A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO RDA FOR SCORES & SOUND RECORDINGS

Nancy Lorimer, Stanford University

Scope

What is happening currently in RDA implementation

A very brief introduction to RDA Highlights of changes to score & sound

recording cataloging in RDA in the MARC21 & ISBD environment

RDA Implementation

Library of Congress Day 1 for RDA is March 31, 2013 On this day:

All new authority records added to the name authority file must be RDA records

All PCC bibliographic records must have RDA access points

LC catalogers will catalog in RDA Note that this does NOT mean that all

bibliographic records (PCC or not) must be created in RDA by this date; there is no set date for this

RDA Implementation

Preparations (Music Library Association) RDA Music Revisions Facilitation Task Force

Joint task force with Library of Congress & Canadian Committee on Cataloging (CCC)

Charged with compiling known music issues in RDA, prioritizing & recommendations on how to address the issue

RDA Music Implementation Task Force Create music best practices documentation to

supplement RDA & develop official MLA workflows to be shared in the RDA Toolkit

RDA: Brief Overview

RDA = Resource Description & Access Based on Functional Requirements for

Bibliographic Records (FRBR) & Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD)

A content standard—what information you provide and how to provide it

It is not a display standard (ISBD) or a record format (MARC 21)

RDA: Brief Overview

RDA additions in the Toolkit

Library of Congress Policy Statements (LCPS)

Library of Congress Core Plus RDA mappings

RDA to MARC/MARC to RDA bibliographic mapping

RDA to MARC/MARC to RDA authority mapping

RDA to MODS mapping Shared workflows & mapping created by

individuals

Preferred Source for Title: Scores (2.2.2.2)

preliminaries Other sources

Cover Caption Masthead Colophon

AACR2 Ch.5—Chief Source

RDA—Preferred Source

Preferred source for title: Sound recordings (2.2.2.4)

“a label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource, excluding accompanying textual material or a container (e.g., a label on an audio CD, or a model) ORembedded metadata in textual form that contains a title (e.g., metadata embedded in an MP3 audio file)”

No preference for collective over non-collective titles

Statement of Responsibility (2.4.2.2)

“Take statements of responsibility relating to the title proper from the following sources (in order of preference):a) the same source as the title proper

b) another source within the resource itself

c) one of the other sources specified in 2.2.4”

Edition Statement (2.5)

RDA does not have a separate music presentation statement; defined as part of the edition statement

AACR2

250 First edition.254 Score & parts.

RDA

250 First edition, Score & parts.

250 Study score.

250 Piano/vocal score.

Publication statement (2.8)

Publication statement is a core element Publication statement is a separate

element from distribution or manufacturer statements; these can no longer replace the publication statement If no publication statement:

[Place of publication not identified] : $b [Publisher not identified]OR[Los Angeles?] : $b [John Redford]

Publication date/Copyright date 2 different elements in RDA; copyright date may

not replace the publication date If publication date not known:

[Publication date not known]OR[2010?]

Copyright/phonogram date is not required if a publication date is given BUT for music, we strongly suggest you add it, even when it is the same as the publication date.

Changes to MARC: the 264 field Production, Publication, Distribution,

Manufacture and Copyright Notice Provides individual coding through 2nd

indicators 0 = Production 1 = Publication 2 = Distribution 3 = Manufacture 4 = Copyright Notice

The 260 field will continue to be valid

Changes to score types

Definition of score: Graphical, symbolic, or word-based musical

notation representing the sounds of all the parts of an ensemble or a work for solo performer or electronic media. Do not confuse with Part.

No more “p. of music”, “v. of music”8 p. of music becomes 1 score (8 pages)

(Carrier type) 1 audio disc

May also use a term in common usage per 3.41.5 (Other terms used to designate the type of unit)

Access Points

Main/added entry concept replaced by the concept of the Authorized Access Point Can be for people, corporations, families,

work Consist of preferred name and/or title and

any additions required for differentiation purposes (many of these are required)

Access Points: changes for music

No longer a rule of 3—either provide an access point for the 1st work of a collection or all the works

May also provide a collective access point together with or instead of individual access points for two or more works by the same composer.

Access points: Changes for music

100 1 Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791.

240 10

Concertos. $k Selections

245 Bassoon concerto ; $b Horn concerto no. 2 / Mozart.

300 1 audio disc : $b CD audio ; $c 4 3/4 in.

700 12

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791. $t Concertos, $m bassoon, orchestra, $n K. 191, $r B♭ major.

700 12

Access points: Changes for music “Selections” becomes “Works. Selections”

Lloyd Webber, Andrew, $d 1948- $t Selectionsbecomes:Lloyd Webber, Andrew, $d 1948- $t Works. $k Selections

“Violoncello” becomes “Cello” per LCPS 6.15.1.6

Elgar, Edward, $d 1857-1934. $t Concertos, $m violoncello, orchestra, $n op. 85, $r E minorbecomes:Elgar, Edward, $d 1857-1934. $t Concertos, $m cello, orchestra, $n op. 85, $r E minor

Access points: Changes for music “arr.” becomes “arranged”

Corigliano, John, $d 1938- $t Voyage, $m flute, string orchestra; $o arr.becomes:Corigliano, John, $d 1938- $t Voyage, $m flute, string orchestra; $o arranged

No more performer main entry? In AACR2, recordings that emphasized a

performer/performing group over the works were given “performer main entry”

In RDA (as in FRBR), a performer is a “contributor” not a “creator”, and so cannot be a preferred access point in a record if that is their only role

Relationships

RDA extends the web of relationships

Relationships

Creators/Contributors Relator codes found in Appendix I Encoded with the $e, not the $4 (code) Music related ones include:

Composer (Creator) Librettist (Creator) Lyricist (Creator) Singer (Contributor) Instrumentalist (Contributor) Performer (Contributor)

Relationships

Between works: Vocabulary given in Appendix J “Contains” = 700 12 (analytic entries) Other relationships can be specified in a $i

Libretto based on (work) Musical setting of (work) Musical variations based on (work) Cadenza for (work)

700 1# $i Libretto based on (work): $a
