Resource Description & Access (RDA)

Following RDA example shows how RDA differs from AACR2 in regards to  books with text in both the original language and its translation(s) . This book has both the original work (in Sanskrit) and its English translation. Under AACR2, it would have been easier to see that there's a translation as there would have been a 240 of: 240 10 ‡a Pūyamēhavijñāna. ‡l English & Sanskrit Under RDA, there is no longer a 240 for this situation. Rather, there are 2 700s: 700 12 ‡a Koṭīśvaraśāstrī, Vēmpaṭi. ‡t Pūyamēhavijñāna. [for the original in Sanskrit] 700 12 ‡a Koṭīśvaraśāstrī, Vēmpaṭi. ‡t Pūyamēhavijñāna. ‡l English.

Myth: “In the case of compilations of independent works, I must always record an analytical authorized access point for the predominant or first work, according to LC-PCC PS 25.1.” Reality: Not necessarily.  Related Work is “LC core” for compilations, but there are exceptions.  Be sure you understand when to include a Contents Note (505) and Analytical Access Point (7XX X2). <<<<<---------->>>>> Whole-part relationships for Compilations LC: Give MARC 505 contents note unless contents indicated in another part of the of the description (e.g., in MARC 245 $a because no collective title present) or unless burdensome              •i.e., There is no limit on the number of works in the contents note unless burdensome.  LC: Give one MARC 7XX analytical authorized access point for the predominant or first work when it represents a substantial part of the resource; cataloger judgment if...

QUESTION: This is in regards to 2011352604, which contains both the original text in Sanskrit and the Hindi translation. In AACR2, we would have had a 240 of Kalyāṇakāraka. $l Hindi & Sanskrit. In RDA, we would not have a 240. Instead, in theory, we would give 2 700s (as in the Mail Carrier example from the class materials): 700 02 ‡a Ugrādityācārya, ‡d 8th/9th century. ‡t Kalyāṇakāraka. 700 02 ‡a Ugrādityācārya, ‡d 8th/9th century. ‡t Kalyāṇakāraka. ‡l Hindi. However, in this case, the 1st 700 would really result in the same N/T string as the 100/245 combo. So is it still required? ANSWER: Yes, two 700 name/title analytics.   In some cases the preferred title may be the same as the 245 title proper, but in many other cases it won't be.  We just thought it would always be easier to say "make the analytics" than to say "sometimes you do, and sometimes you don’t".  So it may be redundant in some cases.
