Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

Julie, The RDA cutover date applies only to authority records. PCC libraries may continue to describe resources after March 31 using AACR2, but any new name authorities created for the LC/NACO Authority File must be formulated according to RDA instructions.

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

Julie, We have been doing Mac's option 1 (don't display 33x fields, do generate an icon, based on fixed field values), and it seems quite satisfactory. We're an Innovative library. The icons appear on browse summary screens to the side of the record, and, on full-display in the top right

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

We will do the same, and, we will add gmd back in manually to the 245|h. I am not sure that part will continue, but staff will be very unhappy if we discontinue them. GMD in 245|h is used very heavily by circ staff when assisting patrons. We are also a III library, so icons work for the

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

Has anyone using Voyager decided to do this? That is, add back 245/ $h gmd in the local system? I agree that the 336, 337, 338 don’t need to be viewable which ours are not. Thanks. Carolyn Kadri Special Collections Cataloger University of Texas at Arlington Arlington, TX 76019 817-272-7153

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

[I'm posting the same thing here that I posted on AUTOCAT in response to this question.] I'll be frank...when I was at the University of Pennsylvania we redesigned the OPAC. We removed the GMD entirely from the results lists. The only place you could view it was in the full record view. AND NO

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

While this is correct, it is notable that the Library of Congress is switching all bibliographic work over to RDA on the same date. Per Beacher Wiggins at the RDA Update Forum at ALA Midwinter this past weekend: everything coming out of LoC will follow RDA (they will ensure access points in copy

Re: [RDA-L] RDA dtst t + a 260/264 muse on training question

I'm curious if people who oppose the use of t (pub date/copyright date) instead of s (pub date only) in the fixed fields are having problems getting their systems to parse the data correctly or if it just looks funny (redundant) to them because, like all of us, their frame of reference is

Re: [RDA-L] RDA dtst t + a 260/264 muse on training question

Just a correction about the copyright date in RDA (2.11) - it is a core element only if neither the date of publication nor the date of distribution is identified. A note on copyright date is covered in 2.20.10. At 2.11.1.1, the scope of a copyright date in RDA is a date associated with a claim

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

I would not suggest using GMD. The addition of GMD is an extra work for catalogers. It is also a problem for staff training, struggling between two cataloging rules. OCLC policy states that they keep GMD for three years. It seems to be a transition time. GMD apparently is not under maintenance

Re: [RDA-L] Carrier type Flipchart

Many thanks to Benjamin, John and Daniel for the explanation. I've never come across something like this in Germany, and will have to find out whether there is a special German term for it (as the word Flipchart in German is really only used for the easel and whiteboard). It still bothers me

Thank you for the clarification, Ana. I've added the information you shared to my notes. I'm guessing Beacher was referring to the monograph and serials cataloging within the PSD in his remarks, and I missed that detail. Thanks, -Shana * Shana L. McDanold Head, Metadata Services Georgetown

Re: [RDA-L] GMD revisited

In two of the three libraries where I volunteer, I have been instructed to add the GMD back in. Apparently, at least from what I have been told, both patrons and librarians like to know that something is, e.g., a movie or a sound recording from looking at the record in the online catalog. So far,

[RDA-L] GMDs

I shall ask Mac Elrod about this. He knows everything about everything. It's Mark and Bernhard who come closer to knowing everything about everything. How they keep up on the most recent developments is astounding. Mac: Is this true? I'm not quite sure what this is. Continuation of GMDs?
