[RDA-L] Content/Media/Carrier Types - Video Games

I apologize if this has been covered. I searched the archives and didn't find it anywhere ... What Content/Media/Carrier Types are people using for Video games (xBox, wii, Playstation, etc.)? Content: Computer Program? Computer Program + two-dimensional moving image? I guess it surprises me

For Content Type, video games are listed under two-dimensional moving image. Content Type refers to the primary human perception involved. For the authorized access point of the work, video games are treated like motion pictures, and are grouped under collaborative moving image works (RDA

Respectfully, regarding The Content Types computer program and computer dataset are different in that the primary processing of the content is done by computers. These would not be used if the content was created primarily for direct human perception... doesn't really make sense to me. A

There are often other perceptions involved with individual content types, according to the RDA-ONIX Framework. The focus is on the intent for how the content is to be primarily perceived. There can be other incidentals with content type, including taking the content and using it in other ways

[RDA-L] initials in 378 $q

Hi,   I'm wondering if it's good practice to add initials for personal names in 378$q.   For example,   100  $aJohnson, John,$d1886-1962 378  $aJohn S. 670  $aApples and oranges, 2012:$bcover (John S. Johnson)   In this case the initial for the author was discovered long after the heading was

The two RDA examples for video games on this page are informative: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA%20training%20materials/SCT%20RDA%20Records%20TG/ While LDR/06=m is used, treating the video games as a computer file record type, that is not reflected exactly in the 336 Content Types. Both

Thanks. Thomas. I have not gone through your responses. But I notice that you mentioned 380 form of work. It is possible to give some instructions about the use of 380 field in bibliographic records? I mean in what situations we should use 380 fields. Many thanks for that in advance. Joan Wang

Thomas said: For LDR/06=m, the preference is to use it in case of doubt, but to prefer another code for Type of Record if the aspect brought out (language material, music, moving image) is most significant. RDA tilts towards two-dimensional moving image as the significant aspect for video games.

Thank you Thomas for letting me know that 380 may be used in bibliographic records. (One cataloguer reports seeing them in some records for Blu-rays.) We don't want to use it if redundant with data in other fields, particularly 33X. We depend on 008/33 letter codes (added to MARC21 from
