Outline

•What is a Serial?•Original Cataloging•Working with copy•When do I need a new record?•Tips and Tricks•On the horizon

Based on FRBR

What is a Serial?

•Still mostly the same as AACR2•Issued in successive parts (can be

irregular)•Usually has numbering•Has no predetermined conclusion

•Includes resources that exhibit characteristics of serials but have a limited duration as well as reproductions

General changes in RDA

•Focus is on content, then carrier•Transcribe what you see•Fewer abbreviations

Original cataloging

What’s up MARC?

Basis for identification of the resource

•If issues or parts are sequentially numbered, use the lowest numbered issue or part available

•If issues are unnumbered or not sequentially numbered, use the issue or part with the earliest date of issue

Preferred source of information

•RDA 2.2.2.2 (in descending order of preference)

▫Title page▫Cover▫Caption▫Masthead▫Colophon▫Anywhere else formally presented on

resource

CaptionA title given at the beginning of first page of the text

Colophon

•An inscription usually placed at the end of a book and usually containing facts relative to its production

•Most often seen in Asian language serials.

Source of description

•Always provide:

▫588 description based on note

▫Source of title with 588 combined with description based on note

▫588 Latest issue consulted note14

Source of description

588 ## $a Description based on: Volume 1, Number 4 (April 2008); title from masthead.

Authorized Access Points

•Ensure that the Authorized Access Point is not in conflict with another work. Use qualifiers as needed. ▫130 0# $a Estatística agrícola (Lisbon,

Additions to the Authorized Access Point for a Work•LC-PCC PS 6.27.1.9 – Consider authorized

access point conflicts among all resources, not just serials

▫Authorized access points are identical: addition is required

▫Authorized access points are similar: cataloger’s judgment

Exercises 1-2

•What is the Authorized Access Point for the work?

Exercise 1

Cover:

-Hint: the resource describes the internal policies and finances of the corporate body.

-Also, assume no conflict.

MARC 336, 337, and 338•Content type = 336•Media type = 337•Carrier type = 338

•Subfields: $a term $b code $2 source

•May repeat 33X field or repeat subfield $a within a single 33X field

336 Content•Content type RDA 6.9.1.3, Table 6.1

▫cartographic image, computer dataset, notated music, performed music, sounds, text, three-dimensional moving image

▫If none apply, use “other”; if not certain, use “unspecified”

337 Media

•Media type RDA 3.2.1.3, Table 3.1

▫Audio, computer, microform, microscopic, projected, stereographic, unmediated, video;

▫If none apply, use “other”; if not certain, use “unspecified”

337 ## $a unmediated $b n $2 rdamedia

Change in media type

A new description is required for all changes involving media type even if there is no change in authorized access point. Example:

Paper: Media type: unmediated ↓CD-ROM: Media type: computer

Change in media type130 0# $a Serials directory (Birmingham, Ala.)245 14 $a The serials directory.336 ## $a text $txt $2 rdacontent337 ## $a unmediated $b n $2 rdamedia338 ## $a volume $b nc $2 rdacarrier

338 Carrier

•Carrier type RDA 3.3.1.3

▫Specific terms for audio, computer, microform, carriers, etc. carriers

338 ## $a volume $b nc $2 rdacarrier

Change in carrier types

•If there is a change in carrier type but not media type note the change within the description.

Except: when a serial changes from online to another computer carrier and vice versa

Carrier types

•Minor changes:▫Broadsheet to volume (Media type:

unmediated)▫Microfiche to microfilm (Media type:

microform)▫CD-ROM to DVD-ROM (Media type:

computer)•New record required:

▫CD-ROM to online (Media type: computer)

Exercise: Carrier type: How would you edit 33X fields?

The last CD-ROM issue was: 1997/2001. The first DVD-ROM issue was: 1998/2002.

Exercise: Carrier Type - Answer

•300 ## $a computer discs

•300 ## $a CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs

•500 ## $a Volumes for <-1997/2001> issued on CD-ROM; volumes for 1998/2002- issued on DVD-ROM.

775 08 $i English edition: $t Azerbaijan focus

776 08 $i Print version: $t Proceedings of the … Western Dairy Management Conference

775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $t Hiwa (Baghdad, Iraq)

776 instead of 78X

•Use the 776 field for linking between records created because of changes in media and carrier types:

▫Print ceases and is continued online▫CD‐ROM serial ceases and is continued

online

Relationships in note fields

•550 (issuing body) - use to justify 7XX

•580 (linking entry complexity note) - use to express complex note in conjunction with 7XX

Subject headings

•Not in RDA specifically

•Same practices as before:▫$v Periodicals▫$v Congresses▫$v Comic books, strips, etc.

Working with Copy

"The first step in cataloging a serial is praying that someone else has cataloged it."

Ed Jones, RDA and Serials Cataloging, p. 45

OCLC guidelines•OCLC policy statement on RDA cataloging

in WorldCat: http://www.oclc.org/en-US/rda/new-policy.html

•AACR2 records may be converted to RDA•Never convert an RDA record to an

AACR2 record•Okay to add some RDA elements to

AACR2 records78

Avoid record wars

•Do NOT create a duplicate record using a different cataloging code if a record already exists

•Don’t remove valid AACR2/RDA elements when enhancing records (rather than re-describing)

•If it’s not wrong, leave it alone.

When to upgrade to RDA

• CONSER guidelines (Word doc) http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/documents/WorkingWithExistingRecords.doc

• Re-describe using RDA if the resulting description is uninterpretable, if the serial cannot otherwise be distinguished from another serial

• Need to base description on either issue cited in DBO or an earlier issue

When to not upgrade to RDA

•If you don’t have the piece in hand

•It is your judgment on whether to upgrade a non-RDA record to RDA

•You must re-describe if updating a non-RDA record to RDA

Hybrid Records

•Allows for adding new MARC fields to non-RDA records

•Adding relator terms to access points•Spelling out of non-transcribed

abbreviations•Adding complete statement of

responsibility (with item in hand)

Hybrid Records -Adding 33X fields

•Leave correct GMD if already in record (for non-RDA records)

•GMD never allowed in RDA records

•OCLC will no longer accept GMD in ANY records after 3/31/2016

Hybrid Records – 260 vs. 264

•New records use only the 264

•For pre-RDA records, prefer to leave 260 fields and add 264 fields as needed▫Change a 260 to a 264 only when have

enough information to provide a full history

When do I need a new record?

•RDA 21.2C – a change in the mode of issuance and/or media type

•Major change in title proper•Change in statement of responsibility

affecting serial identification•Change in the edition statement that

indicates a change in either scope or coverage

New record needed when

•Mode of issuance changes▫Serial becomes an integrating resource▫Serial becomes a multipart monograph

•Mode of media type changes▫Print serial to online

Major and minor changes in titles•RDA 2.3.2.13

•CCM Module 16 http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/word/Module16.doc

•Only compare against the title proper/245 not variant titles

•If a minor change, add your title as a variant/246

Major title changes

•Addition, deletion, change, or reordering of first 5 words UNLESS meets criteria of a minor change

•Addition, deletion, or change of any word AFTER the first 5 words that indicates a change in scope or subject matter

•Name change of the corporate body used in a title

Major changes examples
