All,
I am extremely pleased to announce that the final report of the
Relationship Designator Task Group is now available on the PCC website:
Relationship Designator TG Report
http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/RDA%20Task%20groups%20and%20charges/PCC-Relat-Desig-TG-report.rtf
The group was chaired by Naun Chew and was asked to provide a policy
statement and guidelines for providing relationship designators in PCC
RDA bibliographic records. In particular, they were asked to:
1. Prepare a policy recommendation and supporting PCC guidelines to
describe when and how to provide relationship designators in
bibliographic records, and for any related changes in authority records.
2. Provide recommendations and guidance on what PCC catalogers should do
when a needed term is not listed in the applicable RDA appendix.
3. Frame the guidelines within a definition and description of the
problem so that both the concept and the implementation details will be
understood by the PCC and broader professional community
4. Recommend an implementation strategy and timetable for these guidelines.
The report has made a number of excellent recommendations. Please read
the document carefully, we are very much interested in your comments.
The comment period will be open until the end of this month (Dec. 31st)
and comments can be directed to
SurveyMonkey:https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TZ6DZX5. All the best.
