New work or new expression?
Relationships in the Organization of Knowledge, edited by Carol A. Bean and Rebecca Green, 2001, p. 23, “Bibliographic Relationships” by
Barbara B. Tillett, Figure 2, © 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers Boston.
FRBR: Group 2 entities & their
attributes (mainly for NACO)
• Person
o
Tolstoy, Leo – Graf – 1828-1910 – Russian – male – writer
of Anna Karenina etc.
• Corporate body
o
Heinemann – founded by William Heinemann – 1890 –
now owned by Pearson, Random House and Houghton
Mifflin – headquarters in London and Portsmouth N.H.
• Family
o
Williams – Philadelphia – prominent member, Benjamin,
b. 1774 – Quakers - spiritualists
FRBR: Group 3 entities & their
attributes
• Concept, object, event
o
not yet written – in principle would cover subject
cataloguing
• Place
o
grid reference – larger place – population – government
– famous inhabitants (mainly for NACO records)
FRBR: relationships
• Primary: the WEMI hierarchy - a work realised in an
expression, embodied in a manifestation, exemplified in
an item.
• Relationships between G1 entities in different
hierarchies: abridgement of, dramatisation of,
commentary on, contained in, supplement to, libretto
for, etc.
• Relationships between G2 and G1 entities: author of,
illustrator of, editor of, dedicatee of, publisher of, issuing
body of, etc.
• Relationships between G2 entities; relationships to G3
entities: not our problem.

FRBR: what difference will it make?
• Helps to explain history, vocabulary and structure of RDA
• Will be the foundation for future non-MARC systems where
each FRBR entity will have its own record and relationships
will be displayed more clearly. These may provide more
intuitive clustering in public-facing tools.
• Will not make much difference in MARC, but:
o access points in MARC records can have extra subfields
to hold relators
o a new edition is no longer automatically a new work –
unless it has substantial intellectual/ artistic changes or a
change to the team responsible for its intellectual/
artistic content, it is just a new expression; this means
that you would use 130 or 240 rather than 7XX to link to
an earlier edition with a different title.

Families
Publication and copyright dates
• Use one or more 264 fields instead of 260. Indicators show
(1st) order and (2nd) whether they contain publication,
production, distribution, manufacture or copyright data.
• Do not combine publication and copyright in the same 264.
• Always give a publication date, even if conjectured from
copyright date.
• Always give a copyright date if available, in a separate 264.
• Give multiple copyright dates only if they apply to different
types of material and the earlier date is for the most
important type.
• Use © instead of ‘c’ (‘copyright’ is also acceptable).
• If publication and copyright dates are different, 008/06=‘t’.
• Formats for dates have changed, e.g. instead of ’18--’ use
’[between 1800 and 1899]’.
Example

Content type, media type, carrier type
• Replace GMD
• Required even for books
• Usually supplied by templates
336 __ $atext$2rdacontent
337 __ $aunmediated$2rdamedia
338 __ $avolume$2rdacarrier
• Watch out for books with high image content; they
need also or instead:
336 __ $astill image$2rdacontent
• Other media, e.g. accompanying material, may need
other terms. Repeat these fields as necessary.
Colour
• Now a separate element
• But has to share 300 $b

