Barbara B. Tillett, Chief, Policy and Standards DivisionFor LC Digital Futures and You
Jan. 12, 2010
2
General overview
• Changes:– from AACR2 or from AACR2 practice– MARC 21 changes
• Represents LC practice for the RDA Test – some decisions still tentative/in process
• Specific details in training sessions for LC participants in the RDA Test
3
RDA Test (United States)
• For more information, go to the Web site maintained by the RDA Test Coordinating Committee:
http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/
4
Reminder: foundations of RDA
• Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR; 1998)
• Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD; 2009)
• IFLA Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (ICP; 2009)
5
RDA structure
• Not by class of materials: no separate chapters for books, printed music, etc.
• Basic goals: identify and relate (from
FRBR and FRAD user tasks)
• Chapters: separate elements for goals– Assemble those elements when need
access points (end of chapters)
6
Summary of organization
• Ch. 1-7: identify the resource• Ch. 8-11, 16: identify the person, family,
corporate body associated with the resource• Ch. 17-22: relationships between persons,
families, corporate bodies and resources• Ch. 24-28: relationships between resources• Ch. 29-32: relationships between persons,
families, and corporate bodies
7
AACR2 to RDA vocabulary
• heading • author, composer, etc.
• main entry
• uniform title
• see reference
authorized access pointcreator
preferred title + authorized access point for creator if appropriate
1) preferred title (+ other information to differentiate);
2) conventional collective title
Variant access point
8
FRBR terminology
• Group 1 entities:– Work, expression, manifestation, item
• Group 2 entities:– Person, family, corporate body
• Group 3 entities:– Groups 1 and 2– Concept, object, event, place [not yet in RDA]
9
RDA Test and “bridge” period
• Continue
– MARC 21 to encode bibliographic and authority data using
– ISBD punctuation and structure (appendix D) to present bibliographic data
– AACR2 punctuation style (appendix E) to present name access points
10
RDA core elements
• Core elements chosen based on FRBR-identified attributes mandatory for a national level bibliographic record to meet user tasks:– Find, identify, select, obtain
• “LC Core+” = the RDA core list + those other elements LC usually includes
• Beyond LC Core+: cataloger’s judgment
11
Choices in RDA
• Alternatives– Something different from previous instruction
• Optional omissions/additions– Less or more than in previous instruction
• “or” instructions– Related to the resource or cataloger’s judgment
• “Policy of agency”: language and script of the catalog, calendar, etc.
12
Cataloging documentation
• More emphasis on cataloger judgment
• Approximately 1/4 of existing LCRIs are being retained and revised/simplified for RDA (see separate sheet)
• Revised LCRI content, policy decisions for alternatives/options and other choices, and identification of LC Core+ will be added to RDA Online

Annotations and comments in a “Sticky note”
15
Annotations in RDA
• Will contain LC practice for the RDA Test:– Retained and rewritten LCRI content– Decisions on options, alternatives, agency
policy, etc., if cataloger judgment not to be applied
• Catalogers can add their own comments
16
RDA: Workflows
17
Other possible workflows
• Multipart monograph • Reproduction of a
monograph• Early printed book• Book with multiple
languages/scripts• Serial• Integrating loose-
leaf
• Integrating website• Direct access
electronic resource• Identifying a person• Identifying a
corporate body• Recording a
relationship to a related work
18
ICP “representation” principle• “Take what you see”
• “Accept what you get”– Example: Do not abbreviate words in
transcribed fields
MARC 260: ABC Publishing Company – do not change to “ABC Pub. Co.”
MARC 250: Third revised edition – do not change to “3rd rev. ed.”
19
Representation and errors
• Do not correct errors in transcribed fields– No more “[sic]” or “[i.e., _____]”– AACR2 exception retained for title proper of
serial or of integrating resource– Explain in note, give access point if important
245 $a Teusday’s tasks.246 $i Corrected title: $a Tuesday’s tasks260 $a Chicago : $b Smith Pubblishers, $c 2010.
20
GMD replacement
• Three elements:– Content type* (MARC 336)– Media type (MARC 337)– Carrier type* (MARC 338)
• Caution: don’t confuse Carrier type with Extent (300 $a)
* Core elements
21
336-338 encoding
• Repeat as needed to represent resource• Subfield $2 for vocabulary• Templates in Voyager for resources
• Leader/06: continue to give primary content type if more than one (336)
• 006: continue to give for some serials and some electronic resources
22
336-338 examplesBook:
300 $a 238 pages : $b …336 $a text $2 marccontent337 $a unmediated $2 marcmedia338 $a volume $2 marccarrier

Statements of responsibility
• Single statement naming more than one person, family, or corporate body– RDA instruction for RDA Test: transcribe as found (no
longer “rule of 3”)– RDA option generally not applied by LC for RDA Test:
transcribe first name and give bracketed summary about information not transcribed
• Related action: how many access points for those persons/families/bodies
25
Statement of responsibility example
245 $a … / $c by Susan Brown, Melanie Carlson, Stephen Lindell, Kevin Ott, and Janet Wilson.
Or, if option applied:
245 $a … / $c by Susan Brown [and four others]
26
Numbering for serials
• Transcribe terms and months as on the resource
• Alternative applied by LC for numerals: record numerals as found on the resource
• Possible to give numbering as an unformatted note (MARC 362 1#)
27
Serial numbering examples
Volume X, number 1 – do not change to “Vol. 10, no. 1”
January 2010 – do not change to “Jan. 2010”
28
Publication, etc., statements lacking information
