Learning Objectives for Module 2 -- Describing
Carriers and Identifying Works

• Describing Carriers
• Other Elements of Manifestations and Items
• Introduction to Works
• Elements for Works

6
Unit 1 Describing Carriers

• RDA Chapter 3
• Will not discuss specific elements for resources
  of special formats (films, maps, scores, etc.)
• Examples available in RDA, in MARC documentation,
  and in LC compilation of examples

7
Replacement for GMD - 245 h

• Three new MARC fields - developed with ONIX
  publishing community
• Content type -- RDA 6.9 -- MARC 336 field
• Media type -- RDA 3.2 -- MARC 337 field
• Carrier type -- RDA 3.3 -- MARC 338 field

8
MARC for Content, Media, Carrier

• In each of the three fields for these elements
  (336-338)
• a term
• b code
• 2 rdacontent or rdamedia or rdacarrier
  as appropriate
• 3 materials specified - give if appropriate

9
Controlled Vocabularies for Content, Media,
Carrier Types

• Closed lists in RDA 6.9.1.3, 3.2.1.3, 3.3.1.3
• If more than one term appropriate, two choices
• Give all repeat field
• Pick the term representing the predominant or
  most substantial content, media, carrier
• If the information is unknown, record
  unspecified
• If no term is appropriate, record other and
  notify LC via a message to LChelp4rda_at_loc.gov

10
Content Type

• CORE ELEMENT
• RDA 6.9
• the fundamental form of communication in
  which the content is expressed and the human
  sense through which it is intended to be
  perceived
• Terms from Table 6.1
• Instead of recording all, you may record the
  content type that applies to the predominant or
  most substantial parts of the resource
• MARC 336 field
• Examples performed music
• still image
• text

11
Media Type

• LC CORE ELEMENT
• RDA 3.2
• the general type of intermediation device
  required to view, play, run, etc., the content of
  a resource
• Terms from Table 3.1
• Instead of recording all, may record the media
  type that applies to the predominant or most
  substantial parts of the resource
• MARC 337 field
• Examples audio
• computer
• microform
• unmediated

12
Carrier Type

• CORE ELEMENT
• RDA 3.3
• the format of the storage medium and housing
  of a carrier in combination with the type of
  intermediation device required
• Terms listed in 3.3.1.3
• Instead of recording all, may record the carrier
  type that applies to the predominant or most
  substantial parts of the resource
• MARC 338 field
• Examples audio disc
• computer disc
• microfiche
• volume
• videodisc

13
ExampleMARC 336-338 Fields
Book 336 a text 2 rdacontent 337 a
unmediated 2 rdamedia 338 a volume 2

14
Voyager Templates MARC 336 - 338 Fields
15
Extent

• LC CORE ELEMENT
• RDA 3.4
• The number and type of units and/or subunits
  making up a resource
• Unit a physical or logical constituent of a
  resource (e.g., a volume)
• Subunit a physical or logical subdivision of a
  unit (e.g., a page of a volume)
• MARC 300 a

16
Recording Extent

• Give if the resource is complete or if the total
  extent is known
• RDA 3.4.1.3
• Give number of units and appropriate term
• Sometimes a term from carrier type list (RDA
  3.3.1.3)
• Another term to designate the type of unit (RDA
  3.4.1.5) if term not in list, or prefer a term in
  common use
• Several categories covered by exceptions (e.g.,
  text, still images, notated music, cartographic
  resources)

17
Extent of Text

• Single Volume with Numbered Pages, Leaves, or
  Columns (3.4.5.2)
• Single Volume with Unnumbered Pages, Leaves, or
  Columns (3.4.5.3)
• RDA lists three options
• LCPS 3.4.5.3 continues AACR2 practice
• For LC original cataloging, usually follow method
  c) 1 volume (unpaged)
• Complicated or Irregular Paging (3.4.5.8)
• RDA lists three options
• LCPS 3.4.5.3 continues AACR2 practice
• For LC original cataloging, usually follow method
  c) 1 volume (various pagings)

18
Changes From AACR2Related to Extent

• Do not use abbreviations for terms (e.g.,
  pages, volumes, not p., v.)
• Use approximately (rather than ca.) and that
  is (rather than i.e.)
• Use unnumbered, rather than square brackets
  enclosing the numeral
• Be aware of changes in vocabulary from AACR2,
  e.g. computer disc is used for both computer
  disk and computer optical disc

