Unit 1 Introduction to the Unit

• Where are the Instructions?
• Naming the Work
• LC Decisions on
• Bibliographic or Authority?
• Core Elements to Distinguish
• Language and Script
• Terminology
• Sources
• Authorized Access Points for Works

5
Introduction to Works and ExpressionsWhere are
the Instructions?

• Generally, the instructions for identifying works
  and expressions are in chapter 6.
• You will also need to consult the related
  instructions in
• Chapter 19, Persons, Families, and Corporate
  Bodies Associated with a Work
• Chapter 20, Persons, Families, and Corporate
  Bodies Associated with an Expression

6
Naming the Work --Same as Determining Main
Entry?

• Also called naming the work and naming the
  expression
• Same as AACR2 main entry if the manifestation
  contains that work/expression

LC Decisions on Bibliographic or Authority Data?

• RDA does not prescribe if attributes about the
  work and the access points are to be recorded as
  bibliographic data or authority data
• LC Policy
• Always identify the work by giving the access
  point in the bibliographic record
• Sometimes identify the work by making a title or
  name/title authority record -- no changes from
  policy in DCM Z1

8
Core Elements to Distinguish

• If elements are being recorded to distinguish one
  work from another or from the name of a person,
  family, or corporate body, RDA gives choices for
  recording the elements (RDA 0.6.3)
• LC policy
• always give as additions to the authorized access
  point
• cataloger judgment to also give as separate
  elements in authority records

9
Language and Script

• Title for a work in the language and script in
  which it appears in the resource (RDA 5.4)
• U.S. in authorized and variant access points
  apply the alternative to give a romanized form
• For some languages (see LCPS 5.4), can also give
  variant access points (MARC 4XX) in original
  language/script in authority records
• Other attributes for a work in RDA chapter 6 in
  language and script prescribed in instructions

10
Terminology Related to Works

• Title of the work (RDA 6.2.1.1)
• word, character, or group of words and/or
  characters by which a work is known
• Preferred title for the work (RDA 6.2.2.1)
• the form of title used when constructing the
  authorized access point
• Variant title for the work (RDA 6.2.3.1)
• the form of title used when constructing a
  variant access point
• aka see references

11
Sources of Information Preferred Titles (RDA
6.2.2.2)

• For a work created after 1500
• From resources embodying the work or from
  reference sources
• The most common form of the title
• Sometimes title proper of the first
  manifestation received
• For a work created before 1501
• From modern reference sources
• If this evidence is inconclusive, use (in this
  order)
• a) modern editions
• b) early editions
• c) manuscript copies

12
Sources of Information Other Elements (RDA
6.1.1)

• For all other identifying attributes of works and
  expressions
• Take the information from any source

13
Authorized Access Points for Works RDA 6.27.1.1
- 6.27.1.8

• How to put together the elements to construct an
  authorized access point
• Preferred title is the basis
• Authorized access point for the creator precedes
  the preferred title, as applicable
• Additions to the preferred title as instructed
  under 6.27.1.9
• Links back to the instructions on recording each
  of the specific elements

14
Unit 2 Elements for Works

• Preferred Title for the Work
• Entities Responsible for a Work
• Compilations vs. Collaborations
• Additions to Access Points for Works
• Variant Access Points for Works
• MARC Authority Fields for Works

15
Preferred Title for the Work -- Overview

• CORE ELEMENT
• General instructions (RDA 6.2.1 and 6.2.2)
• Specific instructions (RDA 6.2.2.9, 6.2.2.10, and
  later instructions in Chapter 6)

16
Preferred Title for the Work General
Instructions

• RDA 6.2.1
• Recording titles (i.e., in general)
• Scope by which a work is known.
• Capitalization Numbers Diacritics Articles
  Spacing Abbreviations
• RDA 6.2.2.1 6.2.2.10
• Scope and sources
• Choosing preferred titles
• Recording preferred titles

17
Preferred Title for the Work Specific Categories

• some musical works (RDA 6.14.2)
• some legal works (RDA 6.19.2)
• some religious works (RDA 6.23.2)
• some official communications (RDA 6.26.2)

18
Preferred Title Parts of a Work (RDA 6.2.2.9)

• Other than musical or religious works
• How many parts?
• one (RDA 6.2.2.9.1)
• two or more (RDA 6.2.2.9.2)

19
Parts of a Work One Part (RDA 6.2.2.9.1)

• Record the preferred title for the part,
  applying the basic instructions on recording
  titles of works given under 6.2.1.
• Preferred title for a part of J.R.R. Tolkiens
  The lord of the rings
• Two towers
• Preferred title for a part of the television
  program The Simpsons
• King of the hill

