Re: [RDA-L] Some more examples of qualified conventional collective titles

2013-12-20 Thread Adam L. Schiff
Who does the removing?  In our workflow, LC copy goes through a quick 
cataloging process in Acquisitions  Rapic Cataloging Division, and never 
sees the eyes of complex copy or original cataloger.  That is, most of 
these records are processed either by machine or by student workers.  Do 
you go back and find them later and delete them?  In any case, that would 
not work for us because our catalog records are based on the master record 
in OCLC and whatever is there is the data that comes into our shared 
consortial catalog.  Any changes made by anyone in OCLC to a record we 
have holdings on will be propagated into our consortial catalog, so to get 
rid of CCTs we'd have to delete them in the OCLC master record, and should 
someone put them back in, we'd get them right back.

Aren't conventional collective titles really Form/Genre headings?  (Poems.
Selections, vs. Essays Selections, vs. Works Selections)

Would they not serve their function less confusingly if we treated them
that way?

FWIW, my institution has been removed CCTs from LC records ever since the
abandonment of the AACR2 rule about distinctive titles.  Very seldom does
it require more than a moment's thought.

concocted and perturbed in ways they'd never imagine.
Add conventional collected titles at leisure (if you find any),

If we can't get away from the old spirit of cataloging that was

create more nuisance than usefulness.

Re: [RDA-L] Some more examples of qualified conventional collective titles

2013-12-18 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I've asked just this question on the PCC list, since the policy statement 
that covers this is labeled LC practice.  So far I've only heard back 
from a few libraries, but they are following LC practice.  Which makes 
sense when you consider that much of the copy for cataloging that we get 
comes from LC, and we don't have the staffing to redo what they do. 
Therefore we will be getting and accepting many records that have these 
conventional collective titles, and any original cataloging records that 
we might create according to a different local practice would be just a 
drop in the bucket of all the records in our catalog.

Adam,

These examples all seem to follow LC's interpretation of the first sentence 
of RDA 6.2.2.10, i.e. none of these collections was treated as being known 
under its own title.


So, is it correct to assume that LC's rather extreme interpretation (that a 
collection can only become known by its own title over the course of time) is 
at present widely followed, although Kevin Randall and others have raised 
objections?


I've noticed that in the NACO training module 6
http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/courses/naco-RDA/Module%206-Describing%20Works%20and%20Expressions.pptx
there is no detailed explanation of how the first sentence of RDA 6.2.2.10 is 
to be understood (slide 38). So I'm not sure whether all PCC libraries follow 
LC's practice here.

Re: [RDA-L] Relationship designator for corporate creator

2013-11-30 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Neither an issuing body nor a host institution is a creator in RDA, so using those relationship 
designators in 110 fields is not correct.  Works are not named by combining the authorized access 
point for issuing body or host institution with the preferred title for the work.  To be a 110, the 
corporate body must be a creator.  Choose from the relationship designators for creators and if 
there isn't an appropriate one there (I think author is perfectly fine and allowable 
for corporate bodies and families as well as persons), then use the element name, in this case 
creator.

Subject: [RDA-L] The meaning of 372 Field of Activity

Hello again.

I'm wrangling with some of the 3xx fields for authority records, in order to 
produce some policy for using some of them in a coherent and fruitful way. I'm 
facing some problems, and neither the MARC field itself, nor RDA instructions, 
nor the use I've seen out there gives me a clear view.

The main bump in the road is field 372. Let's say I'm working on Joseph Stalin. I'd like 
record and retrieve him as a politician (374), as a member of Communist Party of the 
Soviet Union (373), but I'd like to relate him with communism. So, recording 
Communism in 372 seems perfect for that purpose. But I would also record 
Comunism in 372 for a scholar historian on communism.

Summing up, if I record 372 Punk-rock, Am I expressing that the guy is a 
musician (374), specialized in doing punk-rock music, or Am I indicating that 
he/she is a music critic (374), expert on punk-rock music?

Thanks in advance for opinions and experiencies.

If there isn't a good match, just don't record a relationship designator. 
Or if you can determine that a new designator is needed and what that 
would be, submit one for the JSC to consider (via the web form on the PCC

Kevin advises no relationship designator if none applies,  Another poster
has advised that if no exact term works, use the larger category. even if
not the the lists.  (The MRIs add those categories to its list.)  In this case
you might consider $ecreator.  The body has a more important
relationship to the item than just holding the copyright.

You are right, I think, that the terms from the $4 code list should not be

larger and more important than just copyright holder, so I would not.

SLC feels the need for location or venue as a relationship
designator, to use for venues such as galleries where an exhibition is
held, theatres and concert halls where performances are held.

Currently we are using host institution, but I suspect most don't
this of galleries, theatres, and concert halls as institutions.
Since venues may not have published the item issuing body can not
always be used.

What relationship designator are others using for venues?

Re: [RDA-L] Prize winners in authority records

2013-10-24 Thread Adam L. Schiff
Some of these prizes that you mention are for a specific work, and 
information about the prize could/should go in the work authority record. 
It would be recorded in the history of the work note (MARC 678).


If the information were meant to be more searchable and retrievable than 
can be done with a 678 note, then I think we would need a new field in the 
authority format, along the lines of the 586 field that we have in the 
bibliographic format.  It could have subfields for a) name of award b) 
year of award c) other information and probably a subfield $2 for the 
source of the term used in $a if a controlled form were used.  It could be 
used on a record for a work or for a record for person/family/corporate 
body.  For example:


100 1_ $a Catton, Eleanor, $d 1985- $t Luminaries
3XX$a Man Booker Prize $b 2013 $2 lcsh

130 _0 $a Argo (Motion picture)
3XX$a Academy Award $b 2013 $c Best Picture

110 2_ $a Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
3XX$a Nobel Peace Prize $b 2013
3XX$a Nobel Prizes $b 2013 $c Peace $2 lcsh

100 1_ $a Lawrence, Jennifer, $d 1990-
3XX$a Academy Award $b 2013 $c Best Actress, in Silver linings 
playbook


I suppose even if this information is not covered in FRAD or RDA, someone 
could still make a MARC proposal to establish a field and subfields for 
the information.


I should also point out that newly established field 386 for 
Creator/Contributor Characteristics could possibly sometimes be used for a 
similar purpose.  Right now the field has been limited in scope to works

Subject: [RDA-L] Prize winners in authority records

Hello,

I think it could be interesting to record, in Persons authority records, 
that a given author has been winner of a prize, such a Nobel, Booker, 
Pulitzer. Retrieving and grouping authors winners of a given prize can 
be of interest for users, although maybe is not an attribute essential 
for identification purposes, and not indeed as an addition to access 
points. Such an attribute is not in FRAD, thus, it is not in RDA, thus, 
it is not in MARC. Field 368 (Other Attributes of Person or Corporate 
Body) seems not to fit here.


Any idea? Or maybe is it not such an interesting piece of data to record?

2013-10-18 Thread Adam L. Schiff
Carrying that forward with RDA in MARC is a problem because one can't 
make Person-to-Work relationships outside of a bibliographic record. 
Authority records make Person-to-Person relationships and Work-to-Work 
relationships (with some flexibility, such as person-to-corporate body, 
for example musical group members, etc.).

Re: [RDA-L] Relationship designator for a retitled work

If it is the same work, then you have to decide what the preferred title of the 
work is, and if it is not the same as the manifestation you have in hand, then 
you would add a 240 for the preferred title (or 130 if no creator(s)).  No

I almost agree with Mac here.  But if you decide to do it it should only 
be done in your local copy of the record, not in any master record that 
you contribute to OCLC and code RDA.  Shared records in OCLC should adhere

You are correct, I think, in interpreting RDA not to provide this, to
make it easier to use harvested data without change I've been told.

I find adding a note more work than supplying the one word.

Those added words will be in Bibframe from MARC crosswalk, so I would
say this is a good instance for jury nullification in the interest of
consistency with legacy records, very long standing practice, and
patron convenience.  A note does not show up in brief display.  Do it.
Anyone who uses your record and doesn't like it, can remove it, and do
their own note.

I don't expect many to agree with me on this.   RDA makes too many
concessions to using harvested data, e.g., allowing non standard
capitalization.

Re: [RDA-L] alternative titles and variant access points

2013-10-04 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Steven,

Yes, probably, unless we agree not to always provide an work access point 
for the compilation itself.  We have already basically agreed not to do 
that for compilations of works by different entities without a collective 
title (6.27.1.4 alternative, where LC/PCC decision is not to apply the 
alternative; you would only apply it probably if you need to reference the 
compilation when cataloging some other resource).  In the interim, the 
title proper of the first resource in the manifestation represents the 
compilation as a whole (probably not such a useful thing).


