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

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

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).

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

Re: [RDA-L] Prize winners in authority records
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 and expressions: In title or name/title authority records, a category to which a creator(s) or contributor(s) to a work belongs. But the original proposal did discuss the possibility of using it for persons or other group 2 entities as well.

Re: [RDA-L] Access points vs. cross references - Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain
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)).

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

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.

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.

[RDA-L] alternative titles and variant access points
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? --Adam ^^ Adam L.

Re: [RDA-L] Names found in a non-preferred script (8.4 vs. 9.2.2.5.3 and 11.2.2.12)
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.

It doesn't say whether they are in a statement of responsibility or a preferred name or access point or whatever. Now this discussion is getting really interesting... Disagreeing with you makes me feel decidedly uncomfortable, but in my understanding, the whole of chapter 8 belongs under the heading Recording 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).

Re: [RDA-L] Additional JSC response documents
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
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, Adam ^^ Adam L.

Re: [RDA-L] RDA local printouts
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 http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Post-RDA-Implementation-Guidelines.html web page.

Re: [RDA-L] RDA local printouts
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. Adam On Thu, 26 Sep 2013, J. McRee Elrod wrote: Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:38:59 -0700 From: J.

Who would benefit from that erroneous space consuming 264 1? When changing print to electronic, the Provider Neutral Standard calls for the original print publisher in 264 1. When changing electronic to print, the same principle should apply; the electronic imprint should carry over. They published it. The library is just printing it. We very much approve of the PN standard abandoning the LCRI, and describing what one has. The PN standard gets it right that the publisher of the content belongs in imprint. (We add 264 2 for the aggregator, but we seem to be alone in that. We would never substitute the aggregator for the publisher, anymore than we would substitute a printer for a publisher.) __ __ J.

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.

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.

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.

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

Re: [RDA-L] Correct use of relationship designators for corportate bodies
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. On Fri, 2 Aug 2013, J.

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

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

Are we allowed to use, then, the more specific terms indented underneath the relationship designator performer (which is in bold), or are we to use performer only, to cover all those types of situations represented by the more specific indented not in bold terms? 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. -- Mark K. Ehlert Minitex http://www.minitex.umn.edu/

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.

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

Re: [RDA-L] Language of expression
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. ^^ Adam L.

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.

Re: [RDA-L] English Hebrew -- English.. a taste of things to come?
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 010new LCCN $z n 92057471 100 1_ Amin, Samir. $t Avenir du socialisme. $l French or 010new LCCN $z n 92057471 100 1_ Amin, Samir. $t Avenir du socialisme ^^ Adam L.

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?

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

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.

Re: [RDA-L] authorized access point for person/family/corporate body
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 would tend to think someone who puts up a YouTube video they shot of their 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.

Re: [RDA-L] Two questions
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. ** * Adam L.

[RDA-L] originally serialized in relationship
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.)

[RDA-L] Spelling of Qur'an
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.

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).

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?

[RDA-L] Question on 16.2.2.11
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 ^^ Adam L.

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

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

Re: [RDA-L] 502 coding in RDA
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 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.

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

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

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

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.

Re: [RDA-L] BIBFRAME model document announced
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. ^^ Adam L.

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
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. ^^ Adam L.
