A basic presentation on RDA and the changes from AACR2.

1. RDA
BASICS
How will RDA affect us?

2. Outline
 What is RDA
 Benefits
 Major Changes from AACR2 to RDA
 How will these changes affect us?
 Resources

3. What is RDA?
 Resource Description and Access
 Based on FRBR: Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records and FRAD: Functional
Requirements for Authority Data
 To be implemented March 31st, 2013

4. FRBR
 Group 1 entities: work, expression,
manifestation, item.
 User tasks: find, identify, select, obtain.
 What Problem does it solve?
I want Alice in Wonderland: The movie? The
book? A particular edition? What language?

5. FRBR
 Work: Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland
 Expression: Original English test
 Manifestation: 2006 Dial Books edition
 Item: MPL’s copy

6. Benefits
 Used in other data communities, such as
software and database communities, which
increases understanding and creativity in
product development.
 Adaptable: coded using XML which makes it
sharable throughout the web.
 Emphasizes relationships and linked data.
 Goal of an international standard.

7. However…
 These benefits will not be apparent until library
systems come up with creative ways to display
content and linked data.
 Right now, RDA is not fully realized in MARC
21 coding and ILS systems do not have a way
to utilize the new standard in a useful way.
 So really, not much is going to change at this
time.

8. Major Changes from AACR2
Identifying RDA Records
 In MARC 21 bibliographic records:
• 040 subfield $e with value rda
• Leader/18 (Descriptive Cataloging Form)
coded i if ISBD punctuation is included or #
(blank) if ISBD punctuation is not followed
or c if ISBD punctuation followed except that
ISBD punctuation is not present at the end of
a subfield. [Code a is used for AACR2 records].

23. Publication, Distribution, Etc.
 The 260 field will be found in older RDA
records (and AACR2), but it has been replaced
with the 264 field in newer records. It is
possible that both the 260 and 264 fields may
appear in the same record.
 The 264 field is repeatable and allows for
recording of production, publishing,
manufacture, and copyright information, while
the 260 field did not differentiate between
these functions.

24. Publication, Distribution, Etc.

36. What is going to change for us?
 Original cataloging will be done in RDA after
March 2013.
 Options for copy catalogers:
 Take the best record as you normally would
regardless of rules used.
 Make a few changes/corrections to non-RDA
records as detailed in handout.

37. Information from SirsiDynix
 3.4.1.SP2 released in mid-August.
 LinkedRDA updates in MARC.
 RDA Toolkit linking service.
 MARC tag help by right clicking on a field.
 3.4.1 SP3 released end of the year.
 Main client released 2/1/2013.
 There will be a script to update MARC tags.
 In the research stage of display options using
FRBR.

38. FAQ
 Since 3XX fields will not be displayed properly,
can we still use $h? – Yes, but don’t strip out
3XX fields.
 Most vendors are only thinking about ways to
fit RDA within the constraints of MARC 21.
 OCLC Policy is to use any full record that is
appropriate, regardless if it’s AACR2 or RDA.
 Don’t create a new record just to change the
cataloging rules.
