I would like to point out to all the agenda of the Joint Steering Committee
for Development of RDA (JSC) available below at the link.
This mind boggling meeting will last from Monday morning, November 5th
through Friday afternoon November 9th. This is 5 working days (morning till
evening) or
For what it's worth this is why I'm not in favor the recommended practice of
modifying the appearance of NAF controlled vocabulary items for 370 in case
they get used as a qualifier. It blurs the distinction between a string and
a thing.

I am rather confused about the purpose of the new 3xx fields in authority
records. So I share Ben's unease. It seems that the needs of linked data,
where you could ideally be using a URI to stand for a place name in a 370,
doesn't mesh well with the need to recreate our (basically AACR2)
Well, I would point out that this isn't a recommended practice, it is the
RDA instruction in numerous chapters for recording various elements such
as place of birth, place of death, location of headquarters, location of
conference, etc. Any change to how we record the data in the MARC fields
Adam,
University of Chicago catalogers asked LCHelp4RDA this very question long time
ago. The response from LCHelp was to record names like Russia, Federation with
a comma (no parentheses), based on the best practice (at the time) that
geographic forms in 370 field should be in the authorized
This is where it gets even more confusing... Heading for Russia refers to a
country that existed until 1917. Heading Russia (Federation) represents the
country starting from 1991 only. So heading Russia cannot be used in 370
instead of Russia (Federation) as this heading is for a different

You're right about that (16.2.2.4), and I was wrong. But I wish there were a
Lubetzky around to ask a certain question about that rule.

Greetings,
As a new user of the RDA Toolkit, I have a stupid question. How do I
encode in a MARC record that a book has, as AACR2 calls them, coloured
illustrations, i.e., col. ill.?
Instruction 7.15.1.3 tells me to record illustrations. Instruction
7.17.1.3 tells me to record colour. And the
Matthew,
You're right, RDA doesn't specify, because it considers these two separate
elements and I imagine RDA would be fine with either of your formulations. The
current practice is:
$b color illustrations
(or $b color illustration if there's just one).
By the way, not colored
The LC-PCC PS for 11.3.1.3 applies only to the element Place Associated with
the Corporate Body, though. If the practice of omitting the type of
jurisdiction is to be followed for all the elements that are recorded in field
370, I would suggest adopting a similar policy statement for 9.8 (Place
Color vs. colored sounds like the kind of distinction that we as catalogers
love to make, but I think would be lost on our users. I don't know by whom
colored would be taken to mean colored after publication; it could just as well
mean colored before publication. Of course, col. ill. elided
