Colleagues,

The MLA-BCC RDA Music Implementation Task Force is happy to announce 
the release of the first complete draft of Best Practices for Music 
Cataloging using RDA and MARC21. This document represents over 
sixteen months of effort by the task force to determine and articulate 
best practices for the description of music resources (chiefly scores 
and audio recordings). In the increasingly decentralized environment 
of library metadata standards, this document addresses the need for 
specific guidance for catalogers describing music resources that is 
authoritative, yet flexible to the needs of individual institutions. 
It is intended to supplement the text of RDA itself, and accounts for 
(though does not presume full adherence to) the Library of 
Congress-Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Statements (LC-PCC PS).


The task force invites broad input regarding these best practices, 
from both specialists within the music community and non-specialists 
who work with music materials (or manage those who do). Formal means 
for collecting community feedback and incorporating it into revisions 
of the best practices document on an ongoing basis are still being 
developed. For the current draft, please send feedback directly to the 
task force chair (yours truly) at cmul...@stanford.edu.


Additionally, these best practices decisions will be the topic of a 
panel discussion at the MLA Annual Meeting in San Jose, CA on February 
28, 2013, entitled RDA Best Practices for Music: A Conversation. 
Specific topics to be discussed will be based directly on feedback 
gathered from e-mail responses in advance of the meeting, and from 
those attending the session (in town hall fashion). Whether or not 
you are able to attend the MLA session, we want to hear from you!!

Those who need structured and granular data and the precise retrieval that results 
from it to carry out research and scholarship may constitute an elite minority rather 
than most of the people of the world (sadly), but that talented and intelligent minority 
is an important one for the cultural and technological advancement of humanity. It is 
even possible that if we did a better job of providing access to such data, we might 
enable the enlargement of that minority.

 Casey, thanks to you and your committee for this monumental work. I have one
 question (for now ;)):
 on p. 72, could you specify what $e term(s) is/are appropriate for the
 first case (when performers/performing ensembles are recorded in a 100/110
 field (and in 245 $c) because they are treated as adapters.

 Also, one correction: on p. 23, I think 261 is supposed to be 264?

 Thanks.

Re: [RDA-L] Best Practices for Music Cataloging using RDA and MARC21

2013-02-13 Thread Shapiro, Regina
There appears to be a contradiction between the following two instructions:

 2.3.1.7. Title Proper--Titles of Parts, Sections, and Supplements
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
EXAMPLES:
245 00 Musical theatre for classical singers. $p Soprano (p. 8)

AND
2.5.2. Designation of Edition
The most common designations of edition in music resources fall into category 
g), a statement indicating ... a particular voice range or format for notated 
music.
Treat a statement indicating a particular voice range that is not grammatically 
linked to the title, other title information, etc. as a designation of edition, 
whether or not it includes the word edition or its equivalent.
EXAMPLES:
250 Tenor.   (p.14)

Best Practices for Music Cataloging using RDA and MARC21.
 
http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2013/RDA_Best_Practices_for_Music_Cataloging.pdf

Interesting, and a lot of work.

I was surprised to see no examples of $4 relator codes or $e relator
terms.

I was surprised to see examples of 260, when PCC has said that no new
RDA records are to have 260.  I was also suprised to see the copyright
symbols used in 260 examples, as opposed to c and p.

I was surprised to see no examples of 336 RDA media content, but
rather examples of 344 and 347.  The fact that samples were not in
field tag order, I found confusing.

Re: [RDA-L] Best Practices for Music Cataloging using RDA and MARC21

2013-02-13 Thread McRae, Rick
Regina-- in this instance the examples for 2.3.1.7 and 2.5.2 are correct. In 
the 1st, the Musical theatre for classical singers has unique contents for 
each of the voices; the volume for alto (as well as the ones for mezzo, tenor 
and bass/baritone) contains a completely different repertoire than that for the 
soprano.
Thus, it is different from, as in the 2nd example, an edition for Tenor of the 
same music, set for a different voice range in a different edition.

I hope this helps clarify what seems to be a contradiction, but isn't.
