October 9, 2013

Today’s Goals

•Focus on selected elements as they apply to serials

•Focus on practical cataloging with RDA in MARC in the current environment

What is a serial?• What is a serial?

• Successive parts• Numbering (usually)• No predetermined conclusion• Includes resources that exhibit characteristics of

serials but are of limited duration (newsletters of events) and reproductions of serials.

Editing publication information on copy

• On an RDA serial record, you may change a 260 to a 264 presuming you have enough information to select an indicator value.

• On a pre-RDA record, prefer not to change an existing 260 to a 264. • If adding additional publishers on a

pre-RDA record, cataloger’s judgment whether to add an additional 260 or a 264.Exercise 1

Corporate body as creator:Do I need a 110 for this?

RDA 19.2.1.1.1

Does this serial have a creator?

No corporate creator. Does my title need a qualifier? (130)

• Check for conflict with *all* works• No more (Online) qualifier

So...

Print version of:

Journal of green energy, issued by the Georgia Energy

Commission

Electronic version of:

Journal of green energy, issued by the Georgia Energy

Commission

Different manifestations of the same work. No need to distinguish.

130 (cont’d)

BUT

Journal of green energy, issued by the British Green Organization

Journal of green energy, issued by the American Society for Green Energy

2 different works with the same title.

Needs qualifier/130

RDA 6.27.1.9 and PS

Which qualifier(s) should I use?• Form of work:

130 0# $a Scottish Historical Society (Series)• Date of the work

130 0# $a Bulletin (New York State Museum : 1976)• Place of origin of the work

130 0# $a Advocate (Boise, Idaho)• Other distinguishing characteristic of the work

130 0# $a Bulletin (International Organization of Lace)

130 0# $a Brotherhood (Boston edition)

RDA 6.27.1.9 and PS

130 (cont’d)

Let’s practiceDo the following need 130 with qualifier?

Scenario 1: You are cataloging the online manifestation of a journal with the title:

Journal of natural beekeeping.

The only other record in the catalog is for the print manifestation of this journal.

Scenario 2: You are cataloging a journal with the title:

Law and society.

The only other record in the catalog is a monograph, produced under editorial direction:

245 00 $a Law and society : $b critical concepts in law / $c edited by David Cowan, Linda Mulcahy, Sally Wheeler.
