MAJOR RDA/AACR2 CHANGES
J. McRee (Mac) Elrod 5 September 2010
[Local SLC practice in brackets]
Most changes are to choice of entry, or to description, not form of
entry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The few changes to form of entry:
100/600/700 RDA change: More frequent use of |c identifier such as
occupation to create unique heading.
100/110/700/710 RDA change: addition of |e relators, e.g., |eauthor.
(This affects bibliographic records, not authorities.)
The following alphabetical list of terms is drawn from RDA Appendix
I.1, I.2. and selected single word terms from I.3, I.4. The phrases
in I.3 and I.4 are too long for practical use. All relators have been
reduced to a single word for assigning.
Assign |e terms from this list. To follow RDA strictly, ignore terms
in square brackets. For patron friendly displays, use shorter terms
as indicated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
110 RDA change: Spell our "Dept." Remove |k uniform title for treaty
entries.
111 RDA change: Give full name of conference as on item, e.g.,
"Annual ..."
130 RDA change: "|pO.T." and "|pN.T." removed from between "Bible"
and |p name of the individual books. For the whole Old and New
Testaments, spelled out. "Qur'an" replaces "koran".
For 240 see Descriptive changes ...
700 |a|t, 730 and 740 analytics
RDA adds |icontains (work), or |icontains (expression) before |a. This
may confuse patrons, and create split files; consider not assigning and
supression in display.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in choice of entry:
100 RDA change: entry under first author, regardless of number. Cf.
245|c.
110 RDA change: Treaties are entered under the first country
mentioned, regardless of number or alphabetical order; or in the case
of a treaty between one country and a group of countries, under
the one country.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Descriptive changes are more numerous:
040|beng or |bfre; RDA change: 040|erda.
(LAC already uses 040|b language of cataloguing).
240 Uniform title after 1XX
RDA changes are so slight, that filing would be adversely affected
only for prolific authors in large collections.
RDA change: Under AACR2 (25.9) one uses "Selections" as collective
title for three or more various works by someone; under RDA one uses
"Works. This comes into play with *two* or more v chanarious works.
The order of the pieces for the uniform title "Short stories. Spanish.
Selections" is explicitly described in AACR2 (25.11). In RDA there
seems to bo no similar explicit instruction. it might be "Short
stories. Selections. Spanish". Under RDA, only one language is
allowed in the |l of a uniform title--no dual languages with
ampersand, no "Polyglot" for three or more languages.
2XX
RDA change: Use square brackets only for information not found in the
item, regardless of source within the item.
RDA change: "[sic]", or bracketed additional letters, no longer used
after typos. Create 246 with corrected title spellings.
RDA change: No longer add defining word to ambigous title, e.g.,
:|b[poems], :|b[proceedings{.
RDA change: Transcribe punctuation as found, e.g., "...", but add ISBD
punctuation.
245|h [gmd] RDA change: no longer ued. SEE 336-338 below.
245|c RDA change: transcribe all authors, regardless of number. In
the case of a compilation with supplied title, transcribe statements
of responsibilities after titles in 505. Transcribe degrees, titles,
"Jr.", "Rev.", "the late", etc.; but not "Dame" nor "Sir".
RDA change: A noun phrase associated with the author is included in
|c, e.g., Characters from Dickens /|cdramatized and adapted by Barry
Campbell.
Abandonment of the Rule Of Three removes the need for "[et al.]" or
"[and others]".
250 RDA change: transcribe rather than abbreviate, e.g., 250 |aSecond
edition. Only use abbreviations if in the item. [do not accept ISBD/
RDA double period after an abbreviation.]
260 RDA change: Transcribe all places of publication in repeating |a;
transcribe full names of publishers. RDA moves needed jurisdiction
to 500, as apposed to bracketed in 260|a.
Bracket adjacent element in the same field, e.g., 260 |a[S.l.
:|b[s.n.],|c[2010?].
Fuller use of 250|e(|f|g) for manufacturing place, body, and date may
be seen in RDA records. This practice is not new to SLC.
RDA change: In the absense of a publication year, do not substitute
copyright year; instread of |cc2010, use |c[2010], c2010.* In the
absense of date of publication, and date of distribution or manufactuer is
known, use that date following |c, manufactoring date in |g. Name of
manufactuer need not be given if publisher is known, but not doing so
creates a strange display.
*RDA directs that the copyright sign be used rather than "c". If the
copyright sign is not in the cataloguing module, a macro may be created,
or in Windows press Alt and type 0169 on your number pad.
