No according to the 2015 and 2016 updates to RDA we need to go to the IFLA 
Consolidated Edition of ISBD and under 4.3.4 it tells us that indeed we go 
space = space so we don't need to change the example.

Hmm.  Does the example in the middle of HCM2 p. 50 need to be changed?  Because 
that’s what I’ve been following.

Heidi, Jasmin,



In an email to me, dated June 02, 2014, Joan Biella, noted that “D.1.2.5 
doesn't say ‘space-equals sign-space.’ Apparently you're supposed to run the 
two dates up against one another.”



So  “אדר ב' תשע"ד=2014”    (with *no* space before and after the equal sign …)



All the best,



- r.

Hi Jasmin,



You have a choice in the situation. If you choose to code it for BIBCO you will 
have to follow the PCC Guidelines for Creating  Bibliographic Records in 
Multiple Character Sets. It appears that any update to the 2010 document has 
yet to appear so that is what PCC catalogers have to work with. In other words 
you will have to substitute "Arabic" numbers for the Hebrew letters of the date.



LC's policy is different as you point out.



RDA Hebraica Cataloging functino is presenting the options for Hebraica 
catalogers. Catalogers at LC must use Hebrew letters in the vernacular field; 
PCC catalogers have to substitute Arabic numbers; non-PCC and non-LC catalogers 
can choose to do what they want.



I know that we have discussed this issue in the past and I  honestly can't 
remember if our community was engaged by the task force working on preparing 
the next version of the above document to conform to RDA rules.



Sharon Benamou was a member of that committee. I will try and get in touch with 
her to find out the status of that group. I believe that Peter Fletcher is the 
head of that group.



I hope that this helps clarify the different options available to you.



If the issue has not been brought to the attention of the task force I will add 
it to our agenda for our June 19th meeting in Charleston.



Meanwhile your edition statement should be recorded as



Mahadurah rishonah

מהדורה ראשונה

since that is how it appears your resource (RDA 2.5.1.4).





Best, Heidi

Hi all,



I’m trying to understand how to best parse HCM2’s recommendation vis a vis the 
PCC practice for Alternative (1st) … : 2.5.2, p. 16. “If the date of 
publication is represented only in Hebrew letters, the numbers must be rendered 
in Western-style Arabic numerals.”  One example is then given for “715 [1954 or 
1955]” in both the vernacular and romanized 264 fields. (HCM2, p. 37)  Before 
that, though, the LC practice for Alternative (1st) states: … generally supply 
non-Latin scripts for the languages/scripts …: …Hebrew, Yiddish, … .  If 
following minimal level cataloguing guidelines, the records for these 
languages/scripts may be fully romanized.” (HCM2, p. 36-37)



I have in front of me the following in the source:



מהדורה ראשונה, אדר ב', תשע"ד, 2014



We take dates following ed. statements to be pub. dates, but in this case our 
date of publication is NOT “represented only in Hebrew letters”, so do we 
follow the PCC practice on 2.5.2 and render the date in Arabic numerals?  Also, 
as per the LC practice, we are to supply the non-Latin scripts. But we are 
following more than minimal level cataloguing, so should they be romanized?



My vernacular 250 is מהדורה 1.; is the vernacular 264_1



אדר 2., 774 = 2014

or

אדר ב' תשע"ד = 2014



(The romanized 264_1 is Adar 2., 774 [March 2014] = 2014, with fixed fields 
DtSt=e, Date 1=2014, Date 2=03.)



Please advise.  Thanks, Jasmin