Maybe we only give AAP for compilations by different persons, families, 
corporate bodies in which no individual analytic access points are being 
made (e.g., collection of poems or essays or articles by various authors)? 
And then in other cases, if the compilations needs to be referenced 
elsewhere (as a related work or subject) then retrospectively we go back 
and differentiate that compilation if its title is the same as another 
work whose AAP would also just be a title.


Just thinking out loud

Steven,

If all work/expression AAPs are entered in 7XX, then there would not be a
130 either.  Those would become 730s.  I think Kevin is correct that each 
record would start with 245, with no 1XXs at all.

So for you compilation of selections of two poets' works, if the compilation title wasn't unique, 
in addition to the two 700s for the two poets' selected works, you would have a 730 for the 
compilation as a work (if that is judged necessary at all).  The choice of qualifier is up to the 
cataloger.  You suggested the name of the publisher, as in Sea (Vanity Press).  But it 
could just have easily been something like Sea (Poetry anthology : 2005)
or many other formulations.

If all work/expression AAPs are entered as 700 a/t analytics, the title in
245 is exposed and the incidence of conflicts requiring 130 would increase 
substantially, no? And if pcc requires an AR for the 130, that would mean more 
authority work or, more likely, fewer bib records coded as pcc. Also, given the 
number of potential title conflicts in OCLC, it might be better practice to 
make the 130 with qualifier mandatory rather than to expend time and energy 
searching for conflicting titles.

In current practice, the relationship designator is not used with a/t 
analytics. If 700 a/t is used exclusively,  I could see some indexing and 
display problems in current MARC based systems, whether it is inserted between 
$a and $t or after $t. If, however, the thinking is that with a 700 a/t AAP the 
creator-work/expression relationship is clearly defined w/out the designator, 
that would mean one less thing to do, so that would be a plus.

With a better mark-up system based on BibFrame, the MARC limitations could be 
overcome, but trying to do this in the MARC environment may be more trouble 
than it's worth.

You wouldn't believe how tickled I am to see you make this argument!  This is much more 
in line with the FRBR WEMI concepts, and really should be the direction we end up moving 
in.  And in this approach, the 100 field for the creator would not only be unnecessary, 
it would have no basis in the RDA guidelines.  The 245 field is describing the 
*manifestation*, and the creator relationship is with the *work*.  (This makes me think 
about all of the times people have argued that main entry isn't needed in 
online catalogs.  I think those arguments didn't make sense in the contemporary context; 
but in the future, when we have metadata specific to the various WEMI entities, the 
what-we've-traditionally-called-main-entry concept won't apply at the manifestation 
level--it will only be at the work level, per RDA chapter 19.  Hopefully, catalogers will 
start out describing *manifestations*, and then link those descriptions up to the 
expressions/works that are involved.)

[RDA-L] alternative titles and variant access points

2013-10-02 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I'm wondering what the collective wisdom is regarding providing a variant 
access point in bibliographic records to the portion of a title proper 
that precedes an alternative title.


As you all are probably aware, in RDA an alternative title is treated as 
part of the title proper (2.3.2.1), but not as part of the preferred title 
of a work (6.2.2.4).  Therefore whenever you have a resource with an 
alternative title, a 130 or 240 is needed in addition to the 245 title 
proper.  For example:


100 1_  Owens, Jo, $d 1961-
240 10  Add kids, stir briskly
245 10  Add kids, stir briskly, or, How I learned to love my life /
$c Jo Owens.

Now the question I have is, given that the 240 that would be required in 
an RDA record for this resource (because you have to name the work 
manifested in this resource)**, would one or two variant title 246s be 
required?:


246 30  Add kids, stir briskly
246 30  How I learned to love my life

Or would only the second 246 for the alternative title suffice in an RDA 
record?



** I realize that instead of the 240 a 700 related work access point could 
be given:


700 12 $i Contains (work): $a Owens, Jo, $d 1961- $t Add kids, stir 
briskly.


If this approach is taken, would there be any difference in how many 
variant title 246s are made?

2013-10-01 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I recently taught at RDA at the National Library of Israel.  They do not 
have a single preferred script, nor a single language of cataloging.  In 
fact they have four: Hebrew, Arabic, roman, and Cyrillic.  Depending on 
the script of the resource they are cataloging, they will use an 
authorized access point in that script and the language of cataloging will 
depend on the language of the resource.  They have a unique authority 
record structure which uses a single record with multiple 1XXs for the 
authorized form in different scripts.  If I've misstated any of this and 
someone from NLI is reading, please feel free to correct and elaborate on 
this!

As I understand it, 8.4 is under general guidelines and is about

attributes of person, family,  corporate body, i.e. we're in the area of 
the group 2 entities and their attributes here.


Of course I agree that names also appear as part of statements of 
responsibility, but I believe that the relevant rule for this case belongs to 
section 1, namely 1.4: Record the following elements in the language and 
script in which they appear on the sources from which they are taken: (...) 
Statement of responsibility (...).


RDA assumes that a library will have a preferred language and script based 
on the needs of its users.  A library in the United States will prefer 
Latin script, a library in Russia will prefer Cyrillic, and a library in 
China will prefer Chinese script.  Of course, people will come up with 
hundreds of exceptions, but that seems to be the general idea.  I suppose 
it's possible that an agency could prefer all scripts.


Well, yes, admittedly the idea of preferring _all_ scripts is a bit of an 
oxymoron (although I found it rather clever). Maybe it would be better to 
say: Although the library does have a preferred script (and uses this in 
certain areas), it has decided not to use it for the preferred name of a 
person, instead always recording the preferred name in the original script 
(as it is found in the preferred source of information of the resource). I 
still think that this is the basic rule expressed in 8.4.


Of course, names in foreign scripts can also appear in other places and 
will then be recorded as variant names. This seems to be also covered in this 
rule, as it is about names in general.


In Germany, we have started using original scripts not so long ago, and not 
all systems can work with them. So we're still at an early stage. But using 
original scripts certainly is a general aim in the description of 
bibliographic entities here, although I'm sure that we'll always provide a 
transliterated version as well (because indeed not all users will be happy 
with a form in an original script).


In my understanding, the use of original scripts for certain elements is also 
a fundamental aim of RDA, and that's why the basic rules in 1.4, 5.4 and 8.4 
look like they do. True, most libraries will probably follow the alternative 
of using a transliterated form instead of the original script at least for 
the foreseeable future. But as this practice is ranked as an alternative, my 
interpreation is that the real intention of RDA is moving to original 
script cataloging.



I think the provision for variant names in 9.2.2.5.3 stands on its own. 
Follow the reference to 9.2.3.9 and you see several examples of variant 
names recorded in different scripts.


Sorry, but I'm still not sure about that one. Thanks for pointing me to 
9.2.3.9. I think this is the general rule of recording forms which differ in 
script from the one recorded as the preferred name. But why should that rule 
be doubled in 9.2.2.5.3? I'd still say 9.2.2.5.3 covers a fairly special 
situation where you have to choose between several transliterated forms (not 
knowing the one which you should use according to your scheme). Then it says

Re: [RDA-L] Additional JSC response documents

2013-10-01 Thread Adam L. Schiff
Regarding the 6JSC/BL/13/LC response at 
http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC-BL-13-LC-response.pdf, please note a typo 
in the first example on page 8:


Puymaigre, Th. de, (Theodore), comte

There should not be a comma after de.

I also continue to have concerns that the current text nor the proposed 
revisions deal with the very common issue of fictitious characters that 
have same preferred name.  I would like to see RDA address this somewhere. 
Under RDA it is not clear whether 9.6.1.7 or 9.6.1.9 is applicable in such 
a case.


For example, some PCC libraries are contributing records to the LC/NACO 
Authority File like this one:


100 0_ Bean $c (Fictitious character from Card)

Does the qualifier Fictitious character from Card fall under another 
appropriate designation from 9.6.1.7 or does it fall under 9.6.1.9? 
9.6.1.9 is limited to use when non of the five attributes listed there are 
sufficient or appropriate for distinguishing two or more persons with the 
same name.  None of those five attributes includes the designation for 
fictitious and legendary persons, and yet that designation is equally 
appropriate for two fictitious persons with the same name.


It seems to me therefore that for two fictitious persons who would 
otherwise have the same access point, RDA tells you to record two 
attributes: 1) Fictitious character, etc. from 9.6.1.7. 2) An other 
designation to further distinguish the persons, from 9.6.1.9.  That other 
designation could be the surname or name of the creator of the character, 
or perhaps something else, but would the additions be made like this?:


Bean (Fictitious character) (Card)

Bean (Fictitious character) (Barrows)

(and how would this be coded in MARC, with two $c's or one?)

