5. Brenndorfer’s RDA in 10 Easy Steps Step 6 - Consider the persons, families and corporate bodies associated with the book – Record the things that help people identify a person/family/corporate body. – End with the construction of the authorized access point for the person/family/corporate body, with the other identifying elements going into new or existing MARC authority fields. Construct variant access points as required. RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.5 Source: Brenndorfer, Thomas. RDA in 10 easy steps. (January 2011)

6. Objectives of this module Be able to identify persons, families and corporate bodies by using or adding additional elements in authority records Be able to record persons, families and corporate bodies by using or creating authorized access points Understand when to use attributes as part of the authorized access point Be aware of chapter 16 for identifying places 6RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

7. Relevant RDA chapters 8General guidelines... 9Identifying persons* 10Identifying families* 11Identifying corporate bodies* 16Identifying places** *FRBR/FRAD group 2 entities **FRBR/FRAD group 3 entity 7RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

8. Review: FRBR/FRAD user tasks FIND persons, families, and corporate bodies that correspond to the user's stated search criteria IDENTIFY the person, family, or corporate body represented by the data (i.e., confirm that the person… is the one sought, or distinguish between two or more persons… with … similar names) UNDERSTAND the relationship between the name used to represent the person… and another name by which that person… is known (e.g., a different language form of the name) UNDERSTAND why a particular name has been recorded as a preferred or variant name. 8RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

9. Review: vocabulary Heading Authorized access point See reference Variant access point Core elements = elements that support the user tasks find and identify 9RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

10. Authorized access points How to identify (RDA 8-11) Form of authorized access point (RDA 8-11) Who to record in bibliographic records (RDA 18-22) Who to record as related access points in other authority records (RDA 29-32) 10RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

11. Variant access points Which variants to include in authority record as 4XX fields? – None are core in RDA – LC policy: Cataloguer judgment – PCC, consortia, and local libraries may want to develop “best practices” 11RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

12. MARC changes for RDA Name Authority Records (NAR) Two clues that the authority record is an RDA record: – 008/10: value “z” (Other) – 040 $a ___ $b ___ $c ___ $e rda You may also notice some of the new MARC fields such as 370 for associated place 12RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

13. Already an NAR in LC Name Authority File (NAF)? During Test, if the RDA form is different from the AACR2 form, the RDA form is given in a 7XX field with a 2nd indicator of “4”. This practice has been discontinued. You could still find authority records with the 7XX field: – If the 1XX and the 7XX are the same, delete the 7XX – If the 1XX and the 7XX are different, do not remove the 7XX. These types of NARs will be reviewed as part of a PCC project. 13RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

14. Context of this module Elements in authorized access points Other identifying elements New fields for some of the data elements in authority records Not how to create authority records 14RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

15. General guidelines (RDA 8) Terminology Core elements Language and script Recording names – Capitalization – follow appendix A – Numbers, hyphens: give as found – Spacing of initials and acronyms – Abbreviations – follow RDA appendix B Additional notes for authority records – Scope of usage – Source consulted, etc. 15RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

17. Assemble elements to create access points All elements for identification are listed first Cataloguers choose from those elements the ones needed for use in the authorized access point in order to distinguish between entities RDA is broader in scope than AACR2 – identification of entities not just “ name headings” 17RDA Module - Identifying persons etc.

63. What to do with an existing NAR : PCC Policy PCC cataloguers creating RDA bibliographic records will use authorized forms of names and titles established in existing AACR2 and RDA authority records. If no AACR2 or RDA authority record exists, PCC cataloguers continuing to use RDA will create RDA authority records. The resulting RDA authorized access points will be used as needed on RDA and AACR2 bibliographic records. Some bibliographic records may contain a mix of authorized headings for different names or titles created according to AACR2 and RDA.
