This document provides an overview and agenda for an event on RDA Revisited. The agenda includes sections on RDA basics, updates to RDA, practical applications of RDA, a copy cataloging exercise, and the future of RDA and cataloging. The RDA basics section outlines some key differences between RDA and AACR2, such as fewer abbreviations, removal of the rule of three, removal of Latin terms, and replacing the GMD. The RDA updates section notes the process for updating RDA and summarizes changes made since 2013. The practical applications section discusses hybrid records and authority control in RDA.

![OCLC Policy - Hybrid Records
When editing and replacing master records in WorldCat, catalogers
may choose to add some RDA elements to existing non-RDA records
without re-cataloging the entire record according to RDA. Candidates
for such editing include, but are not limited to:
• Adding relator terms to access points
• Spelling out non-transcribed abbreviations
• Adding complete statements of responsibility in 245 (in place of "[et
al.]")
• Adding 336/337/338 fields
When adding or editing one or more such elements in the master
record without re-cataloging the record to RDA, do not code the
record as RDA. OCLC will generally adhere to the PCC Guidelines on
Hybrid Bibliographic Records and expects member libraries editing
existing records to add selected RDA elements to follow these
guidelines.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/rdarevisited-140922114633-phpapp02/85/RDA-Revisited-25-320.jpg)
![Title and statement of responsibility -
MARC field 245
Ensure that RDA instructions have been followed:
• Delete “[sic]” or “[i.e., ___].”
• Remove $h if present.
• Ensure the presence of the first statement of
responsibility.
• In an existing statement of responsibility, replace
a supplied “[et al.]” with a full transcription of the
statement as on the source, or record “[and ___
others]”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/rdarevisited-140922114633-phpapp02/85/RDA-Revisited-35-320.jpg)
![Place of publication - 264 $a
• Ensure that the first place of the first publisher
is transcribed as found in the resource.
• Include both the local place name and the
larger jurisdiction, if present on the source
• Replace “[S.l.]” with a supplied place
(preferable) or “[Place of publication not
identified]”.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/rdarevisited-140922114633-phpapp02/85/RDA-Revisited-38-320.jpg)

- 33. How to Identify an RDA Record • 040 $e = rda • Descriptive cataloging form = i
- 34. Data Elements to Check • Title and statement of responsibility - MARC field 245 • Edition statement - MARC field 250 • Publication information - MARC field 264 • Physical Description - MARC field 300 • Content, media & carrier types - MARC fields 336, 337 & 338
- 35. Title and statement of responsibility - MARC field 245 Ensure that RDA instructions have been followed: • Delete “[sic]” or “[i.e., ___].” • Remove $h if present. • Ensure the presence of the first statement of responsibility. • In an existing statement of responsibility, replace a supplied “[et al.]” with a full transcription of the statement as on the source, or record “[and ___ others]”
- 36. Edition statement - MARC field 250 Ensure that the edition statement has been recorded exactly as it appears on the resource: • Expand unauthorized abbreviations to the full form • Record numerals as found on the resource
- 37. Publication information - MARC field 264 • Ensure that the field is tagged as a 264 field and use the appropriate 2nd indicator value based on the content of the field. • Remember that there is no ‘home country’ requirement for either place or publisher • Ensure that the data has been transcribed according to RDA instructions
- 38. Place of publication - 264 $a • Ensure that the first place of the first publisher is transcribed as found in the resource. • Include both the local place name and the larger jurisdiction, if present on the source • Replace “[S.l.]” with a supplied place (preferable) or “[Place of publication not identified]”.
- 39. Publisher - 264 $b • Ensure that the first publisher is transcribed as found in the resource • Expand abbreviations as applicable, and add missing words in the name of the publisher. • Add levels of hierarchy that have been omitted from the imported record
- 40. Date of publication - 264 $c • Ensure that the date is transcribed as found on the resource • Ensure that the date of publication is given even if it is a supplied date (e.g., it is often possible to supply a publication date, inferred from a copyright date) • You may, additionally -- but are not required to -- record a copyright date in a separate 264 field, with a second indicator of “4”; if recorded, this field contains only $c and the must be used.
- 41. Physical Description - MARC field 300 • Expand abbreviations when applicable.
- 42. Content, media & carrier types - MARC fields 336, 337 & 338 • Ensure that $a contains the appropriate term from RDA for the resource in hand
- 43. Access Points to Check • Creator - MARC field 1XX • Other creators, contributors & other entities - MARC field 7XX
- 44. Creator - MARC field 1XX • Ensure that the principal or first-named creator has been recorded in the 1XX field, for a work by a single creator or by a group of collaborators. • Note, especially, situations with more than 3 entities in a single statement of responsibility, which would have been ‘title main entry’ according to AACR2; remove a 7XX incorrectly provided for the first creator in such cases.
- 45. Other creators, contributors & other entities - MARC field 7XX • To the extent possible, accept the complement of 7XX fields in the imported record. • Remember that the concept of “justification” is not present in RDA; an access point may be provided for an entity that is not recorded elsewhere in a descriptive element.

- 49. RDA Toolkit Problem Solving
- 50. Exercise Scenario: Two resources by the same author. One uses accent marks in the name, one does not. There is no AAP in the authority file. How should you record the name (i.e., with or without diacritic marks) in the 100 field?
- 51. Exercise Scenario: Title page has Second edition; Spine has 2nd edition; CIP has 2nd ed. What is the Preferred Source for Transcribing the Edition Statement?
- 52. Exercise Scenario: You have a book with pages numbered 1-23, 1-200, and A1-A34. Find the information about irregular paging in the RDA Toolkit. What does the RDA guideline say? Is there an associated LC PCC PS?
- 53. Exercise Scenario: You are cataloging a book that is a compilation of 3 novellas (all by the same author), and you need to know how to record the title. What does the RDA guideline say? Is there an associated LC PCC PS?

- 64. In traditional cataloging, a record is one package. Bibliographic Record Author Title
- 65. Bibliographic Record Records can be exchanged, but there is no way to exchange the individual pieces of information within a record. Bibliographic Record Bibliographic Record
- 66. When RDA (and a method of encoding that recognizes its elements) is used, a bibliographic record is made up of many pieces of data. Person Is author of Title Bibliographic Record And the relationships between these pieces of data are defined.
- 67. Person Is author of Title Bibliographic Record The boundaries of the record can be dissolved…
- 68. Person Is author of Title Bibliographic Record …and the data can interact with other information on the Web…

A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 exchange format to more Web based, Linked Data standards. Zepheira and The Library of Congress are working together to develop a Linked Data model, vocabulary and enabling tools / services for supporting this Initiative.” - http://bibframe.org