20
Parts of a Work Two or More Parts (RDA
6.2.2.9.2)

• Consecutively numbered, with only a general
  designation
• Record the designation of the parts followed
  by the inclusive numbers of the parts
• Preferred title for the first six books of
  Homers Iliad
• Book 16
• Two or more unnumbered or non-consecutively
  numbered parts
• Record the preferred title for each of the
  parts
• Preferred title for a part of Divina commedia in
  a compilation also comprising the part Paradiso
• Purgatorio

21
Parts of a Work Two or More Parts (Alternative)

• Alternative instruction for unnumbered or
  non-consecutive parts
• LC practice (LCPS 6.2.2.9.2)
• Instead of recording the preferred title for
  each of the parts, record the conventional
  collective title Selections as the preferred
  title for the parts.
• Preferred title for the parts of the work in a
  compilation comprising books 1 and 6 of Homers
  Iliad
• Selections

22
Authorized Access Point for Part(s) of a Work
(RDA 6.27.2)

• Generally preferred title for part(s), preceded
  by authorized access point for the creator, if
  appropriate
• Exceptions preferred title for part(s), preceded
  by authorized access point for the work
• non-distinctive titles
• serials and integrating resources
• television/radio programs
• consecutively-numbered parts

23
Preferred Title Compilations ofOne P - F - CB
(RDA 6.2.2.10)

• Has compilation become known by a title?
• Not usually
• e.g., Leaves of Grass is not a compilation
• If not, use a conventional collective title
  (doesnt matter if title proper is distinctive)
• Complete works use Works
• Complete works in a single form use term chosen
  by cataloger
• Other compilations of two or more works in same
  form or different forms add Selections to the
  appropriate conventional collective title

24
Preferred Title Compilations ofOne P - F - CB
(cont.)

• Major change from AACR2!
• Under RDA, LC catalogers will no longer need to
• Determine if the creator created works only in a
  single form
• Determine if the title proper of the compilation
  is distinctive

25
Preferred Title Compilationsof Works by
Different Creators

• Identify the compilation by its preferred title
  (RDA 6.27.1.4)
• Either
• Title by which the compilation has become known
  (uncommon), or
• The title proper of the manifestation
• Resource described The best of Broadway (A set
  of five CDs with selections from original cast
  recordings of various musicals by various
  composers)
• Best of Broadway

26
What if Such a ManifestationLacks a Collective
Title?

• A work that is part of a larger work is
  considered a whole-part related work
• RDA and LCPS 25.1
• Generally
• Use the title proper of the first work in the
  compilation as the preferred title, and
• Provide an analytical authorized access point for
  the predominant or first work in the compilation
  when it represents a substantial part of the
  resource.
• Generally, do not devise a title to use as a
  preferred title.
• LC does not apply the alternative to 6.27.1.4
• Change in LC policy from the RDA Test!

27
Examples of Compilations AACR2 vs. RDA

• The next four slides illustrate examples of
  various compilation situations
• RDA attempts to correct the misleading
  misidentification of works that sometimes
  occurred in AACR2

28
Examples of Compilations 2 Works by the Same
Creator

• AACR2 use the 1st work as the preferred title,
  which misidentifies the compilation

100 1 a Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005 240 10 a
Archbishops ceiling 245 10 a Two plays / c
Arthur Miller. 505 0 a The Archbishops ceiling
-- The American clock. 700 12 a Miller,
Arthur, d 1915-2005. t American clock.
29
Examples of Compilations 2 Works by the Same
Creator

• RDA apply the alternative to use a conventional
  collective title

100 1 a Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005 240 10
a Plays. k Selections 245 10 a Two plays / c
Arthur Miller. 505 0 a The Archbishops
ceiling -- The American clock. 700 12 a
Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005. t Archbishops
ceiling. 700 12 a Miller, Arthur, d 1915-2005.
t American clock.
Not a core requirement but helpful to the user
30
Examples of Compilations Different Creators,
No Collective Title

• AACR2 use the 1st work as the preferred title
  (this misidentifies the compilation)

• 100 1 a Polk, Sharon.
• 240 10 a Community band concerts
• 10 a Community band concerts / c Sharon
  Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri Swanson.
• 12 a Swanson, Terri. t Fall harvest
• festivals.

31
Examples of Compilations Different Creators,
No Collective Title

• RDA use the title proper of the first work as
  the preferred title do not devise a title

• 245 00 a Community band concerts / c Sharon
• Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri
• Swanson.
• 700 12 a Polk, Sharon. t Community band
• concerts.
• 700 12 a Swanson, Terri. t Fall harvest
• festivals.

