MARC21 & FRBR/RDA

[How to relate MARC fields to FRBR & RDA]

04/24/23 COIN 2

Objectives

Connect MARC fields and subfields to the appropriate entity and attribute of FRBR

Recognize how RDA uses MARC

04/24/23 COIN 3

What is the difference?

FRBR is a conceptual model How is the information described and organized

RDA is a content standard (as is AACR2) What information is recorded and how

MARC is a carrier format Computer code to consistently handle the data

recorded They are not the same thing.

Be careful of your vocabulary.

04/24/23 COIN 4

MARC field ≠ RDA rule

MARC fields are containers for content. RDA describes content to be recorded that

sometimes ends up in different fields.

04/24/23 COIN 5

MARC data

What does the bibliographic record contain? MARC bib record is a mish-mash of WEMI

information. What does the authority record contain? Records information for the name

authorized access point, name attributes, and eventually, work and expression attributes

Conclusions

One bib record has attributes from all four entities of the FRBR structure

Attribute content may be by subfield, not by field.

04/24/23 COIN 11

What about the 008?

Attribute information is also recorded in the 008

Repeated information and new information

04/24/23 COIN 12

What about the 008?

Other attributes that may show up in the 008: illustrations, target audience, index, etc.

04/24/23 COIN 13

008: What entity or attribute is it?

Date info Place of pub Illustrations (optional) Target audience (juvenile) Nature of contents Gov publication Conference pub

So, now what?

So, now we will look at specific fields that may offer challenges as we apply RDA:

04/24/23 COIN 16

Fields with things to note

1XX fields can use the $e subfield 130 will be seen more, with qualifiers, to

break title conflicts 240 will need more qualifiers to break title

conflicts and will be used in places it wasn’t used before

130 with qualifiers?

04/24/23 COIN 18

240 field

New title proper and not revised is new manifestation with 240 (same as A2)

Same title proper and revised is new expression: no 240 (same as A2)

New title proper and revised is new expression: 240 (NOT same as A2) 780 field option for earlier edition, NOT 7XX (NOT same as

A2) What about no creator in the 1XX? Then remember

the 130.

04/24/23 COIN 19

240

04/24/23 COIN 20

240 field

$s is used more $o is used in musical works

04/24/23 COIN 21

Fields with things to note

300 Repetition $b for illustrative content is now optional (Expression

attribute) use of $e (not new, but possibly more frequent) recording duration for Music (Expression attribute)

5XX 500 – more variety of information 502 – we now use subfields instead of just text 505 – more frequent usage 546 – not just for language; non-Roman uses it for script;

Music uses this for form of musical notation

300 field repeated

04/24/23 COIN 23

Fields with things to note

7XX is used in many more ways, though many of them are optional The use of the $e subfield to describe Group 2

relationships 700/711/710/730/740 : not truly different 7XX name.title entries used more Expression information may be found in $l

subfield, even for original language Linking fields offer many more options

04/24/23 COIN 24

Fields with things to note

7XX linking fields Serials use is unchanged 775 & 776 are now available

775 : Other edition entry 776 : Additional physical form entry

Can be used to express FRBR relationships, especially the content relationships, such as adaptation of, contains (expression), reprint of, revision of, etc.

Use the $i subfield Found in RDA Appendix J

776 in action

04/24/23 COIN 27

New bibliographic fields

336 (RDA 6.9) Content type 337 (RDA 3.2) Media type 338 (RDA 3.3) Carrier type Closed vocabularies Repeat the field rather than repeat the $a subfield $3 is your judgment $b is pass-through element Same information can be found in 300 or 500 with

different details

04/24/23 COIN 28

Turning to the authority record

RDA tells us what to record, a little about how, nothing about where to record it; LC policy does tell us more about how and definitely where Name attributes are now being recorded in many

distinct fields, as well as the 670, by cataloger judgment

Specific attributes used to break conflict are still additions (qualifiers) in the authorized access point (1XX)

04/24/23 COIN 29

New authority fields 046 for dates 336 content (W/E) 370 associated place (Name) 371 address (Name) 372 field of activity (Name) 373 affiliation (Name) 374 occupation (Name) 375 gender (Name) 376 family information (Name) 377 associated language (Name) 380 form of work (W/E) 381 other distinguishing characteristic of work or expression (W/E) 382 medium of performance (W/E) 383 numeric designation of a musical work (W/E) 384 key (W/E)

04/24/23 COIN 30

Proposed authority fields 368 : additional corporate body attributes 373 changes : adding corporate body scope to affiliation 377 changes : expanding language to the expression 378 : fuller form of personal name 383 subfields : looking to add more subfield(s)

04/24/23 COIN 31

Fields with things to note

111 : ongoing conferences no longer established without qualifiers

100 : fuller form of name only if needed to break conflict

04/24/23 COIN 32
