are referred back to 2.2.2 for choosing the sources of information.

Go back toquestion




You got it Right RDA 2.3.1.4 tells you to transcribe the title as found on the resource.

Under the general rules for transcription (1.7) you are referred to instructions for capitalisation in Appendix A. A.4 contains the guidelines for titles of manifestations

which tells you to capitalise the first letter of the first word.

The alternative instruction at 1.7.1 allows institutions to follow in house guidelines on capitalisation therefore the title for this website could be recorded in capitals.

Next question


Is “other title information” core?

Yes

No


You got it Right Other title information is not core in RDA, however LC practice is to make it core

(see the LC-PCC PS). It is likely that many libraries will follow LC practice.

general guidelines on transcription given under 1.7”

At 1.7 we are instructed to transcribe the element as it appears on the resource. At 1.7.3 we can add punctuation if necessary for clarity.

Go back to question



Check the Toolkit and go back to question to try again

What is the authorised access point for the work?

Public toilet map


National public toilet map

You got it Right The preferred title for the work, in this case, is the same as the title of the

manifestation. RDA acknowledges this situation at 6.2.2.4 with the example:

Little acorn - Preferred title for work by Christa Kauble that has only one expression and only one manifestation. The manifestation was published

under the title: The little acorn

In practice, a MARC 130 or 240 field is not added when it is the same as the title proper of the manifestation. The MARC 245 field effectively acts as the

authorised access point

The author of the website is the Australian government. Where in RDA are the instructions for constructing the access point for this author

Chapter 9

Chapter 10

Chapter 11


You got it Right Chapter 11 contains the guidelines for recording attributes of corporate

bodies. RDA 11.13 is where you go to find instructions on constructing the access points representing corporate bodies.

Making decisions about choosing who is the creator of a resource is about the relationship between the person, family or corporate body and the resource.

Guidelines on making this decision are in chapter 18 – and we will look at this in detail today.
