Re: [RDA-L] Relators for contributors and consultants

Thanks, Mac. The problem with 'writer of added text' is that it is defined as 'contributing to an expression of a primarily non-textual work by providing text for the non-textual work' - but this compilation is all textual and all the input is of equal standing. (We aren't considering using the

[RDA-L] thanks RE: [RDA-L] 502 coding in RDA

Many thanks to Elizabeth O'Keefe of The Morgan Library Museum. She sent us the necessary coding that enabled my systems librarian to tweak our Ex Libris Voyager display created exactly what we want in terms of a display. This coding will surely come in handy as we continue to work with RDA

Re: [RDA-L] Cross-training from AACR2 ro RDA

Responding to Paul Davey's comment and question concerning the use of field 264 in OCLC: Field 264 was implemented in OCLC as part of the OCLC-MARC Update 2012 in May 2012. It is documented in OCLC Technical Bulletin 261 (http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/261/default.htm)

According to PCC guideline, all new RDA records use 264 field. The field is in Library of Congress bib format. www.loc.gov/aba/*pcc*/documents/*264*-*Guidelines*.doc http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd264.html By the way, Library of Congress training materials are comprehensive. They help a

[RDA-L] Media type for streaming video

I had always assumed that the 33x fields for streaming video should look like this due to the online nature of the resource: 336 __ $a two-dimensional moving image $2 rdacontent 337 __ $a computer $2 rdamedia 338 __ $a online resource $2 rdacarrier However, I was recently reviewing something

Re: [RDA-L] Relators for contributors and consultants

'contributor' would make sense. We definitely need a way to distinguish authors of introductions and prefaces from authors of the main text. On 2/25/2013 3:20 AM, Bernadette Mary O'Reilly wrote: Thanks, Mac. The problem with 'writer of added text' is that it is defined as 'contributing to an

Re: [RDA-L] Relators for contributors and consultants

I think RDA relationships should be structured like a controlled vocabulary, with links to and from broader and narrower terms. Contributor and creator would be the top-level terms. If a narrower term has not been established (author of preface, for example) the cataloger would use the higher

Re: [RDA-L] Cross-training from AACR2 ro RDA

Paul Davey asked: ps 264 - I understand that OCLC allows it, but it's not in their bib = format. Would it be right that I use 260 by default? PCC says to use 264 rather than 260 in any new RDA record. I hope OCLC will change the RDA test record which have 260. __ __ J. McRee (Mac)

Dear collective wisdom, My apologies, because I believe this has been asked and answered before, but I cannot find the relevant emails. At this point is it considered necessary in fields 336-338 to use both subfield $a with the term spelled out and also subfield $b with the code, or is

Re: [RDA-L] Media type for streaming video

I was cataloging one of these the other day and faced the same conundrum. I turned to the OLAC best practices document (http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/?q=node/47) which is several years old and needs to be updated for RDA and the new fields, but is still useful. Following the definitions of

Re: [RDA-L] Use of subfield $b in 336, 337, 338

If you are using OCLC Connexion, there is a macro to supply these fields and it supplies both the term and code in $a and $b. So that is one reason you are seeing both in many records. LC's policy for its catalogers (see DCM B.13.13.2) is to record the term in $a, but if $b is present in

Re: [RDA-L] Media type for streaming video

OLAC is in the process of updating its streaming media best practices to be RDA-compatible so it's coming soon. I do think there is something fundamentally wrong with the computer media type and have thought so since the days when we were commenting on the RDA drafts. There is nothing

Re: [RDA-L] Relators for contributors and consultants

Bernadette, My understanding is that the relator term author is meant to be related to a creator of a work. In the model you are describing the contributing authors aren't the creator of the described work which is the dictionary of biography. I think general practice is not to delve into the

Sean Chen said: I believe the computer media type is now irrelevant and I think that = referring to things as needing a computer is not going to be in = alignment with how users are doing FISO. I of course agree. I have no argument that electronic is better as a media type than digital.