If 9.6.1.7 is not appropriate in a situation like the one above, then I 
think RDA needs to say so and indicate that 9.6.1.9 would be applicable 
instead and an example should be provided to show that.

[RDA-L] Punctuation at end of 250 field

2013-09-28 Thread Adam L. Schiff
Hi all, I've got a question regarding ending punctuation in the 250 field. 
RDA D.1.2.1 indicates that in ISBD display, an full stop would be added 
after an edition statement, even if the statement ends in an abbreviation:


3rd ed.. --
not
3rd ed. --

LC-PCC Policy Statement for 1.7.1 says: If either field 245 or 250 does 
not end in a period, add one.


Am I correct in my thinking that the implication of this policy statement 
is that if an edition statement ends in an abbreviation, a second period 
would NOT be added?  In other words, which of the following is expected in 
a PCC record?:


250 ## $a 3rd ed..
  or
250 ## $a 3rd ed.

[Note: the examples are predicated on the abbreviation being found and 
transcribed as is from the resource].


Thanks,

Re: [RDA-L] RDA local printouts

2013-09-27 Thread Adam L. Schiff
And now, with this announcement, there is a simple way to propose new 
relationship designators, at least for PCC members:



The process for fast tracking PCC proposals for new and revised 
relationship designators has been developed. A form is posted on the PCC 
website http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/scs/RD-Requests.html that allows PCC 
members to request new terms and to request revisions of existing terms. 
The form submissions are vetted by the PCC Standing Committee on Standards 
and passed on to the PCC liaison to CC:DA , and the ALA representative to 
the JSC.


The link to the new form is posted on the PCC home page under the What's 
new section, as a link within the PCC Guidelines for the Application of 
Relationship Designators in Bibliographic Records 
http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Relat-Desig-Guidelines.docx, 
and on the Post RDA Implementation Guidelines and Standards

Also getting into new territory for me, would the RDA Manuscript-related elements

resource?



Production Method for Manuscript: printout



Scratch that idea. Better to apply the basic RDA concept of choosing the right 
kind of element-- an attribute element or a relationship element.

The use of printout here is as an attribute of the manifestation. Since there is a 
related manifestation element at play here, it's better to use printout as a 
relationship sub-element-- a designator in this case-- under the Related Manifestation element. 
Since such a designator doesn't exist yet, so it would have to be created.

2013-09-26 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Mac,

I was speculating about what one would do if adhering strictly to RDA. 
But I could be persuaded by Thomas Brenndorfer's argument that the 
publisher of the printout is the agency that printed it out.  I would also 
be content with a decision to apply the provider-neutral guidelines in 
reverse and give the publisher of the online in the publication elements. 
But that would not be what RDA itself says to do.

When changing print to electronic, the Provider Neutral Standard calls

should carry over.  They published it.  The library is just printing

We very much approve of the PN standard abandoning the LCRI, and

publisher of the content belongs in imprint.  (We add 264  2 for the

substitute a printer for a publisher.)

Re: [RDA-L] Title with embedded square brackets

Transcribe square brackets found on the source of information used.

2.3.1.4 Transcribe a title as it appears on the source of information (see 
1.7).


1.7.3 Transcribe punctuation as it appears on the source except for the 
following situations:


a) omit punctuation that separates data to be recorded as one element from 
data to be recorded as a different element


b) omit punctuation that separates data to be recorded as one element from 
data recorded as a second or subsequent instance of the same element.



Since brackets are marks of punctuation (see a nice list at

Gary,

If supplying a date per 1.9.2 is not possible, then you can apply the 2nd
paragraph of 2.8.6.6:

If an approximate date of publication for a single-part resource cannot
reasonably be determined, record *date of publication not identified*.
Indicate that the information was taken from a source outside the resource
itself (see 2.2.4).

Re: [RDA-L] Unknown date

2013-08-15 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Should be [Place of publication not identified] with the first word capitalized.  But 
better to record a probable country and probable date if you can.  At the very least you 
could do a [not after ...] date, e.g. [not after 2012] or [not after August 
15, 2013]

Subject: [RDA-L] Illustration terms in 7.15.1.3

I find it really difficult to understand what is meant by some of the terms 
for the various kinds of illustrations in 7.15 (in German cataloging, we only 
distinguish four kinds of illustrations). The German RDA translation isn't 
much help either.


So, could anybody help with my questions?

1. charts vs. graphs: I believe both are some kind of diagrams. Wikipedia 
distinguishes graph-based diagrams and chart-like diagrams - is that what 
is meant by the distinction?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagram
If so, is it really necesssary to distinguish this (wouldn't diagrams be 
good enough to cover both types)?



Probably diagrams would be fine.  Without looking them up, I'm not sure I could 
easily explain the difference either.


2. forms: Does that really refer to forms as in fill in this form, please?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_(document) 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_%28document%29
If so, I'm not sure I would have counted this as an illustration at all. I 
think it's not much different from tables containing only words and/or 
numbers, which we're told to ignore.




Blank forms.  Not meant to be filled in by the reader.  These are often found 
in documents that show what forms were used when a survey was taken.  They are 
often in theses or social survey results.


3. illuminations: I assume that this refers to manuscripts (or facsimiles of 
manuscripts), so I would use it for miniatures, decorated initials a.s.o. Is 
that the correct interpretation?


These are handpainted illustrations found in pre-printing press manuscripts.



4. samples: Here, I must say, I'm totally at a loss. If it's used in the 
ordinary meaning,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_(material) 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_%28material%29
I find it very difficult to think of an example in the field of illustrations 



These are actual samples of something (e.g., samples of fabrics, lace, etc.) 
that are glued onto pages.

Re: [RDA-L] honouree vs. honoree

The list of designators is a controlled list, and as best as I can say, you 
must use the term there as found, with the British/Canadian spelling.  The 
records that you've found that don't are, in my opinion, incorrect.

I know there is an LC-PCC PS stating to use the American spelling of
color, but don't see any such LC-PCC PS for the spelling of the
relationship designator honouree.  Doing a keyword search for rda and
honouree in a personal name yields 282 hits in LC's catalog, but doing the
same search with honoree yields 24 hits. Most of the 24 records have an
040 with only DLC in it, however many of these are In Process.  We get a
lot of Feschrifts at my institution, so while it appears honouree is the
predominately used spelling (and indeed the spelling in RDA), I'm just
wondering if anyone knows if LC or PCC has looked at the spelling of
honouree and if there might be a PS in the future saying to use the
spelling honoree.

only followed by the subseries title.  The way I see it, the name of the
main series doesn't appear anywhere by itself, or in conjunction with both
its (the main series) numbering and the subseries title, so I need to
supply it in a separate 490 and in square brackets.  I'm wondering if
anyone would consider that the square brackets are unnecessary as Champs
appears on the publication followed by the subseries title?

The PCC recommended guidelines for use of relationship designators 
(http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Relat-Desig-Guidelines.docx)
 say to include the relationship designator even when the MARC coding has the 
same or similar meaning.  In this case the second indicator value 2 tells you 
that the thing in that field is contained within the resource described, but 
the coding alone can't tell you whether it is a work or an expression, so the 
relationship designator allows us to be more specific.

Subject: [RDA-L] 1st original RDA record - questions

Hello,

I just entered my first originally cataloged RDA record to OCLC and have a 
couple of questions if the group would be so kind
to review my record.

I apologize for bringing up the self-published issue again so soon after the 
previous discussion but here are my questions:

In my record:

264 1[Place of publication not identified] : ǂb [David Estes], ǂc [2012]
264 2[North Charleston, South Carolina] : ǂb [CreateSpace]

What is on the resource is:
c2012 David Estes
Made in the USA, Lexington, KY, 28 June 2013

Amazon has:
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (November 23, 2012)

So for the publication statement I have:
264 _1 $a [Place of publication not identified] : $b [David Estes], $c [2012]

The author travels all over the world so I didn't think I could use [United 
States].

For the distribution statement I have:
264 _2 $a [North Charleston, South Carolina] : $b [CreateSpace]

I looked up the location of the corporate headquarters of CreateSpace on the 
Internet.

[North Charleston, South Carolina] is required because the place of publication 
is not
provided in the publication statement. Is that correct?

[CreateSpace] is not technically required because there is a publisher in the 
264 _1 but
I wanted CreateSpace in the record.  The date is not required in the 264 _2 for 
the same reason.
Is that correct?

Also, I think of CreateSpace as more of a manufacturer than a distributor (with 
Amazon
being the distributor) but the recent discussion on the list has been referring 
to
CreateSpace as a distributor and CreateSpace does sometimes refer to themselves 
as a distributor.

**
The other problem is there is a long short story (41 p.) contained in the book.

I made this 500 note.
Includes Anna's story, a dwellers short story and an excerpt from Fire country, 
book 1 of
The country saga.

