Re: [RDA-L] Request to check RDA record for provider-neutral e-book
Hi Jay, I’m not sure if this is really what you’re looking for, but I’ll share my checklist for deriving an RDA record from AACR2 copy. It’s *not* intended to be exhaustive, just some things that I tend to forget when deriving from AACR2 copy. The checklist lives on our internal wiki, which is restricted to GSU library staff, but I’m pasting the current version below my signature. I don’t know if the links will work from this email, so if you would like a Word version just let me know. If anyone has improvements or corrections to my checklist, I’d appreciate them. Best, Susan Susan C. Wynne Cataloging Metadata Librarian Georgia State University 100 Decatur Street SE Atlanta, GA 30303 404-413-2729 Checklist For Deriving RDA Records From AACR2 This is not an exhaustive list of changes that may be required when deriving an RDA record from AACR2 copy. * Change Desc to i * Add 040 ‡e rda * Add 040 ‡b eng if not present * Add relationship designators to 1XX and/or 7XX, if you can readily locate an appropriate term in RDA Appendix I or J. * Replace Latin abbreviations if present * Edition statement should be transcribed as it appears on the source of information * Change 260 to 264 add correct 2nd indicator * MARC documentation for 264http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd264.html * Adjust date(s) as needed in 264 and/or fixed field * Add 264 2nd indicator 4 for copyright date if needed * Spell out the following words in 300: pages, color, illustrations, portraits... * Add 33X fields * Numbering of series or serials should be recorded in the form in which it appears on the source of information * In some cases, square brackets that were needed under AACR2 may need to be removed in an RDA record. Generally speaking, most core, manifestation-level elements only need to be bracketed if the information is taken from a source outside the resource itself. See RDA 2.2.4. Non-print formats It is recommended to repeat sound, projection, video or digital file characteristics from 300 ‡b/ 538/500 in the appropriate 34X field(s). See the MARC documentation for guidance: * 344 Sound Characteristicshttp://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd344.html * 345 Projection Characteristics of Moving Imagehttp://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd345.html * 346 Video Characteristicshttp://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd346.html * 347 Digital File Characteristicshttp://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd347.html From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Shorten, Jay Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 5:59 PM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: [RDA-L] Request to check RDA record for provider-neutral e-book I have created a record for the provider-neutral e-book OCLC #842051596. Would someone be so kind as to look it over just to make sure I haven’t forgotten something? Also, does anyone have a handy list of traps to avoid when creating an RDA record, something like, “Be sure you don’t forget to do this RDA practice because we didn’t do it in AACR2” “Be sure you don’t do this AACR2 practice because we don’t do it in AACR2”?

Re: [RDA-L] deriving records in OCLC Connexion
Mary, In OCLC Connexion Client, go to the Tools menu and select Options. On the RDA tab, there are checkboxes for Use RDA workforms... for bibliographic and authority records, respectively. But as Karen says, this only works for new workforms, not when deriving records. Susan Susan C.

Re: [RDA-L] Cross training
I have found Adam Schiff's presentations on the changes from AACR2 to RDA to be very helpful. Adam includes many examples in his slides. They are available on his home page: http://faculty.washington.edu/aschiff/ Also, recordings of ALCTS webinars are usually available at no cost 90 days after the original presentation. The free webinars in the ALCTS RDA series are available at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1AAFB573158DC4A1feature=plcp. Best, Susan Susan C.
