[cross-posted; please excuse the duplication]

Colleagues,

The Music Library Association's Bibliographic Control Committee is proud to announce the release of version 1.1 of the resource Best Practices for Music Cataloging Using RDA and MARC21. This version incorporates numerous revisions, stemming from related changes to RDA itself, updates to the MARC format, and evolutions in thinking within the music cataloging community.

The full PDF document is here: http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2015/RDA_Best_Practices_for_Music_Cataloging_v1.1-150217.pdf
A list of changes between the last published version (v.1.0.1, released April 2014) and v.1.1 is here: http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2015/List_of_Changes_Version%201_0_1_to_Version%201_1_Table.pdf

Concurrent with this release is the RDA Toolkit release scheduled for 2/17 (today!), which will include hyperlinks directly from individual RDA instructions to relevant sections of the Best Practices content. Special thanks go to Jamie Hennelly of ALA Publishing for his help in facilitating the mark-up and integration of this content into the Toolkit environment.

Certain sections of the Best Practices were not marked up for Toolkit inclusion, but have instead been compiled into a supplemental document, to which is hyperlinked as appropriate from elsewhere in the Toolkit: http://bcc.musiclibraryassoc.org/BCC-Historical/BCC2015/Suppl_RDA_Best_Practices_Music_Cataloging_v1.1-150115.pdf

Future versions of the Best Practices will be updated directly within the Toolkit environment (similar to LC-PCC PS updates), and the full PDF version will be retired.

As always, feedback is strongly encouraged, in order to ensure that these Best Practices reflect the needs of the broader community. Please direct such feedback to myself, or to Beth Iseminger (beth.iseminger at gmail.com<mailto:beth.iseminger at gmail.com>), BCC Chair.

Yours,
Casey Mullin
Chair, MLA-BCC RDA Music Implementation Task Force

"Those who need structured and granular data and the precise retrieval that results from it to carry out research and scholarship may constitute an elite minority rather than most of the people of the world (sadly), but that talented and intelligent minority is an important one for the cultural and technological advancement of humanity. It is even possible that if we did a better job of providing access to such data, we might enable the enlargement of that minority."