I added a 700 12 Estes, David. $t Anna's story.

I consulted 25.1 and J.5.4 in RDA and the MARC mappings for the whole-part 
relationship
information. I did see examples in the LCPS for something like this:

700 1_ $i Contains (work): $a Estes, David. $t Anna's story.
but that wouldn't validate. Also the 774 can be used I think.

What is the current best practice in this area?

Thanks a lot for your consideration.

Re: [RDA-L] Correct use of relationship designators for corportate bodies

2013-08-02 Thread Adam L. Schiff

In answer to the first question, author is probably the most likely 
designator to use if the corporate body is a creator, but many other relationship 
designators in the appendix I for creators could also be used for corporate bodies.

An issuing body may not be the publisher.  Many journals are issued by a 
scholarly society but published by a commercial publisher.  When the issuing 
body and publisher are the same, you could use two relationship designators, 
but so far I've just used issuing body.

Subject: [RDA-L] Correct use of relationship designators for corportate bodies

Hi all,

I have questions about the correct use of the relationship designators, issuing body 
and author, especially for corporate bodies.

If a corporate body is considered the creator of a work (per RDA 19.2.1.1.1) and is 
recorded in the 110 of a bibliographic record, would you use the relationship designator 
author?

RDA mentions both publishing and issuing when defining publisher's name at RDA 2.8.4, 
so what's the difference between publishing something and issuing something?  When would you use 
issuing body as a relationship designator?

Thanks,
Cathy Crum

Re: [RDA-L] Correct use of relationship designators for corportate bodies

2013-08-02 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Using issuing body in a 1XX field would not be a correct use of RDA, since issuing 
bodies are not defined as creators.  The only designator that I see in I.2.2 that can for sure be 
used with a 1XX access point is defendant, since RDA allows you to name legal works 
with a defendant's name.

We would limit the use of author with a corporate body, to resources
entered under the corporate body, i.e., administrative resources about
the body such as annual reports.

We plan to use issuing body for conference names, in the absence of
anything better.

We assume commercial publishers would not be issuing bodies, but
rather private and government agencies.  Often the publisher differs
from the issuing body, e.g., a government publications office may be
the publisher, while an agency is the issuing body.

Re: [RDA-L] Content notes

There is no specific rule for this. But the basic instructions on 
recording contents notes are in 24.4.3 - contents notes are a form of 
structured description. 25.1.1.3 has examples of contents notes, but no 
instructions on how to formulate them.

Re: [RDA-L] Relationship designator for a conference (fwd)

2013-07-15 Thread Adam L. Schiff
You can, per PCC guidelines, use creator if nothing else is appropriate. 
However, author is what should be used in my opinion.


author A person, family, or corporate body responsible for creating a work 
that is primarily textual in content, regardless of media type (e.g., 
printed text, spoken word, electronic text, tactile text) or genre (e.g., 
poems, novels, screenplays, blogs).


Works can include other works.  A conference proceedings as a whole is a 
work, and the individual papers are also works.  But as an aggregate work, 
I think author is applicable to the conference corporate body access 
point.

I don't think they can be considered author; the individual speakers
(of their TAs) wrote the papers.  Also contributor does not work;
the conference received the contributions;  compiler would seem to

[RDA-L] How would you relate these two works?

2013-07-10 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I'm trying to figure out what relationship designator to use to relate two 
novels, one of which is described as a spinoff for young adult readers. 
Here's the basic information:


From http://geoffreygirard.wordpress.com/2013/02/: In September Simon  
Schuster will publish my first two novels at the same time. The first, 
Cain's Blood, is a techno thriller from Touchstone Books. The second, 
Project Cain, is a stand-alone companion novel for teen readers from Simon 
and Schuster Books for Young Readers. ... Cains Blood and Project Cain are 
two different novels written about the same fictional event. In both, 
scientists have been doing unpleasant things for the military and these 
unpleasant things escape. The two books explore the trouble/adventure that 
ensues and simply do so differently. Cains Blood uses the form/devices of 
a traditional thriller. It follows the story from a dozen viewpoints; 
mostly from former-army-Ranger Shawn Castilllos narrative Point of View 
(the character brought in to fix things), but also via chapters/scenes 
from the POV of various killers, military schemers, evil scientists, and 
victims. All capturing the big picture as the full horrifying story 
unfolds.


Project Cain is told from the POV of one character: Jeff Jacobson, the 
sixteen-year-old clone of Jeffrey Dahmer who has recently discovered his 
true origins and who is recruited by Castillo into helping, we hope, save 
the day. Its a much more personal story/journey told with the voice and 
reflections of a smart, lost and thoughtful teen. A thriller specifically 
written for younger readers (PG-13) and those adults still interested in 
young heroes.


From http://www.geoffreygirard.com/contact.html: Simon and Schuster will 
publish two Girard novels in 2013: Cain's Blood, a techno thriller, and 
Project Cain, a spinoff novel for teen/YA readers.


Looking at Appendix J.2 of RDA, it looks to me that the only possible 
useable designator there is complemented by (work) A work paired with 
another work without either work being considered to predominate.


I am wondering what others think.  Use complemented by (work) to relate 
these two novels, or should I suggest a new term to be added to RDA.  If 
so, what are the best suggestions for this new term?

I am just getting my toes wet with some RDA copy cataloguing based on LC bibs.

Looking at the bib for Louise Erdrich's Round House, LCCN 2012005381.
There is a 260 in this one still. I want to edit it to 264(s). So far, I have 
included:

264_1|aNew York, NY :|bHarper,|c[2012]  or maybe [2012?]

My queries:
Since the author is identified on the tp verso as copyright holder, do I 
include her in the second (copyright) 264? I don't think I have seen that done, 
but does not to do so imply that Harper has the copyright?

Should the square-bracketed inferred date in the first 264 have a question 
mark, or not. LC had it in 260 without copyright symbol. Haven't checked the

The indented terms are also available for use: so for an actor, you can
use actor or the broader term, performer.



If we can
use the more specific indented terms, how were we supposed to know that? I
wasn't sure if we are allowed to use these indented terms, or if they're
just further (and more specific) examples of what is meant by the bold
faced code. If we can use these more specific indented terms, I think it
might be helpful if RDA specifically said that following the definition of
a bold faced term (or you can use these more specific terms, or
something to that effect).



I agree these could be formatted better for scanning: bold's easier to see
than italic.  But as to the last point, there's this paragraph under I.1:



Use relationship designators at the level of specificity that is
considered appropriate for the purposes of the agency creating the data.
For example, the relationship between a screenplay and the screenwriter
responsible for the work can be recorded using either the specific
relationship designator screenwriter or the more general relationship
designator author.



Are we able to use relationship designators or terms such
as music copyist in a |e if they have a MARC 3-letter code, even if the
term does not appear in RDA?



Terms can come from outside of RDA (quoting I.1 again: If none of the
terms listed in this appendix is appropriate or sufficiently specific, use
another concise term to indicate the nature of the relationship).  My
opinion on code versus spelled out form: if using something from the MARC
relator term list, add to the record as a $4 code.  RDA 0.12 says that is
using a list of terms from outside of RDA (like for relationship
designators), these may be given provided the encoding scheme is
identified.  Codes in $4s are as close as you can get to a flashing neon
sign telling folks where the term (i.e., code) came from.



2.  I have a print series which contains lectures, can |e performer be
used for lecturers/speakers when the lecture is in print form?



I tend to think of performer as limited to someone we can see and hear
doing their craft.  Words on a page don't cut it in that respect; the
lecturer performed an authorial role to create the text.

264 #1 $a Syracuse, New York : $b [publisher not identified], $c [date of
publication not identified]
264 #4 $c ?2009

 

But as Adam noted, it?s better to try to supply a date (as in your second
example, which is fine). And actually, if you think about it, we probably
never need to record ?date of publication not identified? for a published
item even if we have no evidence whatsoever about the date of publication,
because we do know one thing: it was published before it got to us for
cataloging, so you can always record, if nothing else, ? $c [not after June
13, 2013]

 

(I know, I know, there?s the case where a publisher claims to have
published something in 2014 and we receive it in 2013, proving that things
sometimes get ?published? after we get them, but let?s deal with that
problem only if the publisher has explicitly put a future publication date
on the piece?this has been extensively discussed before in this forum, I
believe.)

 

Actually, I now have a question for the collective wisdom of the list. How
do you code the MARC fixed date fields if you have a ?not before? or a ?not
after? date of publication? I don?t see any explanation of this situation
in the documentation for 008/06 ? 008/14. I could possibly see using ?q?
and the date +  for a ?not before? date, but what about a ?not after?
date?

