Trina, This is one of the most logical, clear, direct explanation of a concept in RDA that I have ever heard or read. I know this is a simple thing for most people, but for some of us struggling to understand and implement these new rules, either because we don't actually get to use it every da

I've been told that, for now, information in the 34X fields can and should continue to be duplicated in the 007 and the 538 (NTSC or PAL, etc.), until such time as ILSs catch up. So in the limited RDA A/V cataloging I have done, everything that I'm putting in 34X is also somewhere else in the M

I appreciate all of the discussion going on about the question I posed. I think it is precisely these kind of "non-standard" (if there even is such a thing) situations and issues are what help us get at the core of the rules and what they are trying to say. If they don't explain things clearly
