Cataloging Sound Recordings in RDA A pre-conference workshop for SEMLA October 10, 2013 Nashville, Tennessee Agenda • Information – Quick introduction to RDA – Sound recording formats introduction – When to input a new record – Preferred sources of information – Description – Showing relationships • Work on your own original record RDA: JUST THE (VERY) BASICS • Based on the FRBR hierarchy of works, expressions, manifestations, and items. • Work – Intellectual product • Expression – Physical realization • Manifestation – A particular embodiment of an expression • Item – A single physical instance of a manifestation. Definitions from http://rdabasics.com/2012/08/24/theoreticalfoundations/ WEMI for sound recordings • Work: Gubaidulina, Sofia, 1931- Sonatas, double bass, piano. • Expression: . . . as performed by Daniele Roccato (bass) and Fabrizio Ottaviucci (piano) • Manifestation: . . . and recorded on the CD In croce (Mainz, Germany : Wergo, 2013) • Item: . . . FSU MUS CD 23726 (bar code 31254800502946) Attributes & Relationships • All Works, Expressions, Manifestations, and Items are Entities in RDA. • Each entity can have attributes and also relationships with other entities (such as persons, families and corporate bodies.) • Attributes – Basically, descriptive elements • Relationships – Can, and do, exist between various levels of the hierarchy. New Terminology • Carrier – The physical medium in which data, sound, images, are stored. • Creator – Author, composer, etc. • Authorized Access Point – Heading, added entry • AAP for Creator – Main entry • Preferred title – Uniform title • Audio disc – Sound disc Sound Recordings Compact Discs • 4 ¾ inches in diameter • Digital LP Records • • • • • • 33 1/3 rpm Analog 10-12” diameter Microgroove Analog electrical storage Lateral or combined cutting Tape Formats Cassette Popular from the mid-1970s to mid-1990s Reel-to-Reel • First used in 1930s • Some use today. Streaming Audio • “Streaming media are video or audio transmitted over a network that can be played immediately, with no need to download an entire file before playback.” – OLAC Best Practices for Cataloging Streaming Media (2009) • Common file types: Windows Media (.wma, .wax), MP3 (.mp3), Windows audio file (.wav), MIDI (.midi), Music CD playback (.cda) Other Sound Media You May Encounter • • • • • • • 78 rpm discs Transcription discs Wire recordings Cylinders (wax or shellac) Mini-discs 8-track tape cartridges DATs (Digital Audio Tapes) Getting Started When to input a new record • • • • • Different sound format (CD vs. LP) Different year of publication Different publisher name Different content (more or less selections) Different edition statements DO NOT input a new record • Packaging is new, but content remains the same. • Distribution dates differ. • A new date is listed for the packaging • Absence or presence of a publisher number • Absence or presence of multiple publishers, distributors, etc. as long as one on the resource matches one on the record Look at the resource • A sound recording doesn’t have a title page, so you’ll need to look at everything that comes with or on the item. • Search the OCLC database. – Number searches, such as UPC or publisher number can be the most efficient – Name-title search, qualified by format and date • If you can’t find a match, it’s time for a new record! Sample record (Classical CD) Classical CD, pt. 2 Classical CD, pt. 3 Sample Record (“Popular” CD) “Popular” CD, pt. 2 One more! Description Preferred source of information • 1st choice: Disc surface or label • 2nd choice: Embedded metadata in textual form that contains a title. (Not common in CDs) • 3rd choice: A container or accompanying material (spine, insert, etc.) “Give preference to sources in which the information is formally presented.” Source of Information Statement of responsibility • New terminology: “Creator,” not composer/author. • Do not give list a performer as a creator in the 100 field unless he/she has actually composed the music. “Take what you see.” • Transcribe misspellings as seen on the preferred source, without a [sic.] • Give correct form of title in 246. • Give corrected form of other information in 500 notes. • Capitalization can be either transcribed as seen – or not, depending on local practice. • Do not use abbreviations except on certain cases (units of measure, op., no., thematic index numbers, voice ranges) Title Other titles • 246 – Parallel title – Other form of title – Spine title – Title from insert • 740 – Uncontrolled analytic title entries. Edition and Series Statements • Is it an edition or a series? Or neither? • Take edition statement from the source of information (i.e. disc). • Series statement can be taken from any of the sources of information. • Record “series-like” and “edition-like” statements in a quoted 500 note.

NEW SLIDE: Subject Headings • There have been no changes to subject headings in RDA (so far.) • Add as many as necessary to reflect the pieces represented on the recording. • Look for a new Form/Genre Thesaurus coming soon! Relationships People, corporate bodies, families • 1xx, 7xx fields. • Composers, performers, conductors, performing ensembles, arrangers, etc. Relationships in our Example Sofia Gubaidulina is the creator of the work [Sonatas, double bass & piano]. -- (She is also a contributor, as an arranger of music for the work In croce.) Fabrizio Ottaviucci is a performer. The recording contains the works [Sonatas, double bass & piano] and Pantomima. It also contains the expressions In croce and [Preludes, cello], which are arrangements. Relationship Designators “A designator that indicates the nature of the relationship between entities represented by authorized access points, descriptions, and/or identifiers.” – RDA Toolkit glossary Relationship Designators for Contributors • 1xx, 7xx $e • Persons, families, and corporate bodies associated with an expression. Some of these are familiar: – Performer (singer, instrumentalist, conductor, narrator) – Editor – Arranger of music Relationship Designators for Contributors – Recording engineer -- contributing to an expression of a work by supervising the technical aspects of a sound or video recording session. – Recordist -- contributing to an expression of a work by using a recording device to capture sound and/or video during a recording session, including field recordings of natural sounds, folkloric events, music, etc. – Composer (expression) -- A person, family, or corporate body contributing to an expression by adding music to a work that originally lacked it, by composing new music to substitute for the original music, or by composing new music to supplement the existing music. * Definitions from RDA Toolkit 700 fields for contributors Added Authorized Access Points Formerly known as “added (analytic) entries” Another example Now practice creating your own record!
