RDA Changes (Discontinuation of GMD)

AACR2 General Material Designator Denotes what kind of material an object is if it’s not a book or a music

score

RDA - Content, Media, and Carrier Fields

Applied to ALL records, including books and scores

What are they?

They are terms that delineate:

the content of a resource

the intermediation device used for accessing the content

the carrier in which the content is housed/packaged

Change or new concept?

Both (sort of):

Brand new elements and terms, but…

Collectively replace the general material designation

Somewhat same purpose, but more granular

Used mostly for indexing and in the Advanced Search

Issues to Address with Systems

Patty Falk

Title: Music Catalog and Metadata Librarian

Bowling Green State University

pkfalk@bgsu.edu

Issues to Address with Systems Staff

•Work with cataloging staff and Systems Staff together

•Find out what your vendor is doing for RDA

•Review indexing and display configurations

•Add new MARC 21 fields (i.e. 336, 337, 338, etc.)

•Make changes in validation tables

•Create new macros

•Configure import and export profiles to include new fields

Issues to Address with Systems Staff-continued

•Test online system to see that all the mechanisms are in place

•Determine what you want to display and what you want suppressed from the public

•Determine if you want to change field names to reflect RDA changes

•76X-78X fields will display for reproductions of original

Implementation of RDA at BGSU

•Catalogers met regularly and trained in RDA together using

LC webinars

•Catalogers created local policies for changes in RDA and brought to appropriate library groups to share and discuss before presenting to all library staff

•Catalogers worked with systems staff to address suppression of 33x fields until different wording can be created by statewide consortium cataloging group (OhioLINK group)-this would only confuse patrons and other staff as it currently reads

Authority Records in RDA

•New fields have been added to RDA authority

records with some very specific to music including:

•382-medium of performance

•383-numeric designation of music work

•384-key

Authority Records in RDA

•Personal name example with 38x fields

Authority Record Examples

•Musical group examples

Final Thoughts/Questions

RDA is still a work in progress and will require updates, particularly for music issues

Most of us are not experts

Make use of resources through LC, RDA testing institutions (Stanford, Brigham Young, Northwestern, UCLA, University of Illinois, etc.), RDA Best Practices for Music Cataloging document, OCLC, ALA, listservs, and webinars

Don’t be afraid to ask others for help since we’re all in this together
