Hallo
In the near future I will need to draft some guidelines for colleagues who will be using RDA with ISBD and MARC21. Most of them are multi-skilled and do fairly small amounts of cataloguing, so the training has to be quick and simple. I will have to include guidelines for creating RDA headings in bibliographic records for entities for which there is no NACO record. (We do not create new NACO records for minor works or contributors.) I haven't been able to find any rules about which additions to Expression records should be in parentheses and which should follow a full stop. The examples (6.27.3) show most additions, including publisher, after a full stop but some (translator, text version, choreographer) in parentheses. (I was actually quite surprised to find that a new choreography was regarded as only an Expression-level distinction.) Appendix E does not specify punctuation for Other Distinguishing Characteristics of the Expression. I have glanced through the PCC NACO training slides, but didn't find anything about this. Please could someone tell me where I should look for a rule? Many thanks, Bernadette ******************* Bernadette O'Reilly Catalogue Support Librarian 01865 2-77134 Bodleian Libraries, Osney One Building Osney Mead Oxford OX2 0EW. *******************