19
Dimensions

• LC CORE for resources other than serials and
  online electronic resources
• RDA 3.5
• Measurements of the carrier or carriers and/or
  the container of a resource
• Rounded up to next whole centimeter
• cm and mm are symbols, not abbreviations
• use ISBD full stop after symbol only if a 490
  field appears in the record
• MARC 300 c

20
LC Practices Dimensions

• LC practice for Alternative
• Use inches for discs (RDA 3.5.1.4.4) and for all
  audio carriers otherwise, follow the RDA
  instruction as written
• LC Practice for serials
• Note that dimensions is not a Core Element for
  serials and online resources.
• But you may record it if you wish

32
Restrictions on Access

• RDA 4.4
• Record all restrictions on access to the
  resource, including the nature and duration of
  the restriction, as specifically as possible. The
  absence of restrictions may also be noted if it
  is considered to be important
• Example

Access restricted to subscribers via a username
and password or IP address authentication
33
Restrictions on Use

• RDA 4.5
• LCPS The CORE requirement is limited to the
  non-General Collections at the Library of
  Congress
• MARC 540 field

34
Uniform Resource Locator

• LC CORE ELEMENT
• RDA 4.6
• Address of the remote access resource being
  cataloged
• LCPS 4.2.1.3 - If there is more than one Uniform
  Resource Locator for the resource, record all
• MARC 856 field

35
Uniform Resource Locator

• Changes Requiring the Addition, Revision, or
  Deletion of a Uniform Resource Locator
• LCPS 4.6.1.4 provides LC practice for two
  situations

Unit 4 Introduction to Works

• Where are the Instructions?
• Naming the Work
• LC Decisions on
• Bibliographic or Authority?
• Core Elements to Distinguish
• Language and Script
• Terminology
• Sources
• Authorized Access Points for Works

42
Where are the Instructions?

• Generally, the instructions for identifying works
  and expressions are in chapter 6.
• You will also need to consult the related
  instructions in
• Chapter 19, Persons, Families, and Corporate
  Bodies Associated with a Work
• Chapter 20, Persons, Families, and Corporate
  Bodies Associated with an Expression

43
Naming the Work

• Just like naming persons and corporate bodies
  (and now, families)
• Similar to AACR2 concept of main entry
• MARC has four possibilities for where this
  information can be coded
• 1XX 240
• 1XX 245
• 130
• 245

44
LC Decisions on Bibliographic or Authority Data?

• RDA does not prescribe if attributes about the
  work and the access points are to be recorded as
  bibliographic data or authority data
• LC Policy
• Always identify the work by giving the access
  point in the bibliographic record
• Sometimes identify the work by making a title or
  name/title authority record -- no changes from
  policy in DCM Z1

45
LC Decisions on Core Elements to Distinguish

• If elements are being recorded to distinguish one
  work from another or from the name of a person,
  family, or corporate body, RDA gives choices for
  recording the elements (RDA 0.6.3)
• LC policy
• always give as additions to the authorized access
  point
• cataloger judgment to also give as separate
  elements in authority records

46
LC Decisions on Language and Script

• Title for a work in the language and script in
  which it appears in the resource (RDA 5.4)
• U.S. in authorized and variant access points
  apply the alternative to give a romanized form
• For some languages (see LCPS 5.4), can also give
  variant access points (MARC 4XX) in original
  language/script in authority records

47
Terminology Related to Works

• Title of the work (RDA 6.2.1.1)
• word, character, or group of words and/or
  characters by which a work is known
• Preferred title for the work (RDA 6.2.2.1)
• the form of title used when constructing the
  authorized access point
• Variant title for the work (RDA 6.2.3.1)
• the form of title used when constructing a
  variant access point
• aka see references

48
Sources of Information Sources for Preferred
Titles (6.2.2.2)

• Commonly-known title
• For a work created after 1500
• From resources embodying the work or from
  reference sources
• Sometimes title proper of the first
  manifestation received
• For a work created before 1501
• From modern reference sources
• If this evidence is inconclusive, use (in this
  order)
• a) modern editions
• b) early editions
• c) manuscript copies

49
Sources of Information Sources for Other
Elements (6.1.1)

• For all other identifying attributes of works and
  expressions
• Take the information from any source

50
Authorized Access Points for Works (6.27.1.1 -
6.27.1.8)

• How to put together the elements to construct an
  authorized access point
• Preferred title is the basis
• Authorized access point for the creator precedes
  the preferred title, as applicable
• Additions to the preferred title as instructed
  under 6.27.1.9
• Links back to the instructions on recording each
  of the specific elements

