Question. Is there any rule in RDA for the sequence of “notes” in a MARC bibliographic record? Answer: There is no prescribed order on recording notes.   Background information: RDA Appendix D 1.1 shows the ISBD arrangement of notes based on areas of the record as in AACRR2.   Instructions from CONSER Editing Guide : Notes in records for continuing resources fall into two categories: 1)    Notes input in the 5XX note fields, and; 2)    Notes generated on output from other fields in the record (e.g., 246, 310, etc.). The 5XX fields contain general notes (field 500) and specific notes (fields 525, 550, 588, etc.) that cannot be generated from another field. Other fields that may generate notes are: 022, 037, 074, 086, 222, 246, 310, 321, 362 (indicator value "1"), 760-787. These fields generally have display constants that identify the specific type of information supplied in the note. 246 11 Denki Gakkai ronbunshi May disp

The Library of Congress is pleased to report that we have reached two important milestones with respect to our Bibliographic Framework Initiative: the introduction of a draft data model for web-based bibliographic description and a first meeting of a small group of early experimenters currently exploring the feasibility of the proposed model.  The new model is simply called BIBFRAME, short for Bibliographic Framework. The model document is a high-level view of the BIBFRAME model - a primer.  Although the model is a draft and expected to change, we want to share it now with the community not only so that you are informed of progress being made but also to engender conversation and constructive feedback.   The URL for the document  Bibliographic Framework as a Web of Data: Linked Data Model and Supporting Service s is:  http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/pdf/marcld-report-11-21-2012.pdf (Source: Library of Congress Website)

LC-PCC PS for 1.7.1 General Guidelines on Transcription>>Access Points for Corporate Names, Including Meetings, in Name Authority and Bibliographic Records ( LC practice/PCC practice): 1. Quotation marks. If the form of name in the access point includes quotation marks around an element or elements of the name, retain them. Use double quotation marks in the access point instead of other forms of quotation marks. 2. Initials. If the form of name in the access point consists of or contains initials, regularize the spacing and put one space after an initial that is followed by a word or other element that is not an initial and no space after an initial that is followed by another initial consisting of one letter.

The need of making undifferentiated name authority record is less as compared to AACR2. Following rule helps in this regard: Section 3: Recording Attributes of Person, Family, & Corporate Body>> Chapte 9: Identifying Persons>> 9.19: Constructing Access Points to Represent Persons>> 9.19.1 Authorized Access Points Representing a Person>> 9 .19.1.6 Profession or Occupation • 9.19.1.6 (9.16): Profession or occupation    –Required for certain names; Can add to differentiate       –LC policy: cataloger judgment choice to distinguish one person from another with the same name      e.g. 100 1 $a Haider, Salman $c (Librarian) [Source: Based on information from Library of Congress and RDA Toolkit]

<<<<<---------->>>>> RDA Blog  :  RDA Blog  is a blog on  Resource Description and Access  ( RDA ), a new  library cataloging  standard that provides instructions and guidelines on formulating data for resource description and discovery, organized based on the  Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records  ( FRBR ), intended for use by libraries and other cultural organizations replacing  Anglo-American Cataloging Rules  ( AACR2 ). This blog lists description and links to resources on  Resource Description & Access (RDA) . It is an attempt to bring together at one place all the useful and important information, rules, references, news, and links on  Resource Description and Access ,  FRBR ,  FRAD ,  FRSAD ,  MARC standards ,  AACR2 ,  BIBFRAME , and other items related to current developments and trends in  library cataloging  practice. RDA Blog  History:   RDA Blog  was created by  Salman Haider , a Cataloging & Metadata Librari

I n January 2012 the Library of Congress announced that it would transition from AACR2 ( Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules , second edition) to RDA ( Resource Description and Access ) on March 31, 2013. AACR2 is currently available via LC’s web-based cataloging documentation subscription service, Cataloger’s Desktop , as well as through RDA Toolkit . In keeping with LC’s decision to switch from AACR2 to RDA, Cataloger’s Desktop will simultaneously change how access to AACR2 is provided. On April 1, 2013, if you subscribe to both Cataloger’s Desktop and RDA Toolkit (which includes an online version of AACR2), you will continue to have access to AACR2. If you subscribe to Cataloger’s Desktop but not to RDA Toolkit and want online access to AACR2, you will need to establish an RDA Toolkit subscription at http://www.rdatoolkit.org/ To ease the impact of the transition, current Cataloger’s Desktop subscribers will get an additional month for FREE upon subscription renewal.

LC-PCC PS: When creating an authority record for the collective conference, do not add the numbers/and/or dates to the authorized access point and variants if you are providing variants <<<<<---------->>>>> RDA Blog  :  RDA Blog  is a blog on  Resource Description and Access  ( RDA ), a new  library cataloging  standard that provides instructions and guidel
