MAJOR RDA CHANGES FROM AACR2 BY MARC FIELD 2 June 2009
These changes will not be adopted unless and until they begin appearing
in derived national cataloguing agency records.
100
RDA change: Compilers of works by more than one author are again
main entry, as they were prior to AACR2.
RDA change: Entry under first author, regardless of number.
110
RDA change: Treaties are entered under the first country mentioned,
regardless of number or alphabetical order, or in the case of a
treaty between one country and a group of countries, enter under the
one country.
130
RDA change: From older records remove "$pO.T." and "$pN.T." from
between "Bible" and $p name of the individual books. For the Old
and New Testaments, spell out O.T. and N.T.
2XX
RDA change: Use square brackets only for information not found in
the item, regardless of source within the item. Leave brackets
in older records.
245
RDA change: Record all authors given in prime source in 245 /$c.
In older records, the title is the main entry in this case, i.e., no
100.)
RDA change: use first author mentioned as 100.
RDA change: "[sic]" or bracketed additional letters no longer used
after typos. Create 246 with corrected spellings.
RDA change: For compilations, use the RDA option of supplying a title
in brackets, rather than using the title of the first work as title
proper. (This allows us to continue creating only one bibliographic
record per physical item, a requirement for many of our clients.)
RDA has flip flopped on removing alernate title from title proper,
currentlt leaving it in as does AACR2. SLC will follow client
preference in not considering alternate title to be part of title
proper:
245 10 $a<Title>$h[gmd],$bor, <Alternate title>.
246 30 $a<Alternate title>.
245$h[gmd]
RDA change: When/if ILS have made the change, enter media terms in
336-338 (qv), omitting 245$h. While 245$h is used, continue to use
AACR2 terms.
245$c
RDA change: Transcribe all authors, regardless of number. But, in
the case of a compilation, transcribe statements of responsibility
after titles in 505.
Abandonment of the Rules Of Three removes the need for "[et al.]" or
"[and others]".
250
RDA change: Transcribe rather than abbreviate, e.g., 250 $aSecond
edition.
260
SLC will not adopt RDA transcription in full, nor omitting jurisdiction
if absent. SLC will transcribe or supply jurisdiction using AACR2
abbreviations. Supply missing information in a note does not work
in brief displays.
SLC will continue to use ISBD Latin abbreviations rather than English
phrases, because of our international customer base.
300
SLC will Continue to use AACR2 abbreviations, due to different
spellings in different languages.
