Agenda

 Background  Goals  RDA testing in US (Oct.-Dec. 2010)  Tester Group at Columbia (July 1, 2010-)  What’s new in RDA: comparison with AACR2  MARC21: new and updated tags  Summary: initial observations

2

Background

   In response to concerns about RDA raised by the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control, the three U.S. national libraries —the Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine and the National Agricultural Library —made a commitment to the further development and completion of RDA. The three libraries agreed to make a joint decision on whether or not to implement RDA, based on the results of a test of both RDA and the Web product. The goal of the test is to assure the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of RDA. Testers will include the three national libraries and the broader U.S. library community.

Columbia University is one of selected testing institutions.

Goals

 RDA (Resource Description & Access)  The new, unified standard for resource description and access, designed for the digital world and an expanding universe of metadata users.

 Approach: pros & cons  Emphasis:  Practical experiences and observations during testing process  Comparison between RDA and AACR2  CJK examples  This is not a training session but an informative session for the discussion of issues!

4

RDA Testing

  RDA Test “Train the Trainer” on 1/15/10 RDA Basecamp (Testers’ website) with all related documents  Training manual and documents:  Comparison between AACR2 & RDA  RDA core elements (core & core if…)  Choices in RDA  LC proposed practice for the RDA test  163 options and alternatives in RDA (alternative/optional omission/optional addition)  Exercises

5

RDA Testing

 Official testing time is from Oct.1-Dec.31, 2010  RDA testing cataloging decisions  Common set titles  25 titles (10 textual monographs; 5 audio-visual; 5 serials-print or other; 5 integrating resources)  All titles will be in English; items with parallel languages may be included  Each institution catalogs one common set by two different persons —one using RDA; another one using the current codes   Only descriptive elements; no subject analysis is to be done No searching of local or national database

6

RDA Testing —Extra set

  RDA testing cataloging decisions  Extra set for regular materials:     25 titles using RDA Catalog these materials using normal procedures, e.g. perform authority work if normally does so Catalog these materials to accommodate MARC21 changes related to RDA If a testing institution is a PCC member, provide PCC coding  Decisions:    LC will host the site containing all the test RDA records, and work with OCLC to resolve the technical issues for record transferring.

Submit records for common set and regular titles to LC for analysis by the Testing Coordinating Committee Each institution must submit a survey response for each record Via email, B. Tillett has agreed to include CJK titles for RDA training examples.

7

Tester Group at Columbia

 Chaired by the Director of Original Cataloging Division  Testers include Original Catalogers from Central Technical Services, one representative from East Asian Library and one representative from Law Library.  In addition to MARC record creation, our Metadata Coordinator also creates non-MARC metadata records (MODS).

8

Tester Group: training period

 Almost weekly meeting from July 1 to Sept. 30, 2010  Listened to RDA webinars  Reviewed the Powerpoint slides  Reviewed RDA Toolkit  Navigation  Created workflows for rare books, metadata, etc.

 Organized and reviewed related training documents for both bibliographic and authority records

9

Selected RDA resources

  RDA toolkit RDA Toolkit —a guided tour by Troy Linker (2/8&9/2010)  Basecamp  LC test site  LC documentation: including examples compared to AACR2 and LC Policy Statements   University of Chicago documentation and examples Adam Schiff’s Comparison  RDA Testing and PCC document

10

Tester Group: training period

 Created test records individually and discussed with other testers during meeting  Tried new RDA elements or rules if applicable  Shared concerns for specific formats or rules  Set up a Wiki page for testers’ communication and training documentation  Went over testing procedures for both common set and extra set

11

Selected RDA resources on our wiki

          JSC for the Development of RDA Working Documents examples) NCSU RDA documentation & training materials (includes RDA in depth: differences between RDA and AACR2 Maxwell) (Robert RDA Changes for AACR2 for Texts (Barbara Tillett) RDA Vocabularies: Process, Outcome, Use (D. Hillmann, et al.) RDA vocabularies for a Twenty-First century data environment (Library Technology Reports, special issue, Feb./Mar. 2010; Vol.46, no.2) Susan Summer's Selected RDA Resources DCRM-L thread on rare books cataloging US RDA Test and SACO RDA and the Semantic Web Library) (Alexander Haffner, German National

12

Tester Group: testing period

 Oct. 1-Dec. 31, 2010  Due to the complex testing procedures, do common set first, then extra set later.

  Do not meet regularly, but give testers more time to create records.

The chair called for a meeting to collect testers’ comments for certain meetings/reports.

 For extra set, record all test record numbers on the Wiki.