Not a core requirement but helpful to the user
32
Entities Responsible for a Work

• RDA 0.6.3
• when creating the authorized access point for
  the work, precede the preferred title for the
  work, if appropriate, by the authorized access
  point representing the person, family, or
  corporate body responsible for the intellectual
  or artistic content of the work

33
Entities Responsible for a Work Where are the
Instructions?

• Creator is a relationship to a work it isnt an
  attribute of the work itself.
• So we will find the instructions about creators
  in Chapter 19, not Chapter 6.

• contributors are responsible for an expression
• discussed in Chapter 20

34
Entities Responsible for a Work Sources

• Preferred sources of information
• Other statements appearing prominently in the
  resource
• Use cataloger judgment
• Information appearing only in the content
• Other sources

35
Creator (RDA 19.2)

• CORE ELEMENT
• person, family, or corporate body responsible
  for the creation of a work
• If more than one entity is responsible for the
  work as a whole (i.e., is a collaboration)
• The creator having principal responsibility named
  first in the resource is required
• If principal responsibility is not indicated,
  only the first-named creator is required
• LCPS 19.2 says to use cataloger judgment in
  deciding whether to provide authorized access
  points for additional creators, beyond the core

36
Creator Changes from AACR2

• No rule of three to identify the work only by
  its preferred title when there are more than
  three creators
• Performer of works by different composers
  presented in a sound recording is not
  automatically considered a creator

37
Compilers and Modifiers as Creators(19.2.1.1)

• An entity responsible for compiling an aggregate
  work may be considered a creator of the
  compilation if the selection, arrangement,
  editing, etc., of content for the compilation
  effectively results in the creation of a new
  work
• An entity responsible for modifying a previously
  existing work in a way that substantially changes
  the nature or content of the original is
  considered a creator of the new work.

38
Collaborative Works

• Creators may perform the same or different roles
  (RDA 19.2.1)
• Principally-responsible, or first-named creator
• Exceptions not to use the first-named creator
  (RDA 6.27.1.3)
• most moving image resources (named by preferred
  title)
• some resources involving both corporate bodies
  and persons
• most serials (per LCPS proposal to revise RDA)

39
Example Multiple Creators with Principal
Responsibility

• 100 a Sweet, Martha.
• 245 a Georgia history / c by Martha
• Sweet and Linda Bruce with
• contributions by Gus Peterson and
• Marilee James.
• 700 a Bruce, Linda.
• 700 a Peterson, Gus.
• 700 a James, Marilee.

LCPS 19.3 cataloger judgment
40
Example Multiple Creators -- No Principal
Responsibility Indicated

• 100 a Brown, Susan.
• 245 a Architecture / c by Susan Brown,
• Melanie Carlson, Stephen Lindell,
• Kevin Ott, and Janet Wilson.
• 700 a Carlson, Melanie.
• 700 a Lindell, Stephen.
• 700 a Ott, Kevin.
• 700 a Wilson, Janet.

24500
Under AACR2, this would have been entered under
title, with no 1XX field.
access points for other creators cataloger
judgment (LCPS 19.3)
41
Corporate Bodies as Creators

• Categories of works (RDA 19.2.1.1.1)
• Similar to AACR2 21.1B2
• Corporate body takes precedence over a
  first-named person or family as creator
• LCPS, similar to RI for 21.21B2
• RDA 19.2.1.1.2 on government and religious
  officials as creators

42
Compilations vs. Collaborations

• Important distinction
• Determines how each is identified
• Compilations
• RDA 6.27.1.4
• Collaborations
• RDA 6.27.1.3

43
Compilations vs. Collaborations One Creator

• Multiple works by a single creator
• Treated as a compilation
• Identified by
• Creator
• Preferred title

44
Compilations vs. Collaborations Multiple
Creators

• Compilation
• Preferred title
• Collaboration
• Creator (principal or first-named)
• Preferred title

45
Compilations vs. Collaborations How to Decide?

• Clues that you have a compilation
• Indication of who created what
• From the preferred source, table of contents,
  preface, program notes, home page, other
  components in the resource
• Assume it is a collaboration if
• you have no indication who created what
• you are in doubt

46
Commentary, Etc., Added to a Previously Existing
Work 6.27.1.6

• If presented as the work of the entity
  responsible for the commentary, etc.
• construct the authorized access point by
  combining
• the authorized access point representing the
  entity responsible for the commentary, and
• the preferred title for the commentary.
• Example
• Akram, Malik M. Comprehensive and exhaustive
  commentary on the Transfer of Property Act, 1882
• (A commentary by Akram that includes the text of
  the law and its amendments)
• If more than one person is responsible for the
  added commentary, etc., apply the instructions on
  collaborative works