Resource description
• Sources
PRINCIPLE OF REPRESENTATION
• Omissions
• Capitalisation
• Abbreviations
• Numbers
• Punctuation
• Approximations, corrections and clarifications
• Complex physical descriptions
Sources: main changes for books
• Square brackets are used only for information taken
from outside the resource itself.
• Dustjackets are now considered part of the resource.
• Title page verso is not a listed source, but will still
often be preferred as ‘a source where information is
formally presented’.
• Parallel titles may be taken from anywhere in the
resource.
• For more on preferred sources for multilingual
materials, see RDA/MARC21 Module 4.
Omissions
• Rule of 3 abandoned; normally include the whole statement of
responsibility and provide access points accordingly; but use
judgement.
• Titles, qualifications and terms of address (‘Mr.’, ‘Dr.’, ‘Rev.’, Ph.D,
S.J., etc.) are not omitted from statements of responsibility, but
you may optionally omit background information.
• Places and publishers are not tidied up very much.
o If the publication statement gives a larger place as well as a
town, include it, even if not needed for identification.
o Do not reduce the publisher’s name to the shortest
internationally recognisable form; retain ‘The’, ‘Press’, ‘plc’,
etc. and umbrella bodies.
• Only the first place of publication and first publisher are required;
no ‘first place in the home country of the cataloguing agency’.
Omitting background info
Capitalisation
• No change for OLIS.
• RDA allows titles, etc. to be entered with the
capitalisation of the resource or an inhouse system.
• If you download a record which has used one of
these options, leave it unless preposterous.
• Do not make a new record just because the
capitalisation on the resource is different from that in
the existing record.
Abbreviations and language
• In most cases RDA does not abbreviate words (or use Latin):
o
o
o
in 245: e.g. ‘[and six others]’, not ‘ ... [et al.]’.
in 300: ‘pages’ and ‘illustrations’ rather than ‘p.’ and ‘ill.’
in 264, ‘[Place of publication not identified]’, etc.
• In transcribed elements, any abbreviations found on the
resource are retained.
• The familiar abbreviations for U.S. states, Canadian provinces,
Australian territories and a few countries are still used in
qualifiers for smaller places, corporate bodies, etc. [RDA B.11].
• What RDA calls ‘metric symbols’ such as ‘cm’, ‘mm’ are not
considered as abbreviations, so are not followed by a full stop
[B.5.2] unless it is final punctuation.
• Roman alphabet abbreviations are still used in 300 fields for
Dimensions and Duration (ft., in., hr., min., sec.), in 8XX $v
captions and in a few specialist fields.
Numbers
• Numbers are usually transcribed as found, whether in words,
arabic numerals or roman numerals.
• Words are converted to arabic numerals in :
o Year of publication and copyright and year in which a
degree was granted
o Numbering within series or subseries
o Numbering of leaves or pages [3.4.5.2].
• Arabic numerals are still required in 8XX $v (because under
authority control) but not in 490.
• Most agencies have decided to copy roman numerals if found
in date, but OLIS policy is to copy them as found and add the
arabic form in square brackets, e.g. ‘MCMXXX [1930].
Punctuation
• RDA does not prescribe punctuation except within
access points, so examples in Toolkit will not help.
• We will continue to use familiar ISBD.
• There is a list of ISBD punctuation in Appendix D.
• LDR 18 should be coded ‘i’. This will generate ‘ISBD
punct. included’ in Aleph Full view – beware of
records without this coding.
• Do not replace ‘...’ in a title with ‘--’ or square
brackets with round ones.
• Generally transcribe as found, but you can add e.g.
commas for clarification.
Approximations, corrections,
clarifications
• Imprecise or unknown information is always expressed
in English words, not Latin abbreviations.
300 __ $aApproximately 700 pages
300 __ $a28 unnumbered pages
• RDA rarely allows cataloguers’ corrections or
clarifications in square brackets.
• Statements of responsibility, publishers’ names and
series statements are supplied in square brackets only if
found in a reliable external source.
• In most cases cataloguers’ corrections and clarifications
are provided as notes (5XX or 246).
Clarifications
• No clarifications as other title information:
e.g. NOT: 245 00 $aMadame Butterfly :$b[programme]
NOR: 245 10 $aThe life of Pi :$b[review].
• Make a 5XX note instead.
245 00 $aMadame Butterfly.
500 __ $aProgramme of opera performed at the Royal
Opera House on Thursday 13th November 1980.
• But you may clarify responsibilities in a statement of
responsibility:
245 04 $aThe complete book of human knowledge
/$c[compiled by] Mick Taker.
Corrections
• For mistakes in the 245 title:
o
o
provide the correction in field 246
include subfield $i, to provide a note as well as an access
point.
o
use 1st indicator ‘1’, so that the note displays.
245 00 $How to be chased /$cby Cousin Euphemia.
246 1_ $iTitle should read:$aHow to be chaste
• For seriously misleading pagination or foliation:
300 __ $a690, that is, 960 pages
• Otherwise, use 500:
500 __ $aPublication date 2080 from title page.
Actually published in 2008.
BASE CHOICE OF ACCESS POINTS AND FIXED FIELD VALUES ON CORRECTED INFO.
Square brackets 1
• to provide a devised title for materials which have no
title at all
245 00 $a[Letters between Queen Victoria and John
Brown].
• to clarify responsibilities in a statement of
responsibility
245 04 $aThe complete book of human knowledge
/$c[compiled by] Mick Taker.
• to summarise responsible entities in a statement of
responsibility.
245 10 $aMemories of Little Happening /$Jean Grey
[and fourteen others].
Square brackets 2
• to show that information normally transcribed from
the resource was transcribed from outside the
resource
• or, in the cases of place or date of publication only, to
supply a conjecture
264 _1 $a[U.K.?] :$b[Flyby Enterprises],
$c2010.
500 __ $aPublisher’s name from vendor’s
website.
• Note that each element has its own square brackets,
rather than a single set for the whole statement.
Square brackets 3
• to supply a larger place if the place of publication is
ambiguous, e.g. ‘Dublin [Ohio]’
• to provide a Common Era date in arabic numerals if
the date on the item is from a different calendar or
uses different numerals
$c5730 [1969 or 1970]
• if place, publisher or date is unknown and if, in the
case of place or date, no conjecture can be made.
264 _1 $a[Place of publication not identified]
:$b[publisher not identified],
$c[date of publication not identified]
Square brackets 4
• to supply a brief designation of edition if “a resource
lacks an edition statement but is known to contain
significant changes from other editions … if it is
considered to be important for identification or
access”; the nature of the change should be
explained in a note
250 __ $a[Revised edition].
500 __ $aMany of the hymns in this issue
have been reworded to remove gender bias.
(An anomaly – useful for automated deduplication of MARC
records, but puts expression-level data in a manifestationlevel element.)
Complex physical descriptions