Julie,

LC-PCC Policy Statement for 2.8.6.6 says Supply a date of publication if 
possible, using the guidelines below, rather than give [date of 
publication not identified].


A. If an item lacking a publication date contains only a copyright date, 
apply the following in the order listed:


1. Supply a date of publication that corresponds to the copyright date, in 
square brackets, if it seems reasonable to assume that date is a likely 
publication date.


2. If the copyright date is for the year following the year in which the 
publication is received, supply a date of publication that corresponds to 
the copyright date.


B. If an item lacking a publication date contains a copyright date and a 
date of manufacture and the year is the same for both, supply a date of 
publication that corresponds to that date, in square brackets, if it seems 
reasonable to assume that date is a likely publication date.


C. If an item lacking a publication date contains a copyright date and a 
date of manufacture and the years differ, supply a date of publication 
that corresponds to the copyright date, in square brackets, if it seems 
reasonable to assume that date is a likely publication date. A manufacture 
date may also be recorded as part of a manufacture statement, or recorded 
as part of a Note on issue, part, or iteration used as the basis for 
identification of a resource (See 2.20.13), if determined useful by the 
cataloger.

For an author of the words of just the songs from a musical, see lyricist.

lyricist
An author of the words of a popular song, including a song or songs from a

So if the same person wrote the book (i.e. the dialogue) and the lyrics of a

written by different persons, librettist would be used for the author of the 
dialogue and lyricist for the author of the lyrics.

Objet : [RDA-L] Relationship designator for author of the book for a musical



Hi all,

What are people using for the author of the book for a musical?  The RDA
designator librettist seems to be for the sung words in a dramatic musical
work, rather than the spoken text.  I guess perhaps the correct term would
be author?  Or would people just use librettist for both the words to
the songs in a musical as well as the words spoken that aren't sung?  Or
perhaps use lyricist for the author of the words to the songs and
librettist for the author of the spoken words?

[RDA-L] Title proper choice (multiple parallel titles)

2013-06-10 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I am trying to figure out what RDA says to do when the preferred source 
has parallel titles and the content is equally divided among different 
languages.


2.3.2.4 says:

Title in More Than One Language or Script

If:

the content of the resource is written, spoken, or sung

and

the source of information for the title proper has a title in more than 
one language or script


then:

choose as the title proper the title in the language or script of the main 
content of the resource.


If the content is not written, spoken, or sung, choose the title proper on 
the basis of the sequence, layout, or typography of the titles on the 
source of information.


This instruction does not address what to do if there is no main content 
of the resource.  I am wondering if something got left out of the final 
paragraph or if there should be another paragraph that says what to do 
when the content is multiple languages/scripts with no main content?  My 
presumption is that you should choose the title proper on the basis of the 
sequence, layout, or typography of the titles on the source of 
information, but nothing tells us to do this.


Here's a specific real example:

Title page has titles in this order:

Arabic title
Chinese title
English title
French title
Russian title
Spanish title

(Yes, you guessed, it's a UN document).  The same content is present in 
all of these language, but curiously the order of the content as you page 
through the book is English text, French text, Spanish text, Chinese text, 
Russian text, Arabic text.


AACR2 1.1B8 did say what to do:  If the chief source of information bears 
titles in two or more languages or scripts, transcribe as the title proper 
the one in the language or script of the main written, spoken, or sung 
content of the item. If this criterion is not applicable, choose the title 
proper by reference to the order of titles on, or the layout of, the chief 
source of information. Record the other titles as parallel titles.


It seems to me that RDA as rewritten from AACR2 gets the criterion wrong. 
It shouldn't be that the content is not written, spoken, or sung, it 
should be that there is no main content in a single language.


In any case, there is nothing in RDA at present that tells me what title 
proper to choose in the example I've given above.  Is a rule revision or 
LC-PCC policy statement needed for this?

Re: [RDA-L] Language of expression

2013-06-07 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Joan,

In the Defiance example in 6.11.1.4 the recording of the language of 
expression would, in a bibliographic record, be done only in 041.  There 
aren't three different expressions of the film in English, German, 
Russian, there is only a single expression which has dialogue in 3 
languages.  So there wouldn't be separate expression access points for 
these three languages.  In its original theatrically released form, the 
film has just a single expression, and so you only use a work access point 
for it.  Just as you don't add an expression element to a work access 
point for the original expression in a single language, you wouldn't add 
any expression elements to the work access point for a film that is 
expressed in multiple languages.  It's only dubbed versions (translations) 
that we would include expression access points in a bibliographic record.

There isn't a good way or best practice yet to formulate and distinguish a

Yes, what I am talking about are authorized access points for expressions.
Language is a part of them.

I just realized that more than one expression contained in a manifestation
should go primary relationships between Group 1 entities. It may not be
covered by RDA 6.11.

A motion picture contains subtitles should not be considered multiple
expressions? I kind of agree with you. I looked at Library of Congress
Policy Appendix 1 (for motion pictures, television programs, radio
programs). It does say following RDA 6.11.1.4 to construct authorized
access points for a subtitled motion picture released under the same or a
different title. So

Since there are only two poems, why use a collective title for them?  Why 
not give access points for each of them, if their titles are known?  The 
access point Poems. Selections. English is quite misleading, since it

Hi Si?n,

Here are  my thoughts, for what they're worth!

Yes, I think it is useful to record the relationship between Neruda's work and 
Daughtrey's concerto. This is recorded as a relationship to a related work 
(25.1) and it could be recorded as an unstructured description in the 500 
rather than in 500 and 700 (see the 2nd example in the final box of examples at 
25.1.1.3).

As you point out, the text of the poems does not form part of the work, so the 
relationship designator musical setting of (work) is not appropriate. Using 
an unstructured description to record the relationship eliminates the need for a 
relationship designator. You could record a whole-part relationship as a 700 to record 
the fact that the poems are contained in the resource, using a relationship designator 
from J.3.4:

100 1 ?a Daughtrey, Nathan ?e composer.
240 10  ?a Concertos, ?m vibraphone, percussion ensemble
245 10  ?a Concerto for vibraphone  percussion ensemble / ?c Nathan Daughtrey.
500?a The two-movement work draws inspiration from two opposing poems by 
Pablo Neruda that depict night and day--Program notes.
700 12 ?i Contains (expression): ?a Neruda, Pablo, ?d 1904-1973. ?t Poems. ?k 
Selections. ?l English.

I apologise in advance if my thoughts are incorrect - I'm happy to be corrected!

Subject: [RDA-L] Relationship designators for related expressions, works etc 
for a music score

Hi everyone,

Hoping I could get some advice on a music score I am currently cataloguing in 
RDA.

My score is a concerto for Vibraphone and Percussion ensemble. The program 
notes written in the score include two poems by Pablo Neruda (written in 
English) and the statement ?The two-movement work draws inspiration from two 
opposing poems by Pablo Neruda that depict night and day?. The poems do not 
form any part of the actual music of the score (so would not be performed as 
they are neither narrated or sung). Whilst they will not be part of any 
performance of the score I want to make reference to Neruda as the poems were 
considered significant enough inspiration to the composer that their text was 
printed in the program notes. My questions are


1.   Am I correct in my assumption that Neruda?s work/inspiration should be 
recorded in the record as a related expression?

2.   Is a name title 700 entry (see below) the best way to do this?

3.   Is the relationship designator I have used from Appendix J (J 2.2) of 
the toolkit the appropriate one given that the text does not form part of the 
actual work? (i.e. it?s not a libretto) -  ?i musical setting of (work). If not 
what is the alternative?


100 1 ?a Daughtrey, Nathan ?e composer.

240 1 0  ?a Concertos, ?m vibraphone, percussion ensemble
245 1 0  ?a Concerto for vibraphone  percussion ensemble / ?c Nathan Daughtrey.
500?a The two-movement work draws inspiration from two opposing poems by 
Pablo Neruda that depict night and day. -- Program notes.

700 1 2  ?i musical setting of (work) ?a Neruda, Pablo, ?d 1904-1973. ?t Poems. 
?k Selections. ?l English.

Apologies in advance if my questions are a bit too basic for the forum but I am 
fairly new to cataloguing. Thanks for any guidance you can offer.


Kind regards

Re: [RDA-L] English Hebrew -- English.. a taste of things to come?

2013-05-31 Thread Adam L. Schiff
Each of these types of authority records for expressions with multiple 
languages needs to result in two or more new authority records, with the 
original record cancelled (it could be put in 040 $z of the new RDA 
records, but Coop Team personnel would have to do that, since we can't add 
040 $z in OCLC).  And as Gary pointed out in a previous message, we still 
don't have a best practice as to what to use for the expression in the 
original language.  LC-PCC policy statements show that LC catalogers will 
not add the original language to the work access point, so that the work 
access point doubles as the access point for the original expression.


