Conference Heading - Questions and Answers

RESOURCE DESCRIPTION & ACCESS RDA

Case: In a book the name of seminar in introduction is given as national conference titled “Theorizing India’s Pre-Modern Visual Culture: Issues of Class, Caste, Gender and Sexualities” held at the Department of Art, History, and Aesthetics, M.S. University on February 13-15, 2003

Question: In cases like this what should be authorized access  for seminar? 

National Conference: “Theorizing India’s Pre-Modern Visual Culture: Issues of Class, Caste, Gender and Sexualities” (2003 : Department of Art, History, and Aesthetics, M.S. University)

  or

“Theorizing India’s Pre-Modern Visual Culture: Issues of Class, Caste, Gender and Sexualities” (Conference) (2003 : Department of Art, History, and Aesthetics, M.S. University)

Answer: Suggested treatment is given below:

1112_ |a "Theorizing India’s Pre-modern Visual Culture : Issues of Class, Caste, Gender and Sexualities" (Conference) |d (2003 : |c Department of Art, History, and Aesthetics, M.S. University)

Note: The first determination should be if the conference is "named" or not, applying RDA 8.1.2 and 8.1.3. If yes, then "Theorizing Indias Pre-Modern Visual Culture: Issues of Class, Caste, Gender and Sexualities" (Conference) (2003 : Department of Art, History, and Aesthetics, M.S. University) would be appropriate.

If no, then "Theorizing Indias Pre-Modern Visual Culture: Issues of Class, Caste, Gender and Sexualities" would just be the theme of the conference.

775 - Other Edition Entry (R)

FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Entry for another available edition of the target item (horizontal relationship). When a note is generated from this field, the introductory phrase Other editions available: may be generated based on the field tag for display.
The following types of editions are recorded in this field:
  • Language editions. When a serial is issued simultaneously in more than one language (usually by the same publisher, as opposed to a translation that is usually issued by another publisher).
  • Regular-print reprints. When the serial being cataloged is a regular-print reprint, field 775 is used for the original entry.
  • Other editions. Other editions of the target item. These will generally bear the same title as the target item but have edition information that distinguishes them.

RDA Background

RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. Built on the foundations established by AACR2, RDA provides a comprehensive set of guidelines and instructions on resource description and access covering all types of content and media. Benefits of RDA include:
  • A structure based on the conceptual models of FRBR (functional requirements for bibliographic data) and FRAD (functional requirements for authority data) to help catalog users find the information they need more easily
  • A flexible framework for content description of digital resources that also serves the needs of libraries organizing traditional resources
  • A better fit with emerging database technologies, enabling institutions to introduce efficiencies in data capture and storage retrievals

Date of Publication Not Identified in a Single-Part Resource

For Date of Publication Not Identified in a Single-Part Resource RDA Rule 2.8.6.6 says that If the date of publication is not identified in a single-part resource, supply the date or approximate date of publication.

EXAMPLE

[1998?]

If an approximate date of publication for a single-part resource cannot reasonably be determined, record date of publication not identified. Indicate that the information was taken from a source outside the resource itself.

Incomplete Resource

RDA Rule 3.4.1.10 for Incomplete Resource record the term indicating the type of unit without the number. This has to be applied also for a resource when the total number of units issued is unknown.

300 $a volumes
300 $a volumes (loose-leaf)

LC-PCC PS for 3.4.1.10 - INCOMPLETE RESOURCE


Incomplete Multipart Monographs

LC practice: Do not give LC’s local holdings for incomplete multipart monographs in MARC field 300; ensure that there are item records for each part or unit.
PCC practice: Do not give local holdings for multipart monographs in MARC field 300.

Updating Loose-leafs

LC practice/PCC practice: If the updating loose-leaf includes transfer volumes, describe the extent in terms of "loose-leaf" and "transfer."

EXAMPLE
300 ## $a volumes (loose-leaf), volume (transfer)

BEST PRACTICES

372 - May I suggest that372 field be changed to: Women's studies instead of Women's right). Term should represent a discipline not an occupation.

374 - I also would like to suggest using the term Researcher instead of Project fellow. Term should represent an occupation/profession

Query for more than three authors [Answer from Library of Congress]

RESOURCE DESCRIPTION & ACCESS RDA

From: salman haider <salman.mlisc@gmail.com>
Date: Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 3:19 AM
Subject: Query for more than three authors
To: LChelp4rda@loc.gov


Following is taken from LC RDA training materials: (Statement of Responsibility)


1.  AACR2 - no more than three named in a single statement

100 1#  $a Skaarup, Jørgen.
245 10 $a Møllegabet II : $b a submerged Mesolithic settlement in southern Denmark / $c Jørgen Skaarup, Ole Grøn ; with contributions by Sarah Mason ... [et al.].

1.  RDA - no limit on number of persons, families, corporate bodies included
100 1# $a Skaarup, Jørgen.
245 10  $a Møllegabet II : $b a submerged Mesolithic settlement in southern Denmark / $c Jørgen Skaarup, Ole Grøn ; with contributions by Sarah Mason, Lisa Hodgetts, Peter Rowley-Conwy and Annica Cardell.


Comments:

#1.  If cataloger applies the alternative (RDA 2.4.1.5) for more than three entities performing the same function, only the first-named entity is given and a summary is included to explain the omission (“[et al.]” is not used):

#2.  Only the principal or first-named creator (in the MARC 100 field) is a core element; it would be library policy or cataloger’s judgment to include additional creators in 7XX fields

QUESTION ON COMMENT 2: What is the RDA Rule and/or LC-PCC PS which prescribes the principal or first-named creator (in the MARC 100 field) and not in 700

Dear Salman Haider,
The Library of Congress applies RDA instruction 19.2.1 Basic instructions on recording creators.  RDA is format agnostic and does not provide instructions as to where in the MARC 21 bibliographic record to record anything.  Thus it is necessary to access the the mapping in Appendix D (specifically D.2.1 in this case) to determine which of the MARC fields to use.  Apologies for the delay in responding.
