NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 i.e. How to Recognize an RDA Bib Record NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 How to Recognize an RDA Authority Record NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Changes to Corporate Hdgs. NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Conferences NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 RDA and Serials It really isn’t so bad. Seriously. Field Changes • 130: Distinguishing Uniform/Preferred Titles • Usage greatly expanded in RDA, e.g., o CSR AACR2: Create/add a uniform title only in the case of monographic series and “generic” titles. Note language editions/translations in the 730, using $l to record the language. o RDA (CSR): Create/add a preferred title if “the authorized access point is the same as the authorized access point of another work.” Language editions/translations, along with the $l, has moved to the 130. NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Field Changes • 245$h: General Material Designator has been supplanted by the: o 336: Content type o 337: Media type o 338: Carrier type o Other Carrier types applicable to serials include: • “computer disc” • and “microfiche” NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Field Changes • 260: Publication, Distribution, Etc. has been replaced by the … • 264: Production, Publication, Distribution, Etc. o And the $c is back, if piece in hand. NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Field Changes • 300: Extent o AACR2 CSR: 300 field only used to describe tangible non-print formats, o RDA (CSR): Additionally required “provide extent and carrier terms for other formats if the resource is complete and the total extent is known.” Ceased in 1948 Ceased in 1978 NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Transcription • “Transcribe what you see” in the resource. • But PCC Libraries may choose not to transcribe capital letters as seen in the source. • And non-PCC libraries may choose not to accept the dictates of RDA at all(?) NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Hybrid Environment • Accept what you see in the record. • The usual philosophy of “do no harm” prevails. • RDA is the future though. • OCLC decreed on June 15, 2010 that: o no RDA record may be converted to AACR2; o no duplicate record may be created based on a different cataloging standard; • LC and PCC will ultimately cease to support AACR2. FRBR in the Bib • FRBR concepts form the foundation of RDA: What this means in a bib record is that: • A Work is defined in part by its: o Creator/Other person, family, or corporate body: 1XX o Preferred title; Form; Date of work; Place of origin; Other distinguishing characteristics: 130/240 o Related work: 7XX fields (not incl. 773, 774, 787) FRBR in the Bib • A Work is realized through its Expression. • An Expression is defined in part by its: o o o o o o Language of expression: 008/35-37, 041/546 Language of the content: 041, 546 Script: 546 Date of expression: 130/240 Content type: 336 Related expression: 7XX fields (not incl. 773, 774, 787) NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 FRBR in the Bib • An Expression is accessible via its Manifestation, which is the content carrier. • A Manifestation is defined in part by the: 022, 030 Manifestation ID 245 Title proper 264 Production, Distribution, etc. 300 Extent 337 Media type 338 Carrier type 362 Numeric and/or alphabetic designation 76X-787: Related Manifestation for format versions (776) and reproductions (775) o 588: Source of description o o o o o o o o NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 FRBR in the Bib • A Manifestation is acquired by a given library in the form of an Item, which is “piece in hand.” • An Item is defined in part by its: o 76X-787 Related item for reproductions and bound withs. o But really, the item is defined by its barcode, even its actual self. • FRBR is tricky to apply to serials cataloging. • FRBR Concepts of Find, Identify, Select, Obtain are natural to all cataloging. NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Training • RDA does not significantly impact serials cataloging. • Interim period in which records will be produced more slowly and will require more time to review is the only significant impact to cataloging workflows. • CONSER RDA “Bridge” Training Webinars will be made public by June 2013. • SCCTP CONSER Basic Serials Cataloging training materials will be available in late 2013. • OCLC has created a macro to produce the 33X fields. NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 Maps and Examples • CONSER RDA Core Elements, July 31, 2012 • CONSER RDA Cataloging Checklist, July 25, 2012 • CONSER MARC 21 to RDA core elements, June 31, 2012 o All three available from: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/issues/ • RDA as modified by CSR: recommended guidelines, January 12, 2011 • Examples of Full RDA Records (JSC) – Bibliographic Records • Examples of Full RDA Records (JSC) – Authority Records Webinars and Randoms • LC RDA Training Materials • RDA in NACO Training • RDA in NACO Series Training • PCC guidelines for the 264 field, June 11, 2012 • Provider-Neutral E-Resource MARC Record Guide: P-N/RDA, Serials and Integrating Resources version, January 1, 2013: • PCC Post-Implementation Hybrid Bibliographic Records Guidelines, revised December 5, 2012 NC Serials Conference March 15, 2013 RDA and… (e)Integrating Resources Training resources (now) • PCC Task Group on Hybrid Integrating Resource Records Final report, April 25, 2012 o When to redescribe pre-RDA records using RDA? o What RDA elements can be added to pre-RDA records (creation of hybrid records) o Caveats for editing pre-RDA records using RDA o Section on revisions needed to IR Cataloging Manual highlights major changes to RDA IR cataloging • RDA Record Examples: Records for Serials and Websites: PCC SCT RDA Record Examples o Includes records for 1 database and 3 Web sites o “the records are consistent with revisions made to RDA that were included in the April 10, 2012 release of the RDA Toolkit” Training resources (on the way) • Revision of: Integrating Resources: A Cataloging Manual (Appendix A to the BIBCO Participants’ Manual and Module 35 of the CONSER Cataloging Manual) o Initial work was to be completed in late August 2012. o Expected completion: ??? • Revision of: SCCTP Integrating Resources Workshop o Expected completion: ??? Changes: redescription • The PCC recommendation is to redescribe a preRDA record using RDA whenever the latest iteration of the resource is available. o “However, the final decision should be left up to the cataloger (or institutional policy).” Workload, Workflow, Training Changes: Preferred source of title info • Affects eIRs only • RDA 2.2.2.4: “…Use as the preferred source of information…embedded metadata in textual form that contains a title…” Searching OCLC, CopyCat Changes: Additions to access points representing works • RDA 6.27.1.9 and associated LC-PCC PS • In RDA, overall, we see more differentiation of access points for works (i.e. more “uniform titles”) Searching OCLC, CopyCat RDA and… the OPAC Disclaimer/Caveats • Due to different… o ILSs (and their limitations) o OPAC/discovery layer configurations o Local practice and needs… • Every library’s RDA OPAC strategy/needs may differ • Focus on immediate issues, not eventual possibilities No more GMD – It depends… • No more $h [electronic resource] or $h [serial] • If OPAC display/scoping is based on fixed field coding, this isn’t as big a deal • If any aspect of OPAC display/scoping depends on GMD, you’ve got work to do! • Some libraries are opting to retain GMD locally • Impact on backend users (us!) o Finding the right record in backend ILS o Alert public services librarians to the coming change • Their training/LibGuides/etc. for users may need updating 336/337/338 – No worries • Content, Media, and Carrier Type fields • Not very user-friendly – Not being displayed in SearchTRLN • Too early to base scoping on these -- fixed-fields are more reliable at this point • Possible use: generate “GMD-like labels” where GMD is missing (but this is currently not supported by ILSs) 264 – Priority! • • • • Must display in OPAC to show imprint information!