Example:

010n  92057471 
100 1_ Amin, Samir. $t Avenir du socialisme. $l English  French

400 1_ Amin, Samir. $t Future of socialism

would result in deleting record n  92057471 and:

010new LCCN $z n  92057471 
100 1_ Amin, Samir. $t Avenir du socialisme. $l English

400 1_ Amin, Samir. $t Future of socialism

and

[RDA-L] ISSN placement in 490

2013-05-29 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I've got a question about where to record the ISSN when there is both a 
series title proper and a parallel series title.  RDA doesn't provide any 
guidance or examples for this situation.


Consider this situation:

Series Title Proper: Frankfurt contributions to natural history
Numbering Within Series: volume 55

Parallel Series Title Proper: Frankfurter Beitrage zur Naturkunde
Parallel Numbering Within Series: Band 55

ISSN appears once in the resource: 1613-2327

For ISBD punctuation, RDA appendix D tells us that a comma precedes the 
ISSN, but it doesn't tell us where to put the ISSN when there is a series 
title proper and a parallel series title proper.  I went to the ISBD 
consolidated and it doesn't address this situation EXCEPT with this 
example:


. -- (Title proper of series, ISSN ; numbering within series = Parallel 
title of series, ISSN ; parallel numbering within series)


Based on the ISBD example, it seems that we should repeat the ISSN:

490 1_ $a Frankfurt contributions to natural history, $x 1613-2327 ; $v 
volume 55 = $a Frankfurter Beitrage zur Naturkunde, $x 1613-2327 ; $v Band 
55


Is this what we should do in RDA?  Or should we just record the ISSN once, 
and if so, does it go after the series title proper or after the parallel 
series title?

Re: [RDA-L] authorized access point for person/family/corporate body

2013-05-13 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Thomas,

What you said about films is not quite totally correct.  Appendix I does 
have a relationship designator under creator of work:


filmmaker A person, family, or corporate body responsible for creating an 
independent or personal film. A filmmaker is individually responsible for 
the conception and execution of all aspects of the film.


For a very small subset of films, if one person/family/corporate body were 
responsible for all aspects, that entity would be the creator of the work 
and the film would be named using the combination of Creater/Preferred 
title.  This is most likely to happen for student works and home movies, I 
imagine.  If you think of all of those YouTube videos where someone points 
a camera at themselves and just talks to the camera, I think that would be 
a case that would fall under the designator filmmaker.

If an other person/family/corporate body associated with the work is used to

Another way to state this is to say whoever became the main entry in AACR2 is a core element value 
in RDA (the instructions for authorized access points for works in RDA 6.27-6.31 are where one 
finds the equivalent to AACR2 main entry rules). Only one person, family or corporate body is 
chosen for that spot, whether it's a creator or an other associated with the 
work.

In MARC terms, what RDA 18.3 is saying is that the name found in the 1XX field 
is the core element, but names found in 7XX fields are not core elements.


Interestingly, for moving image works like movies, there is no core relationship element. All 
persons or corporate bodies associated with the work when it comes to movies fall under the element 
Other Person, Family or Corporate Body Associated with the Work (examples: film 
director, film producer). There are none that fall under the Creator element.

But because the authorized access point for a moving image work is formed only 
with the preferred title (RDA 6.27.1.3) then there is no person or corporate 
body that becomes part of the authorized access point for a moving image work. 
Therefore, the director or producer for a moving image work are not core 
elements.

In other words, in the case of a movie, there may be several people that fall under the 
element Other Person, Family or Corporate Body Associated with the Work but 
not a single one of them becomes a core element because none of them are used to form the 
authorized access point for the movie.

Hi, all
I have two questions about authorized access points for person/family/corporate 
body.
Q1:
RDA 18.3 says that creator is a core element. If there is more than one, only the 
principle or the first-named creator is required. It also says that other 
person/family/corporate body associated with a work is a core element (if the access 
point representing that person/family/ corporate body is used to construct the authorized 
access point representing the work). But it does not mention the situation of more 
than one. I assume that we can follow the requirement for creator if there is more 
than one person/family/corporate body associated with a work other than a creator.



Re: [RDA-L] authorized access point for person/family/corporate body

2013-05-13 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Andrea,

I think you are reading too much into the word filmmaker - this is just 
the term that the JSC chose to use to describe the relationship of a 
person/family/corporate body as the sole creator of a film.  A person who 
makes a YouTube video entirely themself, with no other collaborators, is 
by RDA definition, the filmmaker responsible for the creation of that 
work.  Doesn't matter whether or not they think of themselves as a 
filmmaker/auteur.


As for screenwriter, I think you have to think about the screenplay as a 
work in and of itself.  These are published commonly, and in that context, 
the creator is at the level of the work, and could be labelled as an 
author, or, more specifically because RDA provides such a more specific 
term, as screenwriter.  Perhaps in the context of the motion picture as a 
work itself, the screenwriter is not a creator, but in the context of the 
screenplay published as its own separate work, he/she certainly is, just 
as the playwright for a published play is.

I used to create home movies and student films, but I would not consider myself

backyard during a snowstorm would not necessarily think of themselves as a 
filmmaker, either.

I tend to think of filmmaker in the context of the RDA definition as someone like a John Sayles or 
John Cassavetes or even Spielberg, Scorsese, and Clint Eastwood-- all auteurs who have a personal 
style and who generally can choose their own projects and have creative control over all aspects of 
the production. Even in this context, I still would not think of any of these filmmakers as 
individually responsible for the conception and execution of all aspects of the 
production. Part of their personal style is dependent on the cast and crew that they 
elect to work with-- Steven Spielberg relies on John Williams as composer, Eastwood on 
cinematographer and production designer Henry Bumstead, Sayles and Cassavetes with their repertory 
of actors, Scorsese with editor Thelma Schoonmaker and his repertory of actors, notably DeNiro and 
now Leo DiCaprio.

There's also screenwriter listed as a relationship designator under creator of 
work, yet I admit to having trouble with a screenwriter as creator of a moving 
image work, while the director, producers, production company, director of 
photography are all under others associated with the work. Screenwriters are 
assigned as a core element when the relationship is to a publication of the 
screenplay, but not in the context of a moving image work of mixed 
responsibility, particularly since the screenplay goes through numerous 
revisions during the production process. If any of you have seen the 
interstitial on TCM about Dog Day Afternoon (1975) that's been running over the 
last few days, it's one example of this process. Rather than follow the script, 
the actors were encouraged to ad lib the dialogue, and then each night, the 
director and screenwriter would document the ad libs and restructure the script 
to incorporate the adlibs that worked.

The reason you don't see the word active in the examples is because period 
of activity is a separate element in RDA, so by definition the dates 
recorded in that element are activity/flourished dates.  Since there isn't 
a separate element for this in MARC 21, we have to add in the word 
active to the access points.

Re: [RDA-L] Items that are both in hard copy and PDF

2013-05-07 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Kyley,

These are two different manifestations and they are not issued together, 
so I don't think you can or should describe them as a multipart monograph. 
In RDA you would probably create two separate records, but you could 
probably just create a record for the print and then note the existence of 
the online version as a different manifestation (776 field and/or 530 
note) and add an 856 41 field that links to the online version.

Sarah,

The 4th paragraph of RDA 9.0 indicates that the scope of person in RDA
includes fictitious entities, such as literary figures, legendary
figures, etc. So, you follow the same instructions for the name of a
fictitious entity as you would for the name of any other person. The
context, however, must be that the fictitious entity is functioning in a
role as creator (ch. 19), contributor (ch. 20), etc.; if the fictitious
entity's role is only as subject of the resource, the RDA instructions
do not apply.

Re: [RDA-L] Two questions

2013-04-25 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Dear collective wisdom,

I and another cataloger here at CUNY Central Office have two questions 
regarding creating personal name authority records using RDA:

1.  The more theoretical question.  In fields 372 and 374 (field of activity 
and occupation), the instructions in RDA give very generic phrases, such as 
Theater, Literature, Poets, etc.  However, if the information stored in these 
fields is being considered (as has been suggested in various posts on various 
lists) for use not only in identification, but also for searching, would it not 
be better to have more specific information, such as Dominican literature and 
Dominican authors (we are working on a project involving these)?  I don't see 
any prohibition in this regard, but no one seems to do this.


Language of the person's works is already represented in field 377. 
Nationality terms may be coming in the future in the newly approved 386 
field for group characteristics (see 
http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2013/2013-06.html).



2.  DCM Z1 says that it is preferable to take the terms in these fields from 
LCSH.  However, in the case of authors, the term Writer is used, rather than 
Authors (Writer being the term used in RDA).  Which is preferable?


