<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<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 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Expand abbreviations, etc., without bracketing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Physical description (300 field) is treated differently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Addition of content, media, and carrier types<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">5.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">6.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">7.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>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>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bob<o:p></o:p></p>
