Dear Group,
The Libray of Congress has submitted a proposal for
simplification of rules to the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR3 (a
response to part 1 of draft of AACR3 [now RD])} :"The principle, stated in LCs response to the part I
draft of AACR3, of transcribing what is presented in the resource without
modification is also incorporated in this
revision."
In
light of our recent discussion on transcription of Hebrew dates at the R&S
Cataloging Commitee meeting I suggest that you look at
the recommendation for A.14E. If you have comments on this, please send
this to me by July 13. I will send a response to the Joint
Steering Committee.
Thanks, Heidi
A.14E
A1.4E. Date.
a) For published resources, transcribe the date
in which the resource was published as it appears on the resource, usually only
as year(s).
i) Date not in Western-style Arabic
numerals. Add the year(s) in
such numerals in square brackets as needed for
comprehensibility. ii) Date not of the Gregorian or Julian
calendar. Follow it with the
year(s) of the Gregorian or Julian calendar in square
brackets. iii) No publication date on the resource. Record a date in the following order of
preference: copyright date (indicated as such; use the latest if there is more
than one); date of manufacture (indicated as such); supplied date in square
brackets; approximate date in square brackets.
b) For unpublished resources or assembled collections,
record the date of production or assembly. Heidi G. Lerner Hebraica/Judaica Cataloger Catalog Dept. Stanford University Libraries Stanford, CA 94305-6004 ph: 650-725-9953 fax: 650-725-1120 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
