>instead, I was wondering where I might access some of SLC's RDA >records for microfilmed monographs/serials.
SLC will not begin producing RDA records until September 1st, because ebrary (through whom some of our e-publisher and e-aggregator clients distribute records and PDFs) will not accept RDA records until October. This is what the Procedures for one aggregator says: Add after 264 1 264 2 $aBeaconsfield, Quebec :$bfCanadian Electronic Library,$cyear- For microforms 264 2nd indicator 3 might be better, since they produce a physical product as opposed to distributing an electronic file. We do more electronic reproductions than microform ones, but you may see our records in our OPAC. This is the URL for an OPAC of SLC's database, intended for use by SLC clients for ILL, and by SLC cataloguers as a cataloguing aid. http://special-cataloguing.com/cgi-bin/opac/opac.pl?stype=x username: guest password: slc2007 The search screen is: <drop down window for area to be searched> Contains <blank for search term> Year <blank to limit search to a particular year if wished> Buttons above allow you to select a Boolean search or a MARC field search. Buttons allow you to select a browse search for list with search term in context, or search for the items with the search term. Most of the search areas in the drop down window, such as the default "Title" are self explanatory. The Call number search indexes the local call numbers of client libraries. The LCC class search indexes alphanumeric classifications (LCC, NLM, Moys, CanKF, and PS8000). The DDC class search indexes numeric classifications (DDC and UDC). The "Kwic" search indexes Canadian law symposia paper titles by key word. A button at the top of the default ISBD "card" display allows you to select the full MARC display. At the card display, you can see Canadian Law Symposia paper titles by clicking "Kwic". Clicking on "holdings' allows you to view the local call number and holdings of individual libraries. Clicking on the client code takes you to contact information for use in ILL. (Please report any updating needed.) __ __ J.
