Re: [RDA-L] Names found in a non-preferred script (8.4 vs. 9.2.2.5.3 and 11.2.2.12)

2013-09-30 Thread John Hostage
In addition to what Steve McDonald said, RDA 9.2.2.5.3 says "Variant names. Record the other forms of the transliterated name as variant names (see 9.2.3.9)." That's the option to record them in the original script. 11.2.2.12 has a similar instruction.

The Yolo County Library (Woodland, CA) is adding GMD back in. Librarians (and patrons, I'm told) like knowing what's non-book straightaway, and no one thinks adding 336-338 to display to the public is a good idea. Looks like the vast majority of us are adding 245 $h after adding records to Connexi

2013-09-30 Thread John Hostage
By way of background, the "double punctuation" was made a part of the ISBD a few years ago in order to accommodate systems that automatically supply prescribed punctuation between areas of description. It was felt that it easier to do this than expect an algorithm to examine the field and decid

Adam, that has always been my understanding. If I recall correctly, in the very early introductions to RDA done by Judy Kuhagen, the double punctuation was pointed out; I believe the PS was updated later to avoid the absurdity. Steven Arakawa Catalog Librarian for Training & Documentation Catalo

We are also retaining existing 245 $h for now, but not adding any more. The information in these subfields can play an important part in the automated generation of 33X fields, which we plan to do some time before our migration to Alma. After we use 245 $h to help generate the 33X fields, we'll

We have not removed GMD from AACR-2 records that were in our system already or that we are bringing in from OCLC, and we are also not adding them to RDA records. Adding a GMD to and RDA record creates extra work that we don't have the time for. We are switching to Sierra in November and because
