Are any libraries converting their existing data to RDA format and how are

Hello,
We have limited conversion to records with a publishing date of
RDA-L readers,
Sometimes CIP for a previous edition is printed. In such cases you can take
pertinent data, such as the LCCN (which is invalid, and should be coded so
using subfield z, but is nevertheless usable as a search key) and include it in
the record for the book in hand.
Once I had a

We are a small to medium academic library. (4.5 FTE in cataloguing
with monthly receipts of around 1,000 items.)
We will have a hybrid catalog, accepting RDA input and copy-cataloguing it
according to RDA rules or AACR2 input and cataloguing it according to AACR2
rules, but
Honestly, I never have thought about that CIP is a reliable source. But
maybe I am wrong. Since Ian mentioned translation, I have a Chinese

I hate to keep bugging you, Gary, but what kind of automated tools and

possibility of doing it here, or if I should just stick to my present policy of
accepting RDA and AACR2 records for copy cataloging, and doing the
Isn't CIP data transfer supposed to be part of the automation in this

Dear Michael,
I believe this is the LC-PCC PS you are looking for (2.2.2.1):
LC practice/PCC practice: Do not consider pre-publication cataloging data
(foreign or domestic) appearing in the item as a source of information for
transcribed elements.
(note the emphasis on *transcribed*
For the retrospective stuff, I haven't yet written the program, just thought
about it. When it's written, such a program will consist of various bits
(generation of 33X fields, spelling-out of abbreviations) that have been
thoroughly tested through use over something like a year. I have

Hello. I've rooted around RDA several times trying to find an answer to
this question and I can't find one anywhere. Is there any direction
anywhere in RDA or in the policy statements that tell you what to do when
you are noting that bibliographical references are present and are noting

I don't use square brackets unless the numbers are only implied.
If they are stated I put them in parentheses.
However, if they are truly footnotes, I do not add page numbers.

In my earlier post I deliberately began with please assume for the sake of

My understanding is 504 fields are a recorded element. The data does not
have to exactly represent the resource itself.

You'd omit the brackets, according to LC-PSS 1.7.1, which says Do not use
square brackets in notes except when they are used in quoted data, and gives
this example:

Try looking at LC-PCC PS 1.7.1, the section called Punctuation in Notes: 3.
Square brackets. Do not use square brackets in notes except when they are used
in quoted data.
The examples demonstrate use of unbracketed numbers that do not appear in the
resource.
Hope this helps,

Hello All:
I don't know if this was discussed on this list before, but I would like to
know if a title is just a revised printing and has a revised printing date
on it and everything else is the same as the original version, should it

Thanks everyone. I did see rule 1.7.1 at some point in my RDA travels,

I would have to check the piece itself to be sure, but I would suppose that
revised printing date meant that there had been revisions, even if these do
not appear to be obvious. In that case, I would create a new record. If I am