Not (altogether) your problem
In some NACO records:
667 __ $aTHIS 1XX FIELD CANNOT BE USED UNDER
RDA UNTIL THIS RECORD HAS BEEN REVIEWED
AND/OR UPDATED.
• Please continue to use existing NACO records for access points,
even if they do not meet RDA standards; but tell BMAC.
• If you create a local AAP by RDA rules but there are bibs with
an AAP for the same entity created by AACR2 rules, tell BMAC.
Persons
• May be nonexistent or nonhuman (like LCSH, but
use X00 instead of X50)
X00 1_ $aHolmes, Sherlock (Fictional
character)
X00 0_ $aVienna (Cat)
• Still omit unnecessary ‘terms of address’ or job
titles.
• No abbreviations unless found in source of
information.
• Relator terms may be used in $e.
Persons – new formats for dates
• Do not use ‘ca.’, ‘b.’ and ‘d.’ with dates
$d1912[only birth date known]
$d-1990.
[only death date known]
$d-1990 April 1. [exact date for differentiation]
$dapproximately 1910-1980.
$d1908?-1970 or 1971.
$dactive 1920-1930.
$dactive 19th century.
Corporate bodies
• Preferred name is normally based on the terms by which that
body is presented, on evidence of preferred sources in
resources, etc., etc.
• Brief forms preferred, e.g. ‘Euratom’
• Still use placename abbreviations in qualifiers
• Conferences
o
o
o
o
o
do not have to include a term meaning ‘meeting’ in their names
do not have to be found in the resource
may have access points created both for individual conferences and
for conference series
may be qualified by multiple locations (separated by semi-cola)
if online, are qualified by ‘Online’ as a location in $c
• Placenames must not be qualified by ‘City’ or ‘Town’, but may
still be qualified by ‘County’, etc.
• Relator terms may be used in $e.
Works and expressions
• Less tidying up
o integrated statements of responsibility are retained
490 1_ $aRosie Redd’s Bible stories
800 1_ $aRedd, Rosie.$tRosie Redd’s Bible
stories.
• For collected works, use ‘Works. Selections’ not ‘Selections’.
(Language subfields follow.)
700 1_ $aYeats, W. B.$q(William Butler),$d18651939.$tWorks.$kSelections.$lFrench.
• In principle there is more freedom about terms used in
qualifiers; but please stick to established recipes, e.g. ‘Motion
picture’.
Main and added entries
• RDA instructions are embedded in instructions for name-title
access points.
• Artists working as a corporate body may be main entry.
• For collaborations, first or most prominent creator is main
entry, even if more than 3. Collaborators may do different
jobs (e.g. lyricist & composer) but they create the whole work
together rather than each creating separate parts.
• Compilations by different creators, i.e. resources consisting
of substantial freestanding parts (chapters, papers, poems,
artworks, etc.) created by different entities, are always
entered under title. (Conferences and catalogues need care.)
• All important components of compilations by a single creator
always have 7XX analytic entries.
o This includes multiple expressions of the same work, e.g.
the same work in different languages.
