[DCRM-L] RBMS Q3: Sources of information

[Mascaro, Michelle]

I am putting out a second call for responses to this question (see original email below) proposed to the list before Midwinter.  Please respond by the end of next week.



I have heard from a couple people that their responses are not making it to the list.  The problem tends to be that the email they are sending from does not match the email they signed up for the listserv.  In these cases, DCRM-L drops the message and no notice is sent to the sender.  If you think your response may have been lost, please feel free to contact me off list.



To start discussion...I am posting the text of one these lost emails that was recently sent to me.





"The order of sources proposed by RBMS PS 2.2.2.2 seems relevant and effective to me (with the caveat that I don't catalog notated music and have done very few serials). And I'm comfortable with the fact that the proposed order could result in a different title than that identified by using the RDA order of sources. Titles are important in identifying manifestations so it's not insignificant to possibly have two different titles depending on the guideline you use but I think it's warranted here. The source order you suggest is closest to how rare materials identify themselves which allows for more accurate representation of the material and facilitates user tasks.



It seems odd that we would instruct to ignore the early printed resources exception, though. I know a previous proposal by the RSC Rare Materials Working Group to change RDA 2.2.2.2 was not accepted and was withdrawn. Is the plan to issue a new proposal based on this RBMS PS?



Thanks,

Kate"

Subject: [DCRM-L] RBMS Q3: Sources of information

Happy New Year.  The next issue I would like to present for community discussion is sources of information.  The current draft of the RBMS PS proposes a different order of preference for choosing a source of information for resources that lack a title page than what is in RDA proper (including the RDA early print resources exception).  Due to the complexity of the changes, I am attaching a copy of the 2.2 RBMS PS side by side with RDA text for additional context. (I omitted the RDA instructions for subrules where there are no PS.)  The section about manifestations with no title page, title sheet, or title card is under 2.2.2.  I am particularly interested in community feedback on both the proposed order and general thoughts on whether it is problematic for the RBMS PS to deviate from RDA here. (Technically, the same resource could be described with two different title whether one is following RDA proper or the RBMS PS.)

Best,
