Hello, I have a problem in finding a controlled list of material specified in |3 subfield in 336 337 and 338 for accompanying materials. I have prepared some combinations and I need your help mainly for the terms I suggested for the material specified in |3 for 336, 337 and 338. Thank you Basma ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basma Chebani Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services Department University Libraries / Jafet American University of Beirut Beirut - Lebanon Tel: 961-1-350000 ext.2614 basma.cheb...@aub.edu.lb<mailto:basma.cheb...@aub.edu.lb> basmacheb...@yahoo.com<mailto:basmacheb...@yahoo.com>

Sometimes Content Type would be referenced ([text], [cartographic material]), and other times Carrier Type ([filmstrip], [slide]), and other times a non-general unit of extent ([model], [toy]). >The MRIs suggest that for multi-carriers, the media terms be preceded >by to what part of the resource it applies, e.g., CD: performed music, >MARC21 33X $3 does that well, and works whether one line or two. In some cases that can be useful, but in others not so much. Online resources will have one Carrier Type term and potentially several Content Type terms. In addition, for Carrier Type and all other characteristics, RDA 3.1.4.2 actually proposes something like a 007 fixed field, where all associated values for each carrier are stacked together. Because of the sloppiness of AACR2 and MARC, this is actually difficult to do with current encoding. One is stuck with multiple 300 fields, or 300$e, plus new 34X fields, or crushed together in 300$b which may be crowded with expression data independent of the carrier ("color", "sound"). Subfield $3 can play a role, sprinkled about with these fields. No, MARC does not do some things well, and AACR2 is much to blame. >>In RDA, the element name is an important part of the meaning of the >>overall data. >Unless the element name is nonsense to public service staff or patrons. >Remember the Dublin Core cataloguer who entered the person who gave the >item to the library in "Contributor"? Language is ambiguous. (Love >those non ambiguous MARC field tags.) MARC field tags are overburdened because AACR2 lumps too many concepts together as the threshold AACR2 had to meet went no further than the minimum required for catalog card creation. In RDA, one isn't just filling in fields willy-nilly. That's the blinkered thinking AACR2 has forced upon us by cramming too many unrelated concepts into a constrained space. "Contributor" isn't just dangling there, ambiguously. For "Contributor" one is explicitly declaring a relationship between an Expression and a Person, which is how the data entry forms should be presented. One is making a relationship, not supplying a name as an attribute as if filling in a tax form. The future encoding would need to have this: <expression><contributor><fill in name of contributor> In fact, I have used RDA relationship designators for item-level relationships. A genealogical society has deposited items with us, and I added the RDA designator "depositor" after an access point for them. <item><depositor><corporate body> is the ideal form. Instead, we're stuck the awful MARC choices of: 710 2_ $aCorporate Body,$edepositor I did take advantage of the $3 option to add information that the 710 refers to specific items attached to the record. >IMNSHO the unlabeled ISBD display has not been improved upon. Many >labels are sometimes wrong (e.g., non authors in 100), Except that doesn't happen in RDA. "Author" is only assigned to authors. "Creator" is only assigned to creators. Print constants abound in MARC as well, but many unadorned notes are disconnected from their antecedents. It's absurdly circular reasoning to criticize labels when the starting point is AACR2, which created the mess in the first place. Years ago, and even recently, I encountered library users at the reference desk who handed me something like this, thinking it must be some code for a call number or location, as it looked otherwise otherworldly: ii, 137 p. : ill. ; 23 cm Many times the truncated, unlabelled clumps of data in traditional records have produced the wrong results, and created havoc for system designers who know much more could be done with cataloging data if it wasn't for the conventions which have crippled catalog records for too long.
