Outline – RDA and Electronic Resources
• A trip down cataloguing memory lane… (AACR1 to RDA)
• Categories (content vs carrier and FRBR entities, user tasks,
mode of issuance, content/media/carrier types)
• RDA elements – attributes of entities
• RDA elements – relationships between entities
• Other approaches to electronic resources (e.g., single
record, provider neutral)
A trip down cataloguing memory lane …
Anglo-American Cataloging Rules
AACR 1967
• Part I. Entry and Heading
• Part II. Description (including serials and photographic reproductions)
• Part III. Non-Book Materials
Manuscripts
Maps, Atlases, etc.
Motion Pictures and Filmstrips
Music
Phonorecords
Pictures, Designs, and other Two-Dimensional Representations
AACR2 1978 organization
• Description

Books, Pamphlets, and Printed Sheets
Cartographic materials
Manuscripts (Including Manuscript Collections)
Music
Sound Recordings
Motion Pictures and Videorecordings
Graphic Materials
Machine-Readable Data Files
Three-Dimensional Artefacts and Realia
Microforms
Serials
• Access (Headings, Uniform Titles, References)
AACR2 1978 – scope of machine-readable
data files
Machine-readable data files
- require use of a machine (such as a computer) for processing
- examples: “files stored on magnetic tape, punched cards (with or without a
magnetic tape strip), aperture cards, punched paper tapes, disk packs, mark
senses cards, and optical character recognition font documents” (AARC2 1978
9.0A)
- embrace both data and programs used to process that data
AACR2 1978 – examples of Extent of File
1 data file
2 program files
1 object program
1 data file (1,613 logical records)
2 program file (300 statements each, COBOL)
1 object program (IBM 360/40)
AACR2 1978
9.7B15 Mode of Use
"If the file cannot be used on all facilities available to the user of the
catalogue or other list, specify its mode of use."
Example:
Mode of use: On-line video or teletype terminal or with a small
dedicated computer (e.g., PDP 8)
AACR2 1988
• General Material Designation: "computer file" from "machinereadable data file"
• Direct access carriers versus remote access carriers
• Extent – number of physical units
•
•
•
•
computer cartridge
computer cassette
computer disk
computer reel
• File Characteristics – moved to different area of description
AACR2 1988
File characteristics:
computer data
computer program(s)
computer data and program(s)
add number of records, statements, etc.:
computer data (1 file : 350 records)
computer program (2150 statements)
computer data (2 files : 800, 1250 records) and programs (3 files : 7260, 3490, 5076 bytes)
AACR2 2001 – “Electronic Resources”
• GMD “computer file” changed to “electronic resources”
• Chapter 9 entirely replaced– Electronic Resources
• “Electronic resources often include components with characteristics found
in multiple classes of materials so there will frequently be a need to consult
other chapters. For example, in describing a serially-issued cartographic
electronic resource.”
• Still understood to be data, programs, or both
• Still treated in two ways: direct (local) vs. remote (networked)
[direct means a physical carrier to be inserted in a computerized device;
remote could mean stored on a hard disk as well as accessed by a network]
AACR2 2001 continued
• all remote access electronic resources considered “published”
• file characteristics area renamed to “Type and extent of resource area”
• electronic data; electronic program(s); electronic data and program(s)
• same additions (files, records, bytes)
• chief source of information changed from title screen to resource itself, and
removal of preference given to internal sources
• option for conventional terminology (“1 CD-ROM” instead of “1 computer
optical disk”)
• always give date viewed when describing remote access electronic
resources
AACR2 2002
• “Serials” replaced by “Continuing Resources” which was expanded to
include integrating resources (ongoing and finite) such as updating looseleafs and updating Web sites
• Type and extent of data abolished for electronic resources; added to Extent
or a note
• example: 1 CD-ROM (1 file : 240,000 bytes)
• example: 1 zip disk (96 mb)
• Optional recording of extent for remote access electronic resource + other
details
• example: 1 sound file : digital, mp3 file
• example: Web site
• example: 1 electronic text : HMTL file

User Tasks
• Identify – using attributes of an entity (e.g., confirming or
differentiating works, manifestations, persons)
• Select – using attributes of a resource (e.g., work, manifestation)
• Obtain – using attributes of a manifestation or item
• Find – entities using attributes of entities …
or entities using relationships between entities (e.g., work-to-work,
person-to-work, person-to-corporate body)
Mode of Issuance
• Single unit
A single physical unit or logical unit (e.g., a PDF file mounted on the web)
• Multipart monograph
Resource issued in two or more parts (either simultaneously or successively). Has a
finite number of parts.
• Serial
Resource issued in successive parts (usually with numbering) with no predetermined
conclusion. Includes reproductions of serials.
• Integrating resource
Resource added to or changed by means of updates integrated into the whole (e.g., an
updating loose-leaf publication; a continuously updated website)

Media used to store electronic files, designed for use with a computer. Includes media
that are accessed remotely through file servers as well as direct-access media such as
computer tapes and discs.
Media type – audio
Media used to store recorded sound, designed for use with a playback device such as a
turntable, audiocassette player, CD player, or MP3 player. Includes media used to store
digitally encoded as well as analog sound.
Media type – video
Media used to store moving or still images, designed for use with a playback device
such as a videocassette player or DVD player. Includes media used to store digitally
encoded as well as analog images.

Moving on to consider the RDA Elements …
Some preliminary points about RDA elements…
• Some elements are flagged as “core elements” – they are applied if
“applicable and readily ascertainable”
• Can add to core elements if needed to identify the resource
• Other elements are added on the basis of agency policy or cataloguer
judgment
• Library of Congress has added to the RDA core elements
Some other points about elements…
• In RDA’s structure, elements are organized by entity
(manifestations and items, followed by works and
expressions), and then by user task for each entity (identify,
select, obtain)
• Some values for elements are from controlled vocabulary
lists
• Some values for elements are transcribed from the
resource
• Some values for elements are notes adding details or
providing annotations on other elements

Related manifestations – different approaches
to electronic versions
• original vs reproduction
• single record approach
• provider neutral
Reproductions – two approaches
Library of Congress reconsidered cataloguing of reproductions…
•Facsimile theory – original first, data on reproduction in note (AACR1,
LC approach to microforms and expanded to electronic reproductions)
•Edition theory – reproduction first, data on original in note (AACR2,
RDA, LC’s revised approach to reproductions with 775/776)

The Future – cataloguing electronic resources
Issues and challenges:
•MARC mappings for
new RDA-based fields
like 344, 346, 347
•co-existence of different
standards
•entities, attributes, and
relationships –
FRBR/FRAD/FRSAD as
guides for the future
•Linked Data, Bibframe,
other encoding
standards