The examples in RDA are not prescriptive, they are just illustrative, 
although they are all in the singular form because they illustrate terms 
that could be added to an access point, which would be in the singular. 
While Authors is the LCSH form, another controlled vocabulary might use 
Writers.  LCSH is not prescribed as the sole source of these terms.  The 
DCM Z1 simply says to prefer a controlled vocabular such as LCSH or 
MeSH.

[RDA-L] originally serialized in relationship

2013-04-19 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I have a graphic novel that says This was originally serialized in 
Metropolis magazine between 1998 and 2012.  On the record for the graphic 
novel, I'd like to include a relationship to the serial:


730 0_ Metropolis (New York, N.Y.)

Any suggestions what an appropriate relationship designator should be. 
There does not seem to be anything in RDA J.2 that is appropriate, in fact 
I am not sure that this kind of relationship fall into any of the broad 
categories of J.2:


Derivative
Descriptive
Whole-Part
Accompanying
Sequential

Whole-Part is probably the closest, since the individual comics that are 
collected in the graphic novel originally appeared separately in the 
magazine.  But the graphic novel as a whole could not really be said to 
have been contained in Metropolis, could it?  Or is this too nitpicky in 
my thinking?


J.1 says If none of the terms listed in this appendix is appropriate or 
sufficiently specific, use a term indicating the nature of the 
relationship as concisely as possible.  So I think I will use for now:


730 0_ $i Originally serialized in: $a Metropolis (New York, N.Y.)

But I am wondering if this should be proposed for inclusion in RDA and if 
so, under what category - J.2.4 in the contained in (work) section?

[RDA-L] Spelling of Qur'an

2013-04-15 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I see that the LC/NACO authority records for Koran have been changed to the 
form Qurʼan, with an alif.  This is the correct Arabic transliteration of the 
word, but when we were doing the examples for RDA we were told by the JSC to 
use an apostrophe rather than an alif for all of our examples.  We were 
instructed to use an apostrophe presumably because the apostrophe is commonly 
used in English language resources.  So I'm not sure if the change to an alif 
was an intentional change or not.  If the alif is intentional, then the RDA 
examples need to be changed too.

No they are different characters and in some fonts they do not display the same 
(even in OCLC you can see that they are different characters).  If you search 
RDA in the RDA toolkit using the form found in the authority file (copy and

Except, think about how people are going to cite such a work in their 
research.  I doubt many take the bib record from our catalogs and use 
that.  Instead they will probably look at the book in hand, see only a 
copyright date, and record that year in their bibliographies.  Two, five, 
ten years from now, that book is going to be seen in the scholarly 
community as from 2014, not from 2013.

I'm puzzled by this approach, which seems to second-guess the publisher's

idea that the resource itself makes any statement about having been
published in 2013. If a cataloger first encountered this item in 2014+,
they'd have no reason to believe it was published in anything other than
2014, because that's the date printed on the thing itself, yes?

(I know there are reverse cases where a later ed. such as trade pbk.
does not actually state its publication date and simply retains the
copyright of the first hc ed., resulting in situations like [2002],

Rare books might be different, and I am no RDA guru, but my feeling would

With RDA, reproductions in a new format (such as microform) shift cataloging

catalog the original material's information. However, there doesn't seem to be 
a LCPS, at least not yet, to the same effect.

Using RDA for cataloging microform reproductions, this means that the original 
only gets noted in a 776 field, where it seems that the original dates of the 
material won't be indexed for user searches in the catalog. The 264, 300, and 
fixed fields, etc., will contain the publisher/producer of the current 
microform manifestation in hand, losing the date and publisher of the original 
content held in such fields previously (via the LCRI). Also along these lines, 
could names and corporate bodies associated with the original still be given 
access points in 7xx fields and if so what's the best $e/$4 for 
them...bibliographical antecedent? How do users find the 1500 rare book that's 
now scanned to microform in 2012 or a government report released in 2009 but 
filmed as a reproduction in 2013?

Has anyone else dealt with this? Perhaps this will be resolved somewhat, for 
rare books at least, when DCRM(B) new guidelines are released for RDA. Is there 
other ways to include the original content in the bibliographical record of the

Actually if you are recording the state of Victoria in the 370, current 
policy and RDA instructions tell you to use the abbreviations for places 
in Appendix B.11, which means that you would record the form that would be 
used if the place were being added as a qualifier:


Vic.

Recording Victoria spelled out is not correct according to current policy.

Victoria.

So, perhaps it should  be recorded as:


370  Australia--Victoria

(But DCM Z1 370 says nothing of the sort!)


My understanding is that Victoria is a neighborhood in London adjoining the

Even printed theses by computer have always been considered unpublished

that it matters if one has a printout from the computer file or a digital 
image of the file contents.  Theses are produced in one or a very few

that published monographs are made.  I just see digital theses as

2)
In the context of production method for manuscripts, any handwritten

[RDA-L] Question on 16.2.2.11

2013-02-28 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I have a question regarding the new instruction 16.2.2.11 on overseas 
territories, dependencies, etc. that is included in 6JSC/ALA/19/Sec final 
(online at http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC-ALA-19-Sec-final.pdf).


Does this instruction change the way that the access points for the 
British Crown dependencies of Guernsey and Jersey will be constructed? 
And I am also wondering whether the Channel Islands would be considered a 
jurisdiction in RDA.


The current AACR2 headings are:

Channel Islands  (n  81104069)
Guernsey (Channel Islands)  (n  82098821)
Jersey (Channel Islands)  (n  79086822)

From information in Wikipedia, the Channel Islands do not appear to be a 
jurisdiction, just an island group (archipelago).  They include two 
separate British Crown dependencies, the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the 
Bailiwick of Jersey.  (The third Crown dependency, the Isle of Man, is in 
the Irish Sea).  All three dependencies are self-governing and 
independently administered jurisdictions.


The Crown dependencies article in Wikipedia says:

Since 1290, the Channel Islands have been governed as:

the Bailiwick of Jersey, comprising the island of Jersey and 
uninhabited islets such as the Minquiers and crhous


the Bailiwick of Guernsey comprising the islands of Guernsey, Sark, 
Alderney, Brecqhou, Herm, Jethou and Lihou.


The CIA's The World Factbook online also has separate entries for Isle of 
Man, Jersey, and Guernsey, i.e. no entry for a jurisdiction of Channel 
Islands.


It appears from this information and the instruction in RDA 16.2.2.11 that 
the access points for Jersey and Guernsey would be changed to unqualified 
places, but I'm wondering if this is a correct assumption?  And it also 
appears that Channel Islands are not a jurisdiction at all and should be 
in the subject file rather than the names file.


Thanks,

Adam

Re: [RDA-L] Multiple identities named on same manifestation

2013-02-27 Thread Adam L. Schiff
The relevant RDA instruction is 6.27.1.7 Different Identities for an 
Individual Responsible for a Work.



If:
an individual responsible for a work has more than one identity (see 
9.2.2.8)


and

there is no consistency in how that individual is identified on resources 
embodying the work


then:

construct the authorized access point representing the work by combining 
(in this order):


a) the authorized access point representing the identity most frequently 
used on resources embodying the work (see 9.19.1)


b) the preferred title for the work (see 6.2.2).

If the identity used most frequently cannot be readily determined, 
construct the authorized access point representing the work by combining 
(in this order):


a) the authorized access point representing the identity appearing in the 
most recent resource embodying the work


b) the preferred title for the work (see 6.2.2).

Re: [RDA-L] Multiple identities named on same manifestation

2013-02-27 Thread Adam L. Schiff
I didn't answer Lori's specific questions when I cited the relevant RDA 
instruction.


The name in the 100 should be whichever one is the result from applying 
6.27.1.7.  The other name should NOT be included as an access point, 
because, at least in theory, the authority record for the work would have 
that as a variant access point for the authorized access point for the 
work.


A real life example is name authority record LCCN no2004010236:

100 1_ $a Rampling, Anne, $d 1941- $t Exit to Eden
400 1_ $a Rice, Anne, $d 1941- $t Exit to Eden

It has this justification:

670$a OCLC 11159573: Exit to Eden, 1985 $b (Anne Rampling)
670$a OCLC 34232466: Exit to Eden, 1996, c1985 $b (Anne Rice writing 
as Anne Rampling)
670$a OCLC, Feb. 19, 2013 $b (Anne Rampling is the identity most 
frequently used on resources embodying the work)

Re: [RDA-L] Use of subfield $b in 336, 337, 338

2013-02-25 Thread Adam L. Schiff
If you are using OCLC Connexion, there is a macro to supply these fields 
and it supplies both the term and code in $a and $b.  So that is one 
reason you are seeing both in many records.  LC's policy for its 
catalogers (see DCM B.13.13.2) is to record the term in $a, but if $b is 
present in copy they will accept it rather than delete it.  If only $b is 
present, they will add $a.

