RDA update November 2010
by Chris Todd 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Dear Cataloguers, There has been a flurry of news and activity around RDA recently and here is a summary for you. This will also be posted on the DescribeNZ wiki. 1. Implementation timeline The implementation timeline for RDA has been extended as a result of the US National Libraries test process. The report of the test will be released late in June 2011. LC will be announcing their implementation decision in late June 2011 and the other partner libraries in the RDA development (National Library of Australia, the British Library and Libraries and Archives Canada) will announce their decisions sometime between July and September 2011. This means that widespread implementation is unlikely until around the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2012. 2. NLNZ and RDA As a result of the extension of this timeline the NLNZ cataloguers will be changing our approach to RDA. We will take a break from our examination of RDA core elements and creation of practice records during December and January. We will be picking up the work on core elements some time in February and will continue to monitor reports and news about RDA. 3. Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) - The 2010 ACOC seminar was held in Canberra on October 21st and the presentations are now available on the ACOC website at http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/papers2010.html - ACOC RDA page. The ACOC website also includes an updated page on RDA with a good range of resources to look at. http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/rda.html 4. IAML New Zealand seminar The International Association of Music Librarians New Zealand seminar was held in Auckland on November 4-5. Charlotte Stretton and Chris Todd developed a presentation giving an overview of RDA and some of its impact on music cataloguing. The slides for this presentation will be available shortly on the RDA page of the DescribeNZ wiki http://www.describe.org.nz/ 5. RDA Webinars The most recent webinar was held on November 10th: RDA Toolkit - what's new since August http://www.rdatoolkit.org/Webinar/2010Nov (10th November) Full recording available via the website link.

RDA authority records
by Judith Keats 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Dear colleagues, The following announcement has been posted to Describe NZ, the wiki for New Zealand cataloguers and metadata professionals at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/32141727/RDA-Authorities-page We are now seeing RDA test authority records on our databases. These are being created as part of the RDA test for headings which are used in bibliographic records created following RDA guidelines and Library of Congress policy statements. The RDA test is being undertaken by a relatively small number of agencies (less than 30) and it was decided that the test would not be a proper one if it was not conducted in a live database and the set of records were not fully RDA. The RDA authority records have RDA in the 040 field to show that they are part of the test. They may also contain some of the new MARC fields but they do not otherwise indicate that they are RDA test authority records. You may notice that some AACR2 authority records have a 7XX field with 4 in the second indicator showing the RDA form of the name heading. Some RDA headings are the same as the AACR2 one but others are not. For an example of an RDA heading which is different, see the AACR2 authority record for King, M.G. (National Union Catalogue authority number 1065571), which includes a 700 1 4 for King, M.G. (Michael G.). This RDA heading has been created following RDA and the LC policy statement 9.19.1.4. which states that the LC practice for the optional addition is to add a fuller form of name even if it is not needed to distinguish between access points. You may also find that a new RDA authority record for a name/title heading will use the RDA form of the name heading in that authority record. For example, there is now an RDA name/title authority record for Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D. Correspondence (National Union Catalogue authority number 8463612). The existing AACR2 form of name heading is Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, ca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D. ((National Union Catalogue authority number 286941). In the case of corporate body name headings, there may be a new RDA authority for a subordinate body and the RDA form of the parent body name heading is different from the AACR2 form of heading. For example, an RDA authority record has been created for North Dakota. Department of Human Services. Rehabilitation Consulting & Services (National Union Catalogue authority number 8457632). The AACR2 form of heading for the parent body is North Dakota. Dept. of Human Services (National Union Catalogue authority number 989962). The National Library of New Zealand is not part of the RDA test and has not as yet used any of these new RDA authorised headings in bibliographic records. However we have decided that we will follow all NACO authority records whether they have been created following AACR2 or RDA on the grounds that this seems to be the option that creates the least confusion for library users. By taking this decision, we are remaining consistent in our use of authority records for headings in bibliographic records.