51
Unit 5 Elements for Works

• Entities Responsible for a Work
• Preferred Title for the Work
• Compilations vs. Collaborations
• Additions to Access Points for Works
• Variant Access Points for Works
• MARC Authority Fields for Works

52
Entities Responsible for a Work

• RDA 0.6.3
• when creating the authorized access point for
  the work, precede the preferred title for the
  work, if appropriate, by the authorized access
  point representing the person, family, or
  corporate body responsible for the intellectual
  or artistic content of the work

53
Entities Responsible for a Work Where are the
Instructions?

• Creator is a relationship to a work it isnt an
  attribute of the work.
• So we will find the instructions about creators
  in Chapter 19, not Chapter 6.

• contributors are responsible for an expression
• discussed in Chapter 20 (and covered in Module
  3)

54
Entities Responsible for a Work Sources

• Preferred sources of information
• Other statements appearing prominently in the
  resource
• Use cataloger judgment
• Information appearing only in the content
• Other sources

55
Creator (19.2)

• CORE ELEMENT
• person, family, or corporate body responsible
  for the creation of a work
• If more than one entity is responsible for the
  work as a whole
• The creator having principal responsibility named
  first in the resource is required
• If principal responsibility is not indicated,
  only the first-named creator is required
• LCPS 19.2 says to use cataloger judgment in
  deciding whether to provide authorized access
  points for additional creators, beyond the core

56
What About Contributors?

• contributing to the realization of a work
  through an expression
• Editors, translators, illustrators, arrangers of
  music, performers, writers of commentary, and
  others
• Covered in next module on Expressions

57
Creator Changes from AACR2

• No rule of three to identify the work only by
  its preferred title when there are more than
  three creators
• Performer of works by different composers
  presented in a sound recording is not
  automatically considered a creator

58
Compilers and Modifiers as Creators(19.2.1.1)

• An entity responsible for compiling an aggregate
  work may be considered a creator of the
  compilation if the selection, arrangement,
  editing, etc., of content for the compilation
  effectively results in the creation of a new
  work
• An entity responsible for modifying a previously
  existing work in a way that substantially changes
  the nature or content of the original is
  considered a creator of the new work.

59
Corporate Bodies as Creators

• Categories of works (RDA 19.2.1.1.1)
• Similar to AACR2 21.1B2
• Corporate body takes precedence over a
  first-named person or family as creator
• LCPS, similar to RI for 21.21B2
• RDA 19.2.1.1.2 on government and religious
  officials as creators

60
Preferred Title for the Work

• CORE ELEMENT
• General instructions
• Specific instructions

61
General Instructions onRecording Titles (6.2.1)

• Scope by which a work is known
• Sources from any source
• Capitalization
• Numbers
• Diacritics
• Articles
• Spacing
• Abbreviations

62
Instructions on RecordingPreferred Titles (6.2.2)

• Scope and sources
• 6.2.2.1 6.2.2.2
• Choosing preferred titles
• 6.2.2.3 6.2.2.7
• Recording preferred titles
• 6.2.2.8 6.2.2.10

63
Preferred Title for the Work Specific Categories

• some musical works (6.14.2)
• some legal works (6.19.2)
• some religious works (6.23.2)
• some official communications (6.26.2)

64
Preferred Title Parts of a Work (6.2.2.9)

• Other than musical or religious works
• RDA makes a distinction depending on the number
  of parts
• one (6.2.2.9.1)
• two or more (6.2.2.9.2)

65
Parts of a Work One Part (6.2.2.9.1)

• Record the preferred title for the part,
  applying the basic instructions on recording
  titles of works given under 6.2.1.
• Preferred title for a part of J.R.R. Tolkiens
  The lord of the rings
• Two towers
• Preferred title for a part of the television
  program The Simpsons
• A streetcar named Marge

66
Parts of a Work Two or More Parts (6.2.2.9.2)

• Consecutively numbered, with only a general
  designation
• Record the designation of the parts followed
  by the inclusive numbers of the parts
• e.g., preferred title for the first six books of
  Homers Iliad Book 16
• Two or more unnumbered or non-consecutively
  numbered parts
• Record the preferred title for each of the
  parts
• e.g., preferred title for a part of Divina
  commedia in a compilation also comprising the
  part Paradiso Purgatorio
• But see next slide.

