifestation is the description of the carrier and other aspects of that particular edition (x number of pages, includes this series statement and that statement of responsibility); and the item points to information particular to the piece in hand (missing pages, signature by the author). Excellent!! But as long as we are in MARC creating records for editions, largely irrelevant to our daily work, apart from navigating RDA if/when some must. Mac
Re: [RDA-L] New to list
I was one of the reviewers of RDA when it was being written. Basically, the English is terrible. Very passive sounding. Long sentences. Distinctions that do not make a difference (Choice of entry and Recording of entry--why are they two different parts of the code and so far apart. I was told some time back that the whole thing would be rewritten. In more direct language (Like AACR2, perhaps?). But I don't know if they will have the time. Hope so.

Re: [RDA-L] Keep your access to RDA after August 31st
My opinion/suggestion: It would be ideal to allow open access to the RDA rules via rdatoolkit.org throughout the entirety of all three of the U.S. Libraries testing phases. Testers will be creating records in the second phase of the test period, which is about to begin, and that is when I think most people would really benefit from RDA open access-they could look at RDA records side-by-side with the rules. This would allow for more transparency and more input from libraries outside of the testing group. Asking people to pay for access to a code of rules that has not been formally (nor even informally) adopted by the library community is, in my opinion, outrageous. Keep RDA access open until we decide we will implement it. *** Robert Bothmann Electronic Access/Catalog Librarian Associate Professor, Library Services From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:rd...@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca] On Behalf Of Troy Linker Sent: Thursday, 26 August, 2010 11:35 AM To: RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca Subject: [RDA-L] Keep your access to RDA after August 31st The complimentary open-access period to the RDA Toolkit ends August 31, 2010.

Re: [RDA-L] Keep your access to RDA after August 31st
My boss asked me if we should buy this. I hadn't been paying too much attention to RDA since it seemed to be still in the testing phase and since I don't do much cataloging any more. So I spent a couple of days reading things about it, looking at the toolkit, etc. From what I can tell, you can get LC's training information at no charge. I don't see the actual rule book, but lots of helpful info is there. It was enough to boggle my mind, anyway. I hadn't put it into words, but I agree with you - charging for it before it's even adopted or implemented is less than friendly or helpful!
