RDA Module - Introduction

What is different? Guiding principles not rule by example Structure of the RDA text Structure of the description Language & terminology Transcription conventions Use of controlled vocabularies RDA Module - Introduction 3
4
What is the same? Goals are still to Describe the resource Identify those responsible for the work Make connections to related works Every reader his ‘book’, every ‘book’ its reader RDA Module - Introduction 4
5
RDA Principles General introduction: “principles” not “rule by example” 0.0 Data created using RDA to describe a resource are designed to assist users with the following tasks: Find Identify Select Obtain RDA Module - Introduction 5
6
RDA Principles 0.4.3 Differentiation The data describing a resource should differentiate that resource from other resources. Sufficiency The data describing a resource should be sufficient to meet the needs of the user with respect to selection of an appropriate resource. Relationships The data describing a resource should indicate significant relationships between the resource described and other resources. Representation The data describing a resource should reflect the resource’s representation of itself. Common Usage or Practice Data that is not transcribed from the resource itself should reflect common usage in the language and script preferred by the agency creating the data. RDA Module - Introduction 6

RDA Structure Divided according to two goals of resource descriptionIdentify and Relate No longer organized by class of materials Each chapter in Section 1 addresses a user task 2/ Identifying Attributes of Manifestations & items FIND / IDENTIFY 3/ Describing Carriers SELECT 4/Providing Acquisition & Access Information OBTAIN RDA Module - Introduction 7
8
RDA Structure General introduction Recording attributes –Ch. 1-7: work, expression, manifestation, item –Ch. 8-16: person, family, corporate body, place Recording relationships: ch. 17-22, 24-32 Appendices Glossary Index 8

RDA Structure FRBR Group 1 Entities Section 1: Describing manifestations and items Section 2: Describing works and expressions FRBR Group 2 Entities Section 3: Describing persons, families, corporate bodies FRBR Group 3 Entities Section 4: Describing concept, object, event, place RDA Module - Introduction 9
10
RDA Structure RDA is not divided by format Each instruction applies to all types of material / physical formats. Some guidelines and instructions in chapters refer specifically to resources issued in a particular manner. RDA Module - Introduction 10
11
RDA Structure 3.4.1.3 Recording Extent Record the extent of the resource by giving the number of units and an appropriate term for the type of carrier as listed under 3.3.1.3 3.3.1.3 Exceptions Cartographic resources. Notated music Still images. Text Three-dimensional forms RDA Module - Introduction
12
Structure of the Description AACR2’s levels of description have been replaced by a set of required elements Core Elements Guided by FRBR/FRAD “high value” elements to support user tasks, ISBD mandatory elements Floor not a ceiling RDA Module - Introduction 12
13
1st Level Description vs Core Element Set (0.6) Title proper First Statement of responsibility Edition statement Material (or type of publication) specific details First Publisher, place Date of publication Extent of item Notes Standard number Title proper First Statement of responsibility Edition statement Material (or type of publication) specific details First Publisher, place Date of publication Extent of item Notes Standard number Title proper First Statement of responsibility Edition statement First place of publication First publisher’s name Date of publication Title proper of series Numbering within series Identifier for manifestation Carrier type Extent Title proper First Statement of responsibility Edition statement First place of publication First publisher’s name Date of publication Title proper of series Numbering within series Identifier for manifestation Carrier type Extent RDA Module - Introduction 13
14
Structure of the Description CORE IF statements Some elements become Core IF another element is absent Place of distribution is a core element for a resource in a published form if the place of publication is not identified. RDA Module - Introduction 14
15
Exceptions to the rule? At certain points you are offered o Options for additions or omission o Alternatives to the stated rule Library of Congress has published their decisions on when their catalogers will apply these alternatives and options RDA Module - Introduction 15
16
Alternatives and Options 0.8 Alternative guidelines and instructions provide an alternative to what is specified in the immediately preceding guideline or instruction. Optional instructions provide for either: a) the optional addition of data that supplement what is called for in the immediately preceding instruction or b) the optional omission of specific data called for in the immediately preceding instruction. RDA Module - Introduction 16
17
Alternatives At certain points RDA offers an alternative to the stated rule 1.7 When instructions specify transcription … apply the general guidelines on capitalization, punctuation, symbols, abbreviations ALTERNATIVE If the agency creating the data has established in- house guidelines on capitalization, punctuation, symbols, abbreviations, etc. or has designated a published style manual, use those guidelines or that style manual RDA Module - Introduction 17
18
Optional provisions 1.4 Language and Script Record the elements listed below in the language and script in which they appear on the sources from which they are taken. Optional Addition Record an element listed above in a transliterated form in addition to the form recorded in the script used on the source LC practice/PCC practice for Optional addition: If non-Latin scripts are provided for the elements listed at RDA 1.4, provide romanized equivalents for those elements listed as "Mandatory if Applicable" in the PCC Guidelines for Creating Bibliographic Records in Multiple Character Sets.RDA 1.4PCC Guidelines for Creating Bibliographic Records in Multiple Character Sets RDA Module - Introduction 18

27
RDA / IFLA Representation Principle Take what you see /Accept what you find Do not abbreviate AACR2 uses abbreviations in certain transcribed elements such as edition, numbering, place of publication RDA permits abbreviations in transcribed elements only if that is how they are represented on the source Do not correct errors AACR 2 directed that inaccuracies be corrected RDA requires inaccuracies to be recorded as they appear No more use of [sic] or [i.e.____] RDA Module - Introduction 27

Use of Abbreviation You can adjust what is found on the resource when providing recorded elements Instructions at B5 direct you to use prescribed abbreviations in recorded elements for : Dimension Duration Details about musical works Date: Use the abbreviations A.D. and B.C. when recording a date in the Christian calendar associated with a person RDA Module - Introduction 30
