[RDA-L] German and French texts of RDA

You'll probably have heard that the German and French translations of RDA were to appear with yesterday's (or rather, yesternight's?) update of the RDA toolkit. In case you wonder where they are: To see them, you'll have to go to your profile and change the language setting from "browser defaul

This is good news, and we hope to see RDA in more languages. For us in Arab libraries community, we eager to see RDA in Arabic, but ALA may have different opinion!! As I know, some Arabic organizations asked for Arabic translation of RDA, but ALA have no response. We hope to hear good news ab

Re: [RDA-L] German and French texts of RDA

Mark, Yes, that had occured to me as well (although it's a bit of a laugh if you have to use the Toolkit this way). Also, the links do not work in the PDF documents (or at least, I haven't found a way to make them work), so it will be really clumsy to use. Heidrun Mark wrote: Heidrun Wies

Re: [RDA-L] RDA 2.8 through 2.10, and Core status

I asked LChelp4rda this same question last year. LC's reply was that we must remember that implicit in the definition of 'Core' is the 1.3 wording: "elements that are applicable and readily ascertainable" Quoting from the LC reply: "So, for a published resource, date of publication is applicable

[RDA-L] RDA 6.27.1.9 Additions to access points representing works (LC PCC PS)

Hi everyone, RDA 6.27.1.9 states: Make additions to access points if needed to distinguish the access point for a work: from one that is the same or similar but represents a different work or from one that represents a person, family, corporate body, or place. The LC PCC-PS for 6.27.1.9 shows t

Re: [RDA-L] GMD Designator Searching with RDA

Can the question be clarified? DVD is not an aspect reflected in the GMD. Nor are search limits by record type or specific format usually driven by the GMD but instead by the coding in the fixed field or field 007. Both of these fields are still employable in MARC records conveying RDA data.

Re: [RDA-L] RDA 6.27.1.9 Additions to access points representing works (LC PCC PS)

It is, in fact, permissible to include the language of expression in the access point for an expression, even if it is the original language. Libraries may choose to use the authorized access point for the work to represent the first expression, as LC does in LCPS 6.27.3: 100