New: identifying families

(authority records) RDA 8.1.2=“two or more persons related by birth, marriage, adoption, etc.

Scope:   Now considered creators, contributors, etc.

Important for archives, museums, and special collections Examples:    100 3# Ingebretson (Family) 376 ## Family

Date

associated with the family (RDA 10.4) 046 ## 1925 $t 1976 100 3# Pahlavi (Dynasty : $d 1925-1979) 376 ## Dynasty

Place

associated with the family 046 ## 1529 $t 1739 100 3# Nayak (Dynasty : $d 1529-1739 : Madurai, India) 370 ## Madurai, India 376 ## Dynasty

30

MARC21

New and updated tags

31

MARC21 new & updated tags

 Bibliographic records  Leader/18: “i”  033 —Date/Time, and place of event [LC: TBD]  040 $e rda  260 $c —give “copyright date” after publication date  336--content type; 337--media type; 338--carrier type  380-384: Form of work, medium of performance & numeric designation, etc. [LC policy to be decided]  518 —Date/Time and place of event note [LC: TBD]  533/776: LC decision on reproduction policy

32

MARC21 new & updated tags

 Authority records  008/10 —Descriptive cataloging rules: use “z” (other) [A value is not defined for RDA]  040 $e rda  046 $k Beginning or single date created [TBD]   046 $l Ending date created [TBD] 370--Associated place; 371 —Address; 372—Field of activity; 373 —Affiliation; 374—Occupation; 375— Gender; 376: Family information; 377 —Associated languages [used to be 670;

implementing the FRAD

]   380-384: Form of work; Other characteristics; Medium of performance; Numeric designation of a musical work; key [TBD] 500-530: $4 —relationship code; $w/0 “r”—control subfield

33

Summary: initial observations

 Benefits:  Authority record is much more strengthened with more information even though they are optional elements.

 If 336-338 information will be processed well in discovery tool, it would be a great source for facet searching or collocating.

 Try to be more user-friendly, e.g. spell-out form  Go beyond MARC community  Outreach international community  Concerns:  RDA Toolkit: no index  Hard to search and navigate  Top priority for the enhancement in the next release

34

Summary: initial observations

 Concerns:  RDA is not format-based, so harder to catalog specific type of resources.

 RDA does not have sufficient examples; therefore, other resources are extremely helpful for creating RDA records, e.g.  Workflows in Toolkit, LC examples, JSC examples, Adam Schiff’s slides, University of Chicago’s examples on website, esp. with OPAC view  Repetitive information, esp. for AV materials  It takes longer to catalog if more information added to bibliographic and authority records.

OPAC

The display of new RDA elements

58

OPAC display

     Options for 336, 337, 338 To display or not  Reference staff feeling: not to display since they are not useful and cluttered the records  Testing: devising labels If display, what’s the label?

 3xx displays as “Description”?

 Use RDA terminology (Content type, media type, carrier type)?

 Different labels: content, medium and format If not, still used as facets?

Example: University of Chicago

My observations and analysis

 Pros  Transcribe what it appears on piece  No more Latin abbreviations  FRBRized structure — format-free approach  More options  Cons  Much more spellings: macros to handle  Technical difficulties  RDA Toolkit: no index & few CJK examples  Hard to catalog without format-specific instructions  More fields to code: really necessary ($0)?

 More local decisions? More training for copy catalogers?

63

My observations and analysis

 Pros  More detailed publishing information  More fields for authority control and manipulation  Many Chinese names can be pulled out of undifferentiated name record due to new qualifiers, e.g. occupations  Flexible for other metadata (non-MARC)  Cons  Confusing: makeup titles; publishing information, etc.

 More time-consuming to code optional fields in authority record  Hard to map certain RDA elements with non-MARC metadata schemas  Make cataloging process more efficient or harder?  More messy database?

 How about legacy data?

64

Examples:

 Easier for users: no more S.l. & s.n.

 260 [Place of publication not identified] : $b [publisher not identified], $c [date of publication not identified]  Confusing for users:  Copyright date  260 [Des Moines?] : $b Iowa Department of Transportation, $c [date of publication not identified], c2009.

 Compilation of works by different creators  RDA with alternative for devised title  245 [Two political science studies]  245 [Two United States Midwest memoirs] 505 Community band concerts / Sharon Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri Swanson.  RDA without alternative for devised title  245 Community band concerts /$c Sharon Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri Swanson.

65

My wish list

 A more simplified approach  Compared with CSR experiences  A flexible tagging and applicable for non MARC data  No more punctuations   Are AACR2 records with sufficient information for technology/discovery tool to harvest for facet searching, etc.?

What’s the priority for the future of cataloging?
