</SPAN><FONT COLOR="#1F497D"><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>As a follow-up to the Webinar “Cataloging Defensively: ‘When to Input a New Record’ in the Age of DDR,” presented on October 28th and November 1st, I wanted to inform registrants of some clarifying information that was unknown to me at the time of the presentation. Thanks to Dave Reser of the Library of Congress for bringing this to our attention.<BR>

Although it is true that Resource Description and Access (RDA) proper does not allow for a cataloger-supplied edition statement in the sort of situation that AACR2 1.2B4 and its LCRI account for, the RDA Library of Congress Policy Statement 2.5.1.4 is an almost exact restatement of AACR2 1.2B4, providing for a cataloger-supplied edition statement: “LCPS for 2.5.1.4: Recording Edition Statements: If a resource lacks an edition statement but it is known to contain significant changes from other editions, supply a brief statement in the language and script of the title proper and enclose it in square brackets.” LC Policy Statements (LCPSs) are the RDA parallels to AACR2 LC Rule Interpretations (LCRIs).<BR>
