Library Cataloging Research

RESEARCH ON LIBRARY DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGING

RDA Bibliography

Hello Dear Library Professionals: 

I have compiled a list of some Masters, M.Phil., and Ph.D. thesis and dissertation on descriptive cataloging which may be available in print and/or online, in the form of a blog post: RDA Bibliography – Thesis (from OCLC WorldCat). 

URL: https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/rda-bibliography-thesis/

It seems not much research work is done on descriptive cataloging, though it is one of the most fundamental activities of librarianship, library and information science. The other possibility is that researches have been done but not documented at some "single place" for consultation. With the emergence of Resource Description & Access (RDA), as the successor of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2), it becomes necessary to do quality research works on the descriptive cataloging using RDA and AACR2 and evaluating its significance and impact on librarianship and library services. It is required to determine what we achieved migrating from AACR2 to RDA, through conducting formal researches.

So please help update this bibliography with description of research works on Library Descriptive Cataloging. Suggest only those sources which are available in published form or available online and can be acquired and consulted for research purposes. 

Also please suggest the potential topics on which researches should be carried out in Library Descriptive Cataloging using RDA and AACR2 considering new changes and developments in the practice of Library Cataloging.

It will be very helpful for Librarians, LIS i-School Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) & Ph.D Students & Researchers who wish to carry out research on descriptive cataloging.

Please suggest your entries in the "form" available on the About RDA Bibliography page of RDA Bibliography.

RDA - Production Publication Distribution Manufacture Date - MARC 264

MARC field 264 (formerly known as the publication, distribution, field in AACR2) is the home for many different RDA elements.  MARC field 264 will replace field 260 so that each of the different types can be coded explicitly. We will talk about the following areas:

• Production statement (2.7)
• Publication statement (2.8)
• Distribution statement (2.9)
• Manufacture statement (2.10)
• Copyright date (2.11)

EDTF Date - 046 - RDA Cataloging Examples

RDA Cataloging Examples of use of Extended Date Time Format (EDTF) in MARC 21 field 046 for Special Coded Dates in Resource Description and Access (RDA) Name Authority Records 

DCM Z1 046 update in Cataloger's Desktop 2015 Issue 3 release

Cataloger's Desktop 2015 Issue 3 was released on August 11, 2015. This release includes an important update to DCM Z1 instruction sheet 046, Special Coded Dates. 

LC/NACO catalogers: please note that the formatting of dates in the 046 field has changed.

When supplying dates in field 046, use the Extended Date Time Format (EDTF) schema in all cases except for centuries; supply dates using the pattern yyyy, yyyy-mm, or yyyy-mm-dd; always add subfield $2 edtf except after a century. The more consistent use of $2 edtf is based on a PCCLIST discussion suggestion to simplify the use of $2 (always use except for centuries).

Examples:

046 ## $f 1884-10-11$g 1962-11-07 $2 edtf

046 ## $s -0199~ $2 edtf

046 ## $f 1946-06 $2 edtf

046 ## $f 1960 $2 edtf

But:

046 ## $s 20 

046 fields in existing name authority records will be reformatted to conform to the new DCM Z1 guidelines during the Phase 3B changes to the LC/NACO Authority File.

The examples in LC-PCC PS 9.3.1.3 (Recording Dates Associated with Persons) will be updated in the October 2015 RDA Toolkit update.

Source: Paul Frank, Acting Coordinator, NACO and SACO Programs, Cooperative Programs Section, Cooperative and Instructional Programs Division, Library of Congress.

Question by Robert Bratton, Cataloging Librarian, The George Washington University, Washington D.C.

Should we format all encoded dates in authority records the same way?

Example:

373  George Washington University. $2 naf ǂs 2006-07-01

Answer by Paul Frank

This formatting only applies to the 046 field of authority records, since subfield $2 in the 046 field can accommodate the EDTF source code. In other fields of authority records, subfield $2 applies to the term(s) in subfield $a (and subfield $b, $c, etc. in the case of the 370 field), but not to the date(s) in subfields $s or $t.

Source: Based on information from PCCLIST, Library of Congress, RDA Toolkit.

EDTF Date in MARC 21 Field 046 - RDA Cataloging Examples

046 $f 1947? $2 edtf

046 $f 19uu-02-15 $2 edtf

046 1902? = 046 _ _ $s 1902? $2 edtf 

046 Approximately 1902 = 046 _ _ $s 1902~ $2 edtf

046 Either 1901 and 1902 = 046 _ _ $s [1901,1902] $2 edtf

Comments by RDA Blog users / Experts / Catalogers:

• Aaron Kuperman, Law Cataloger, United States: RDA should be understood as being continually updated, as opposed to AACR and earlier codes which came out with new editions once a generation (if that often).

RDA LC-PCC PS Revision

RDA Toolkit Update, August 11, 2015 - Changes in Resource Description and Access (RDA) and Library of Congress - Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Statements (LC-PCC PS) and RDA Toolkit

TOPIC 1: Changes in RDA Content

TOPIC 2: Change in Content in LC-PCC PSs

TOPIC 3: Functional Changes in the RDA Toolkit

TOPIC 1: Changes in RDA Content : Fast Track changes

The PDF file mentioned in the URL below from RDA JSC site identifies the "Fast Track" changes to RDA that will be included in this release (6JSC-Sec-16.pdf); Fast Track changes are not added to the RDA Update History.  While you are encouraged to peruse the changes, there are no significant changes.

TOPIC 2: Change in Content in LC-PCC PSs

A summary of LC-PCC PS updates incorporated in this release is available at August 11, 2015 release of the RDA Toolkit.  Catalogers should review the following policy statements:

1.8.2, First Alternative:  revised to include an exception for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Perso-Arabic, Cyrillic, and Greek catalogers to substitute Western-style arabic numerals when numbers are found in non-Latin scripts.  For Hebrew script catalogers, also note changes to the options at 2.6.3.3 and similar instructions for adding Gregorian date when a date in the Hebrew script is being recorded.

1.8.2, Second Alternative: the LC practice for supplying equivalent numbers has been revised; LC catalogers may now supply such equivalents (e.g., a date in arabic numerals when roman numerals are on the resource) if considered important.

2.12.1.2, 2.12.9.2: At the request of the PCC Series Policy Task Group, the instructions for sources of series statements and series numbering have been revised with respect to information transcribed from “sources within the resource”.

6.27.1.9, 6.28.1.2, 6.28.1.10:  Information on authorized access points for librettos has been revised in consultation with the Music Library Association.

11.3.2.3, 11.13.1.8.1:  A new policy statement has been developed for those cases when it is not feasible to record *all* locations of a conference, etc. (more common for certain types of sporting events).  The statement allows for recording an applicable larger place (or places), or a single place primarily associated with the conference, etc., (e.g., a host city).

TOPIC 3: Functional Changes in the RDA Toolkit

There are no functional changes in the RDA Toolkit in this release.

The next planned release of the RDA Toolkit will be in October 2015.

• Fast Track entries included in the August 2015 update of the RDA Toolkit: http://www.rda-jsc.org/sites/all/files/6JSC-Sec-16.pdf
