The record doesn't appear to be following the current LC PCC Policy Statements. The 347 field I believe applies to the online resource, not the printed version. Since RDA emphasizes showing relationships to the extent possible, you might find a useful model in the LCPS 27.1.1.3 Referencing Related Manifestations. The relationship is brought out in either MARC 775 (reproduction is the same carrier as the original, e.g. a facsimile of a book originally published in the 19th century) or 776 (where the reproduction is a different carrier from the original, which appears to be the case in your example.) The LCPS gives an example of each with the appropriate subfields. Someone who catalogs directly on OCLC would know whether there was a macro to generate the 775 or 776. In your case, I believe the link would be to the online resource record. Note that RDA descriptive rules apply to the reproduction record. The original record link is left as found on its bibliographic record.

I don't understand this RDA record. I was hoping someone could direct me to RDA documentation about cataloging reprints? We are not creating original RDA records as yet. We are incorporating RDA (mainly LC records) as we come across them, but I haven't run into this particular flavor of RDA record. I do not understand how the 336/337/338/347 work to describe a printout and if incorrect, exactly how to edit to describe a printout correctly under RDA. We catalog a LOT of printouts so this is an important concept for me. I need to understand so as to be able to explain to my section. I've done some looking in the archives, but am not finding anything that answers my question in a real-world manner. Many thanks for any direction. //SIGNED// Patricia Fogler Chief, Cataloging Section (AUL/LTSC) Muir S. Fairchild Research Information Center DSN 493-2135 Comm (334) 953-2135
