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
The standard rule in RDA 3.4.1.3 is to record the extent of a resource
by using a term from the list of carrier types in 3.3.1.3, e.g.
1 videodisc. But according to RDA 3.4.1.5 c) it is also possible to
use a term in common usage (e.g. 1 DVD) as an alternative to a term
listed at 3.3.1.3, if
Addendum: I just noticed that the present rule in 3.4.1.5 c) is going to
be moved to 3.4.1.3 according to this proposal:

Dear Heidrun,
Here in Cambridge we have recommended that staff should prefer to
give a term in common usage when doing original cataloguing. When
dealing with a downloaded record, we have said that we can simply accept

I have a question about MARC encoding of multiple languages in a single
expression. RDA instructs us to record language of expression as a separate
element, as part of an access point, or as both. RDA 6.11.1.4 says

I am sure that both John Attig and Kathy Glennan are reading these emails,
as are the good folks at LC. Hopefully they agree that the instruction is

Heidrun asked:
So I wonder: What is the general practice now? Do you use things like
audiodisc and videodisc for the extent, or rather a straightforward
CD and DVD?
In some cases, the RDA carrier term is the only option, e.g.,
volume. In others, our clients find these terms too general,
