<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I had hoped to hear some discussion on the problem of fictitious imprints in RDA rare records that Richard brought up a week ago. I was informed this morning
that the deadline for changes to the BSR was today (I thought we had more time), so couldn’t wait any longer. On the theory that the rare community would not object to including instructions for dealing with this information in rare materials to bring practice
into line on this issue with DCRM(B), I asked that the following be added to the RDA BSR
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/scs/documents/PCC-RDA-BSR.pdf">http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/scs/documents/PCC-RDA-BSR.pdf</a>. As I noted below, I think adding this information could have been justified even under the current BSR (since it says, e.g., for
publishers’ names, generally to record *<b>all</b>* publishers’ names in records for rare materials, which would include supplied real names as well as fictitious ones), but these additions make this explicit. I apologize for taking action on this without
full discussion or formal approval from BSC. As I say I was unaware that the deadline was today. I thought it was early January.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

intent when that was written into the BSR, I think that language could cover <i>
all</i> places and publishers, i.e., both the fictitious <i>and</i> the real place and publisher. So I think an argument could be made even as the BSR is currently written for a formulation, in rare materials cataloging, such as</span><o:p></o:p></p>

is a problem, we could propose revisions such as this to the BSR at the end of the trial period (which I believe went through the end of this year). Meanwhile I think you are justified going ahead and entering the information in an RDA record as DCRM(B) calls

the publication information)—RDA never says <i>where</i> the information has to be recorded, so recording this sort of information in 264 with coding making the field for corrected information would be fine. And it would satisfy the display issue you write
about, Richard. I think it would also satisfy DCRM’s desire to record corrected information, though in a slightly different way from the way we’re now instructed to do it. Would you like to write up such a proposal, Richard?

<span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">RDA 2.8.2.3 / 2.8.6.3 instruct us to transcribe false or fictitious publication data as found, without interpolated correction, and to make a note (per 2.20.7.3) giving the actual place name, etc. This is a clear
violation of what I take to be the whole justification for RDA, its orientation to database structures as such, which surely would entail appropriate tagging of correct information. How can we program
<i>any</i> system to mine corrected publication information out of the welter of notes? Furthermore, will we be constrained to follow fictitious place and date in the MARC fixed field? At that point, we have misplaced and effectively obscured essential information
about a manifestation--so much for FRBR! Granted, one might use the 752 as a container for information about place, at least, but that field is so inconsistently applied as to be useless for comprehensive searching, much less for collocating manifestations
by place. The same applies to access points for actual publishers, printers, etc. (There is, by the way, no mention of false/fictitious publisher data in RDA 2.8). As for dates ...</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The means are to hand in MARC, by way of a repeated 264 field, with a new first indicator to denote corrected publication info (which could be valid for all four second indicator values). I'm not sure quite why this
is necessary--brackets are certainly not <i>verboten</i> in 260/264, and I don't think all those "transcribe what you see" instructions evidence great concern for integrity of data such that the fictitious imprint must remain pristine in its presentation.
(Simplicity of input seems to be the reigning principle.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">This may not be the exact right forum in which to bring this up, though I do think it has grave implications for our attempts at bibliographically respectable records. Where <i>are</i> the pressure points for campaigning
in such cases? Can such provisions be directly contradicted by way of a Policy Statement? And if such a campaign were to fail (though this has the contours of a hill to die on), could a revised RDA-based DCRM(B) include provision for getting it right in that
context, at least?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
