<p class=MsoNormal>Hello, all—<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve made a stab of RDAizing a DCRMB record. If anyone
has any suggestions they would be welcome. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The OCLC master record is AACR2: 558904090<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Institution Record attached to it is RDA: 654560060<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you’re not familiar with looking at institution
records, go to the master record, and then under the Cataloging menu choose Show,
then All Institution Records.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A specific issue came up with this record that would bear
discussion:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What should we do about expansion of abbreviations,
contractions, ligatures, etc.? RDA philosophy is “copy exactly what you
see,” but as we know that is a bit simplistic for early title pages. Some
possibilities I see:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Continue to expand abbreviations,
etc., exactly as we do now in DCRM(B), including the bracketing conventions
(this is what I did in this record)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Expand abbreviations, etc.,
without bracketing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Do not expand abbreviations—but
what about ligatures, symbols, etc.?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This issue is an issue that has to do with rare materials,
and therefore would warrant under our principles a different approach from RDA
if we feel it appropriate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Other RDA changes that do not have anything to do with rare
materials (and therefore we would follow the general rules rather than have a
special rule in DCRM) that you will note on this record:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>In RDA we don’t draw
attention to errors; so in the AACR2 version the first bit is transcribed “Liber
de potestatae [sic] syderu[m]” because it’s ungrammatical; in RDA
there’s no “sic”: “Liber de potestatae syderu[m]”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Physical description (300 field)
is treated differently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Addition of content, media, and
carrier types<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>4.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>In RDA abbreviation is almost
forbidden, so in the signatures note I used “[paragraph mark]” in
the RDA record instead of “[par.]”. I don’t think there’s
any unique rare reason why we should use an abbreviation here. Related to this,
though it doesn’t have bearing on this particular book: in RDA the format
symbols are the same as in DCRM, except “folio” is spelled out, not
abbreviated, e.g. … 32 cm (folio), not … 32 cm (fol.) Again, no
rare reason why we need to abbreviate this word.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>5.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Note the form of the name in 100.
The AACR2 form has “cent.”; the RDA form has “century”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>6.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>Note the form of the name in 700.
The AACR2 form has “fl.”; the RDA form has “active”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>7.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]><span dir=LTR></span>The use of relator terms won’t
be unusual to us, except perhaps using one in 1XX fields. Also none of them are
abbreviated in RDA (“editor,” not “ed.”)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve added RDA elements to the authority records for the
two persons involved, but unfortunately I can’t produce them in any way
that anyone else can look at them until October 1, when we can begin RDA work
in NACO. For the moment they’re stored in BYU’s online save file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Comments are welcome; and especially discussion on DCRM-L on
the issue of what to do with abbreviations, ligatures, symbols, etc., in
transcribed areas under RDA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
