RDA Test at LC Module 2 Identifying Manifestations

RDA Test at LC Module 2: Identifying Manifestations (aka Bibliographic Records) But Not Authorized Access Points or Relationships RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -Module 2

Pre-cataloging decision n “What am I cataloging? ” (RDA 1. 5) q q q Comprehensive description: the whole (a single-part unit, a multipart monograph, a serial, an integrating resource, a collection) Analytical description: a part or parts (a volume in a series, a chapter, a single song) Hierarchical description: the whole and parts together RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 2

New description needed? n Changes requiring a new description (RDA 1. 6) – new reasons: q q Change in mode of issuance Change in media type Change in edition statement: serials and integrating resources Re-basing of an integrating resource RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 3

“Reproductions” n Includes reprints, facsimiles, republications in a different carrier, etc. n Change in LC policy for the Test when the reproduction and the original are in different carriers: catalog the reproduction when making separate records RDA not a change from AACR 2 as written but is a change from current U. S. practice q Give information about the original as a related resource (see module 5) q RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 4

LC template or OCLC constant data record n Templates created based on these attributes (more information in this module): q q q n Mode of issuance Content type Carrier type MARC coding for RDA bibliographic records q q Leader/18: value “i” (ISBD) 040 $a DLC $b eng $c DLC $e rda RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 5

Basis for identifying the resource (RDA 2. 1) n Depends on type of description (comprehensive, etc. ) n Depends on mode of issuance n Depends on number of parts RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 6

Sources of information n Preferred source (not “chief source”) n Fewer categories for sources (RDA 2. 2): #1: Pages, leaves, etc. , or images of pages … #2: Moving images #3: All other resources More than one preferred source q Other sources of information q RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 7

ICP’s principle of representation n Transcribed information = “Take what you see” and “accept what you get” n In Training document #4, the letter “T” in parentheses by element name in first column = transcribed element RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 8

Transcribed vs. recorded elements n General guideline at RDA 1. 7. 1 addresses transcription of what is on the resource: Capitalization: follow appendix A q Punctuation, abbreviations, inaccuracies, symbols, initials, numbering: generally follow what is on source q n Elements recorded rather than transcribed: may adjust what is found on the resource or in another source RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 9

RDA 1. 7. 1 alternatives n RDA alternatives to adjusting found forms: Follow in-house guidelines or preferred style manual q Accept data from scanning, downloading, etc q n LC policy for the Test: Capitalization: cataloger’s judgment to accept found capitalization or apply appendix A q Accept data from digital sources q Other situations: follow RDA q RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 10

Capitalization and abbreviations n Appendix A for capitalization q q n Instructions for some specific situations + instructions by language LC: cataloger’s judgment to apply appendix or transcribe found capitalization Appendix B for abbreviations q Found forms except for a few specific situations RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 11

Language and script (RDA 1. 4) n Listing of elements to be transcribed from resource in found language/script q n n n Alternative: give found form + romanization = LC current practice for some languages (LCPS) Recorded elements (e. g. , extent) in English Adding information within an element: generally match language/script of element Supplied elements: generally in English RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 13

“What am I cataloging” in FRBR context n It’s the manifestation! n But, MARC bibliographic record includes information also about work and expression (and sometimes item) n So, use different RDA chapters to do fields 100 -787: see next slide and Training document #6 RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 14

FYI: MARC bibliographic record and FRBR: summary 1 XX/240 = work, expression 245 -260, 490 = manifestation 300 = expression, manifestation other 3 XX = work, expression, manifestation 5 XX = work, expression, manifestation 700 -730 = work, expression 760 -787 = work, expression, manifestation 8 XX = work, expression [& manifestation] RDA Test at LC: June 2010 -- Module 2 15
