Re: [RDA-L] alternative titles and variant access points

It is a long time since I was first learning to catalog and not sure if the rules in this area have changed. I do not often add 240's to records I create locally, and don't change many in records downloaded from other sources. That being said, my understanding of 240's to give a title that

Re: [RDA-L] Author affiliations

We have established a decision here to add titles, degrees, certifications, etc., as a means for patrons to judge the reliability of the authors. We are not, however going to add what I refer to as their 'current job titles/place of employment'. Kathie Kathleen Goldfarb Technical

Re: [RDA-L] Justification of Acces Points

Very interesting. I have been in favor of continuing to document why a person has an added entry, but I can see, if there is a relationship designator, that those notes could become unnecessary. In the past, sometimes those notes were needed due to the 'rule of three' which prohibited

Re: [RDA-L] Designator Relator Code

I will admit I am not sure what the rules are, but I would put the multiple $e designators in the 100 field, rather than having the same author with two entries, in the 100 and again in the 700. kathie Kathleen Goldfarb Technical Services Librarian College of the Mainland Texas City, TX 77539

Re: [RDA-L] Publication date/copyright date

Just a comment. In the old days, a book might have a copyright date, with a second date listed on the book. Was it a new publication or a reprint? The instruction at that time was that if it was made with the same 'plates' it was considered to be a reprint. Sometimes the books had the same

[RDA-L] Publication date/copyright date

The book I have in hand lists a copyright date of 2014. Should the 264 be: 264 1 ...$c [2013] 264 4 4a @2014 Or 264 1 $c [2014] No 264 4 I am leaning toward the second, since many libraries may receive this book in 2014, and the first option might be confusing, since they would not

Re: [RDA-L] Publication date/copyright date

I made a typo when I first sent this out, I did mean to have the 264 with publication date of [2013] (though I guess it should be [2013?], since it does not appear anywhere on the book itself, Since I have the book in hand, I would consider that to mean that is was published this year (or

Re: [RDA-L] Publication date/copyright date

I agree. I think if the publication and copyright dates are different, it is desirable to add both. kathie Kathleen Goldfarb Technical Services Librarian College of the Mainland Texas City, TX 77539 409 933 8202  Please consider whether it is necessary to print this email. -Original

Re: [RDA-L] Statement of responsibility naming more than three persons etc.

I would interpret first named person as part of the authorized access points for the work as referring to the existence of a 1xx OR 7xx for that person, but not necessarily as main entry. In fact, other than for classification purposes, I do not believe the Main entry really has that much

Re: [RDA-L] Relationship designators (with typo corrections; thanks)

I have been reading the discussions that there are too many relationship designators, differences between types of editors, etc. However, reading through this list - is there a relationship designator for the person who wrote the foreword? The book in hand is: Thorton Wilder, a life ...

Re: [RDA-L] Title page vs. cover title

Can't we use the 246 to provide access and information from those alternate title sources, front or back cover, half title page? Nothing is permanent in the life of a book, but the title page is probably the most reliable of them all. kathie Kathleen Goldfarb Technical Services
