Re: [RDA-L] 347 for digital files

I realize that the question is about PDFs. My unit doesn't handle those, but for audio materials we stick to 347 $a and $b. Sometimes a disc will have two applicable $b values (such as a hybrid CD/SACD), in which case we will repeat $b. This is in accordance with the freely available document "B

Re: [RDA-L] Question about preferred title for a compilation

Recording each separate work's title is something we do all the time in music cataloging. In MARC, you use the field 700 12 . $t . For each work, you do a new 700 field. When you name all the works this way, RDA (for instance, in 6.2.2.10.3, Alternative) allows you either to stop at that or also

Re: [RDA-L] Use of brackets in RDA records

Re: [RDA-L] Source of new terms for 300 subfield a

The instructions for recording extent are in 3.4.1.3 in the RDA Toolkit. There you are told to use "an appropriate term for the type of carrier as listed under 3.3.1.3." The latter is where you find a list of acceptable terms, such as audio disc. RDA 3.4.1.5 also gives you permission to use a te

Re: [RDA-L] Using 344-347?

At the moment, the University of North Texas Music Library is indeed using the 34x fields as relevant, but since they don't yet display in our public catalog, we are also putting the relevant information in 300 $b, which does display. Once the display issues are straightened out, we will stop us

A private communication from a member of the group that has worked out the document "Best Practices for Music Cataloging" (http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2013/RDA_Best_Practices_for_Music_Cataloging.pdf) said that the next version of this document will include a section on th

Re: [RDA-L] question about dates in 264 fields

I was just looking at that. I believe that the problem is that the Toolkit hasn't yet been updated to reflect the existence of 264. The MARC21 Bibliographic Format on Cataloger's Desktop was just updated very recently to include it. Until a few days ago, the only place to find it was on the LC

Re: [RDA-L] Cataloging Matters No. 16

This "more effort" issue worried me, too, until I oversaw a project, using people who were learning to catalog right then. They were supposed to be cataloging in AACR2. To my tremendous surprise, the great majority of their errors were in fact RDA-compliant. The project and this observation were

For at least some of this, the Element Set View (which I hadn't explored until yesterday) is a great help. It assembles all the rules relevant to a particular RDA Element together in one place. Sometimes the rules so assembled are contiguous in RDA itself, but sometimes there are reference (and

Re: [RDA-L] FRBR

My experience leads me to the opposite conclusion. For people who don't already know how to catalog, much of RDA *is* simpler, more transparent, and so forth than AACR2. It's only those of us who have been using AACR2 for years that have so much trouble grasping the new rules. In my job I teach

Re: [RDA-L] Web catalog

What needs doing with your web catalog depends entirely on your vendor. It is very likely to take a telephone call or an online contact to the company to say you want the RDA tags made workable in your system. The vendor probably will know what fields these are but might need a list of fields yo
