Shaped CDs
MOUG Newsletter no. 74 (November 1999) p. 12 and was reprinted in
"Cataloger's Judgment as Q&A 2.56:
Question: I recently purchased a "shaped" CD, the shape of which isn't the
standard 4 3/4 in. circle, and it got me to thinking about how these things should
be described. How do you reflect its dimensions in the 300 $c? Would you still
give its diameter in inches (as for any other sound recording), or would you use
centimeters? The container mentions that this type of disc is "Not playable in CD
changer or car CD player.“ Would you put this information in a 538 note, or just a
standard 500? The disc is (very) roughly triangular in shape. At its widest, the
CD's diameter is about 4 1/2 in. The disc (for want of a better term) is an
interview CD featuring the British heavy metal group Iron Maiden. It was
published in 1997 by Sonotec for their Private Talks line, manufactured by Cuba
GmbH, Berlin (in fact, they've trademarked the term "Shape CD"), and distributed
by DA Music, Germany. The disc itself features a lineup picture of the band with
their cadaverous mascot "Eddie" looming over them. The CD is shaped so that it's
broad at the bottom and tapers off towards the top. For fans of "Star Trek: Deep
Space 9," it looks very much like a top-down silhouette of the USS Reliant*. (How
do you like that for an analogy?). The digital information itself is still in circular
rings, but takes up only 1/2 to 3/4s of the disc's surface. For an actual picture of
this "disc" (as well as others), take a look at the following Web site:
http://members.xoom.com/shapecdclub/shapecat9.htm (mine is in the upper
left corner of Seite 9).
*Actually, it was the USS Defiant.
Answer: Presumably, even though the shape is a bit odd, the CD is still designed
to play in most standard CD players (with the exceptions noted). That means that
its widest diameter should still be considered the standard 4 3/4 in. and should be
so described in the 300 subfield $c (not that 6.5D2 gives us much choice in the
matter). I am guessing that the actual playing surface (with the pits and spaces to
be read by the laser) remains circular within the odd shape. In accordance with
6.7B10, try to describe the physical shape, perhaps something like:
500
Disc is roughly triangular in shape.
Optionally, as you describe the shape, you could also describe the illustration and
how it defines the shape of the CD, for example:
500 Disc is roughly triangular in shape, with portrait of the band across
the base and its mascot Eddie at the apex.
If the term "Shape CD" appears on the item, it would be a logical quoted note
(500). Additionally, include the statement about the disc not being playable in
certain types of machines, either in quoted form or in paraphrase, whichever is
appropriate. I think this note fits into the definition of, and could properly be
coded as, 538. One also wonders if this is some sort of limited or otherwise
special edition, with a standard round disc also being available. If there is some
indication of that on the item, you can transcribe an edition statement or optionally
formulate one as per 6.2B3.

COMMENTS
[General comment] Use of abbreviations has been considerably reduced, e.g., page and pages in 500, September in
518.
================================================================================================
[040] In order to identify records created following RDA, a new code for use in 040 $e has been defined for RDA as the
source of the description convention. Value “i” in Leader/18 (Descriptive cataloging form) indicates that ISBD
punctuation is in the record at subfield boundaries.
================================================================================================
[100 and 7XX] RDA provides a list of relationship designators in Appendix I for relationships between a resource and
persons, corporate bodies, etc., that is much more comprehensive than the designations of functions available in
AACR2. These designators could be used in lieu of MARC relator codes.
================================================================================================
[240] RDA allows adding elements like Other distinguishing characteristics of the expression (Korngold and
Marischka), Content type (Performed music) and Date of expression (1954) to make the authorized access point
representing the expression unique. However, RDA prescribes no specific order for the added elements. In this
exercise, I followed the order that made the most sense.
================================================================================================
[245] The GMD is no longer used, being replaced with Content type, Medium type and Carrier type in fields 336, 337
and 338.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Statements of responsibility taken in accompanying material are not enclosed in brackets since accompanying
material is considered as part of the resource in a comprehensive description. RDA contains no instruction to
transcribe only statements that are formally presented, i.e. not embedded in text, hence the last statement of
responsibility taken from the text of the program notes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[260] When the date of publication is not identified in the resource, a date or approximate date of publication must be
supplied. The phrase “[date of publication not identified]” is recorded when the resource doesn’t bear a date of
publication and when a probable date cannot be supplied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The copyright date is required if neither a date of publication nor a date of distribution can be identified. The
phonogram symbol (or the word phonogram if the symbol cannot be reproduced) is used instead of the letter p.

[300] Playing speed is indicated for CDs, even if it is standard for that format.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Encoding format (CD audio) is a new element which makes the Compact disc note unnecessary. This element could
be omitted if a term in common usage conveying the same information such as compact disc was used to give the
extent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dimensions are given in centimetres unless the agency exercises the option to use another system of measurement.
================================================================================================
[336, 337 and 338] Content type (336), Media type (337) and Carrier type (338) replace the GMD. One can record as
many terms as are applicable to the resource being described or record only the terms that apply to the predominant
part of the resource or to its most substantial parts. In this exercise, only the terms applying to the predominant part
of the resource have been included.
================================================================================================
[5XX] Order of notes is governed by ISBD, which prescribes a slightly different order than AACR2.
================================================================================================
[500] Note on title even if the title is taken from the label; it might be omitted, though, “if the resource bears only a
single title and the title appears on the resource itself” (2.20.2.3).
================================================================================================
[518] Place of capture and Date of capture have been established as two different sub-elements for which specific
subfields have been defined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The prescribed format for Date of capture is year, month, day.
================================================================================================
[700] RDA provides a list of relationahip designators in Appendix J for relationships between works, expression,
manifestations and items. Using $i in fields X00, X10, X11 and X30 is one way that could be used in MARC 21 to
encode these designators.