Re: [RDA-L] 502 coding in RDA

2013-02-22 Thread Adam L. Schiff
In RDA, each of the bits you described is actually a separate element, 
which is why the separate subfielding in MARC is needed, so that you can 
actually record the RDA elements called for.


7.9.2 Academic Degree
7.9.3 Granting Institution or Faculty
7.9.4 Year Granted

That being said, the LC-PCC Policy Statement for 7.9.1.3 that says Record 
the sub-elements related to dissertation or thesis information as 
described in RDA in the appropriate subfield of MARC field 502, without 
AACR2-style punctuation between the sub-elements is going to be labeled 
as LC practice.  The PCC policy will be to leave the method for 
recording this information to cataloger judgment.


We haven't yet decided how we will record dissertation notes, but I 
suspect we will follow LC.

I am trying to make a local decision on the 502 for our catalog in preparation for 
RDA training.   I remember some discussions on this topic a month and 2 ago  
am hoping to hear that someone has come up with a good solution since.

We would like to start coding the 502 subfields, but as best we can tell, our 
catalog, Ex Libris, is not able to generate punctuation that is not in the 
catalog record. Our public services librarians would very much like to retain 
as close to our current standard thesis note as possible.

I understand (or assume at least there is) the assumption that systems will 
eventually be able to add the desired punctuation to this note. But what I do 
not understand about the RDA admonition to remove punctuation from the 502 in 
particular, is how local systems are handling this currently.

Under AACR2, a sample free text 502 reads:
?a Thesis (M. of Military Art and Science (General Studies))--U.S. Army Command 
and General Staff College, 2012.
Which of course generates this display:
Thesis (M. of Military Art and Science (General Studies))--U.S. Army Command 
and General Staff College, 2012.

The closest we can get to this, with RDA coding is:

?b M. of Military Art and Science ?g General Studies ?c U.S. Army Command and 
General Staff College ?d 2012.

With a helpful system-generated label, we get:

Dissertation Note: Master of Military Art and Science General Studies U.S. Army 
Command and General Staff College 2012.

Are other libraries just accepting this?  Continuing with the |a free text field 
 full punctuation?  Adding punctuation to the subfields?  Is there some other 
option I've not though of?

It seems a shame not to start coding this field for our local theses especially 
as we start working with RDA, but I'm not liking the options I feel I have here 
to bring to my colleagues.

I'd be interested in what other libraries that catalog a lot of dissertations 
are doing with their 502s.

Re: [RDA-L] Change of title, not content : RDA experts

2013-02-19 Thread Adam L. Schiff
For each resource you must name the work embodied in the resource.  That 
can be done with an authorized access point (e.g. in MARC 130, or 100/240, 
or it can be implied with 100/245 (or 245 alone) when the title portion 
of the authorized access point of the work is identical to the 
manifestation title.


As to whether to name the revised edition using the title of the previous 
edition or not, I found this in RDA:


If the work is presented simply as an edition of the previously existing 
work, treat it as an expression of that work. Use the authorized access 
point representing the previously existing work. If it is considered 
important to identify the particular expression, construct an authorized 
access point representing the expression as instructed at 6.27.3


But this instruction is at 6.27.1.6 and deals specifically with 
Commentary, Annotations, Illustrative Content, Etc., Added to a Previously 
Existing Work.  So I'm not sure if this applies in your case.


In the RDA NACO bridge training, in demonstration 8.b, there is an example 
of a dictionary that changed titles between editions, and a 130 is given 
for the original work, without any expression elements added to it.  When 
I inquired about that, Melanie Polutta explained LC's policy:


if I was really implementing RDA to its fullest, then I would be adding 
an expression element to the revised edition authorized access point, from 
the Other distinguishing characteristic of Expression to make those 
expressions unique, the same as we do currently for language expressions. 
But right now, in MARC, that would create more work than it is worth, for 
the same reason that LC is currently choosing NOT to create unique NAR's 
for every variant translation in the same language. TOO MUCH WORK. I COULD 
be creating a 130/240 for those revised editions that would be Name. Title 
of Work (Revised edition), with all the NAR's implied. But the sheer 
number of NAR's there is really not to be considered at this point. So 
what we have focused on is that the variant expressions in the same 
language all need to be unified under the authorized access point based on 
Title of Work, thus the use of the 130, where we never used it before, and 
the need for an NAR when using a 240.


So I think the answer to your question Gene, is that there should be a 240 
with the title portion of the authorized access point for the earlier 
edition.  I'm assuming that Greer is the first named creator of both?  If 
not, the 100 field would be the creator of the earlier edition.  All this 
is presuming that what we have is an expression of the same work, rather 
than a new work.

Probably John, but the example illustrates the more simple case of two 
editions with the identical title.  It's obviously more of a judgment call 
if you have versions with different titles, but hopefully the later 
version clearly states that it is just a revision of the earlier edition.


Maybe it would be good to add an additional example at this part of that 
instruction.   I'll suggest it to the RDA Examples Group.

transcribe not simply the first three, five or ten names, but perhaps

the statement in question like this (although the three names are not next 
to each other in the source of information):


[contributions by] Madeleine Albright, Carla Del Ponte, Joschka Fischer

Or do we feel it would be necessary to indicate that there are seven other 
names between Albright and Del Ponte, and another six between Del Ponte 
and Fischer? This might get awkward...

Transcription of copyright date is a core element (Mandatory) if neither

Re: [RDA-L] Recording Statements of Responsibility Relating to Series

2012-11-26 Thread Adam L. Schiff

Agreed, Chris.  The MARC 800/810/811/830 already conveys the designator in series 
(work) so adding the designator would be redundant.  One alternative in MARC would 
be to use the 7XX for related work, in which case the relationship designator WOULD be 
useful:

700 1_ $i In series (work): $a Author. $t Title.

This would work fine for unnumbered series, but instead of $v used in 8XX, 
you'd have to use $n in a 7XX.  But since we have more specific MARC coding for 
the series relationship, there's no reason to go the 7XX route.

What you have here is what appears to be a good MARC field based on RDA instructions in Section 8, 
Recording Relationships between Works, Expressions, Manifestations,  Items, including 
24.4.2, Authorized Access Point Representing the Related Work or Expression.  This is an 
access point, dealing with the relationship between related resources (in this case the resource being

Statement of responsibility of the series is an attribute of the manifestation and is handled in RDA 
Section 1, Recording Attributes of Manifestation  Item, specifically 2.12, 
Series Statement.  Putting the series statement into MARC, and using ISBD formatting, would 
result in something like this (I'm guessing at what may actually be appearing on the resource):

One of the first things I noticed was the example that showed Tunnel books as 
a subject.  While this may reflect (incorrect) MARC 21 coding as 650, the resource/work 
being described is clearly not ABOUT tunnel books, it IS a tunnel book.  The correct MARC 
coding of course would be either 655 and/or 380.  Any new framework model needs to 
understand that genre/form is not the same as subject, and both need to be accommodated.

One problem we have with both terms and codes is that needed ones are
lacking.  For example, what code would you use for the agency for
which a report was prepared?  That agency is certainly NOT an author,
although recipient agency was given $eauthor at a recent RDA workshop.
I would be tempted to use $4rcp, but I suspect that was intended for
the recipient of correspondence; $4oth $eother would help no one.  We
have many such agencies in the electronic resources we catalogue.


We are regularly suggesting new needed designators, and these are 
generally fasttracked by the JSC.  You should submit suggestions/proposals 
(with definitions) to your JSC rep (CCC/LAC).  MARC relator/terms codes 
can be suggested to LC at nd...@loc.gov.  I would like to see the JSC 
align their terms with MARC codes so that there's a one-to-one 
correspondence if possible.  For now, we've started using the RDA 
designators even in our AACR2 cataloging instead of the codes, but I think 
codes are a better way to go in the long run since they are language 
independent.

Re: [RDA-L] Date of publication not identified DtSt, Dates

2012-10-21 Thread Adam L. Schiff

The LC-PCC Policy Statement 2.8.6.6 says:

1. Supply a date of publication that corresponds to the copyright date, in 
square brackets, if it seems reasonable to assume that date is a likely 
publication date.


If you supply a probable date, then you don't need to record the copyright 
date, although you certainly can.  So with a c2005 date on your piece, you 
would do either:


264 _1 $c [2005]

Type of date: s

Dates: 2005,

or you could do:

264 _1 $c [2005]
264 _4 $c (c)2005

Type of date: t

Dates: 2005, 2005

The LC-PCC PS also says:

2. If the copyright date is for the year following the year in which the 
publication is received, supply a date of publication that corresponds to 
the copyright date.