67
Two or More PartsLC Policy for the Alternative

• LC practice (LCPS 6.2.2.9.2)
• Instead of recording the preferred title for
  each of the parts, record the conventional
  collective title Selections as the preferred
  title for the parts.
• e.g., preferred title for the parts of the work
  in a compilation comprising books 1 and 6 of
  Homers Iliad
• Selections

68
Authorized Access Point forPart(s) of a Work
(6.27.2)

• Generally
• preferred title for part(s)
• preceded by authorized access point for the
  creator, if appropriate

69
Authorized Access Point forPart(s) of a Work --
Exceptions

• Applies to
• non-distinctive titles
• serials and integrating resources
• television/radio programs
• consecutively-numbered parts
• Instruction
• preferred title for part(s)
• preceded by authorized access point for the work

70
Compilations and Collaborations

• Important distinction
• Determines how each is identified
• Compilations
• RDA 6.27.1.4
• Collaborations
• RDA 6.27.1.3

We will first discuss compilations
71
How to Decide?

• Clues that you have a compilation
• Indication of who created what
• From the preferred source, table of contents,
  preface, program notes, home page, other
  components in the resource
• Assume it is a collaboration if
• you have no indication who created what
• you are in doubt

72
Multiple Works by One Creator

• Must be treated as a compilation
• i.e., there are no collaborators
• Identified by
• Creator
• Preferred title

73
Preferred Title Compilations ofOne P - F - CB
(6.2.2.10)

• Has compilation become known by a title?
• Not usually
• But, e.g., Leaves of grass is an example of a
  compilation known by a title
• If not, use a conventional collective title
  (doesnt matter if title proper is distinctive)
• Complete works use Works
• Complete works in a single form use term chosen
  by cataloger
• Other compilations of two or more (but not all)
  works in same form or different forms add
  Selections to the conventional collective title

74
Preferred Title Compilations ofOne P - F - CB
(cont.)

• Major changes from AACR2!
• Under RDA, LC catalogers will no longer need to
• Determine if the creator created works only in a
  single form
• Determine if the title proper of the compilation
  is distinctive

75
Example Compilation of 2Works by the Same
Creator

• AACR2 use the 1st work as the preferred title
  (but this misidentifies the compilation)

100 1 a Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005 240 10 a
Archbishops ceiling 245 10 a Two plays / c
Arthur Miller. 505 0 a The Archbishops ceiling
-- The American clock. 700 12 a Miller,
Arthur, d 1915-2005. t American clock.
76
Example (cont.)2 Works by the Same Creator

• RDA apply the alternative to use a conventional
  collective title

100 1 a Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005 240 10
a Plays. k Selections 245 10 a Two plays / c
Arthur Miller. 505 0 a The Archbishops
ceiling -- The American clock. 700 12 a
Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005. t Archbishops
ceiling. 700 12 a Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005.
t American clock.
2nd 700 not a core requirement but helpful to
the user
77
Multiple Works by Multiple Creators --
Compilations vs. Collaborations

• Compilation
• Preferred title
• Without a creator, because there is no single
  creator of the individual works
• Collaboration
• Creator (principal or first-named)
• Preferred title

78
Preferred Title Compilationsof Works by
Different Creators

• Compilation of separate works
• Identify the compilation by its preferred title
  (6.27.1.4)
• Either
• Title by which the compilation has become known
  (uncommon), or
• The title proper of the manifestation
• e.g., Best of Broadway (for a set of five CDs
  with selections from original cast recordings of
  various musicals by various composers)
• But see next slide

79
What if Such a CompilationLacks a Collective
Title?

• RDA and LCPS 25.1
• How to treat
• For the preferred title, use the title proper of
  the first work in the compilation, and
• Provide an analytical authorized access point for
  the predominant or first work in the compilation,
  when it represents a substantial part of the
  resource.
• Generally, do not devise a title to use as a
  preferred title.
• LC does not apply the alternative to 6.27.1.4

A work that is part of a larger work is
considered a whole-part related work
80
Example Compilation of Works by Different
Creators (No Collective Title)

• AACR2 use the 1st work as the preferred title
  (but this misidentifies the compilation)

• 100 1 a Polk, Sharon.
• 240 10 a Community band concerts
• 10 a Community band concerts / c Sharon
  Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri Swanson.
• 12 a Swanson, Terri. t Fall harvest
• festivals.

81
Example (cont.) Compilation of Works by
Different Creators (No Collective Title)

• RDA use the title proper of the first work as
