Currently there are the following workflows in the RDA Toolkit:
- Cornell: Cheat Sheet for Content/Media/Carrier Fields in RDA
- Cornell: Cheat Sheet for the New Authorities Fields
- Cornell: Maps workflow
- Cornell: Photocopies
Here are issues that we need clearer agreement on, or at least documentation justifying Cornell's stand:
- Use of 040 $b eng
- LC will use $b eng; might be useful for upcoming OCLC projects
- Use of 490
- Do we still trace series on non-PCC cataloging?
- Relationship designators
- we're trying to use them, as long as we can choose an appropriate one. Right?
- 245 Transcribing author's affiliations
- Some are adding affiliations to record, some are not. Where do we stand?
- 500 Add notes like "Poems" or "Short stories" like AACR2.
- Not spelled out in RDA.
- 260 Rules says to add first place mentioned or all.
- Do we want a ruling or leave it to cataloger's judgment? If the second one is in the US, we might want to include?
- 504 Transcription of unnumbered pages
- Follow rule or Stanford's model for unnumbered pages?
- Are the following examples correct?
STANFORD'S ANSWER:
- 500 for Cover title
- Not really spelled out in list of examples in Toolkit.
- 245 $a Use of capitals.
- Continue familiar practice, or capitalize first letter of each word or whole word if on piece, or leave up to cataloger?
- 040 Order of $e rda in string
- Example: 040 __ |a BTCTA |b eng |c BTCTA |d NIC |e rda
- Example: 040 __ |a DLC |e rda |b eng |c DLC |d ZYF |d WLL |d NIC
- Fixed field -- Use of the Literary Form fixed field.
- Do we want to have a policy?
- Fixed field -- Audience, not just when the book is juvenile: Adult, Specialized, General.
- Do we want to have a policy?
