RDA-L readers, Below are some examples to illustrate the relationships between AACR2, ISBD punctuation, RDA, and MARC. I would be grateful if you would look them over and let me know if anything seems not in proper accordance.
Comments, criticisms and corrections are eagerly awaited! Note: for illustrative purposes I've "doctored up" the data from the actual book that serves as the basis for these examples, to illustrate the different treatment in heading and transcription. The author does not to my knowledge have a doctorate :-) - Ian Ian Fairclough - George Mason University - ifairclough43...@yahoo.com AACR2 Bib Record with MARC Coding 1001 Margolis, Michael, ǂc Ph.