47
Commentary, Etc., Added to a Previously Existing
Work 6.27.1.6

• If presented as an edition, treat it as an
  expression
• use the authorized access point representing the
  previously existing work
• If it is considered important for identification,
  construct an authorized access point representing
  the expression
• Example
• Joyce, James, 18821941. Dubliners
• (Resource described James Joyces Dubliners
  an illustrated edition with annotations / edited
  by John Wyse Jackson Bernard McGinley)

48
Additions to Access Points Representing Works

• Reminder on how to formulate the Authorized
  Access Point
• Start with preferred title
• Precede by creator, if appropriate
• Addition(s) to make it distinct
• RDA 6.27.1.9
• Each possible addition discussed further in
  earlier provisions of chapter 6

49
Additions to Access Points Representing Works

• Form of work (6.3)
• Date of the work (6.4)
• Place of origin of the work (6.5)
• Another distinguishing characteristic of the work
  (6.6)

• no priority order
• can give more than one if needed

50
Additions to Access Points Representing Works --
LCPS 6.27.1.9

• Differentiating all works
• Specific guidelines for categories of resources
• Generally
• catalog the file against which cataloging is
  being done may also take into account any
  resource which is known
• use the a.a.p. whenever the resource is referred
  to in other a.p.s (including subjects) or in
  notes citing relationships between resources
• resolve the conflict by making an addition to the
  a.a.p. in the bibliographic record being created
  do not also modify the existing record
• do not predict a conflict
• when a resource is republished or reproduced, the
  a.a.p. for the original is used for any
  republication

51
Additions to Access Points Representing Works --
LCPS 6.27.1.9

• with a parenthetical qualifier
• Choice of qualifying term Use judgment.
• corporate body
• date of publication
• descriptive data elements, e.g., edition
  statement
• place of publication
• any word(s) that will serve to distinguish the
  works
• more than one qualifier if needed

list not prescriptive, not in priority order
52
Additions to Access Points Representing Works --
LCPS 6.27.1.9

• Form of qualifying term
• Corporate body use the authorized access point
• Place of publication use the authorized access
  point without any catalogers addition
• Multiple qualifiers separate the qualifiers with
  a space-colon-space within one set of parentheses

53
Additions to Access Points --Examples

• Advocate (Boise, Idaho)
• Advocate (Nairobi, Kenya)

distinguish with place
Dublin magazine (1762) Dublin magazine (1965)
distinguish with date

• Bulletin (New York State Museum 1945)
• Bulletin (New York State Museum 1976)
• use of two qualifiers
• (corporate body and date)

54
Additions to Access Points -- Form of Work (RDA
6.3)

• CORE ELEMENT when needed to differentiate
• class or genre to which a work belongs
• Take from any source
• No controlled vocabulary
• Added after preferred title in parentheses

130 0 a Chanson de Roland (Poem)
55
Additions to Access Points -- Date of Work (RDA
6.3)

245 00 a Renaissance history b a re-
examination.
57
Additions to Access Points --Other
Distinguishing Characteristic (RDA 6.6)

• CORE ELEMENT when needed to differentiate
• a characteristic other than form of work, date
  of work, or place of origin of the work that
  serves to differentiate a work from another work
  or from the name of a person, family, or
  corporate body
• Take from any source
• In established form
• Added after preferred title in parentheses

58
Variant Access Points for WorksRDA 6.27.4.1 -
6.27.4.4

• General principle use a variant title for the
  work as the basis for a variant access point.
• Example
• Authorized access point for the work
• Dickens, Charles, 18121870. Pickwick papers
• Variant access point for the work
• Dickens, Charles, 18121870. Posthumous papers of
  the Pickwick Club

59
Variant Access Points for Works(cont.)

• RDA also allows a variant access point, using
  just the preferred title, and formulated using
  other creators (e.g., collaborators not chosen as
  the principal creator).
• Example
• Authorized access point for the work
• Christo, 1935 . Wrapped Reichstag.
• Variant access point for the work
• Jeanne-Claude, 1935 . Wrapped Reichstag
• (A work of art created jointly by Christo and
  Jeanne-Claude variant access point considered
  important for subject access)

60
Variant Access Points for Works(cont.)

• LC Policy Apply cataloger judgment
• Consider user needs
• LC does not create or maintain SARs
• LCPS 6.27.4

61
MARC Authority Fields for Works

64
Unit 4 Elements for Expressions

• Expression the FRBR Entity
• Naming the Expression
• Authorized Access Point Representing an
  Expression
• Additions to Authorized Access Points for
  Expressions
• Variant Access Points for Expressions
• MARC Authority Fields for Expressions

65
Expression the FRBR Entity

• the way in which a work (the idea in the
  creators mind) is expressed
• through
• Language
• Sound
• Movement
• Performance
• etc.

66
Naming the Expression Similar to Naming the
Work

• Same as AACR2 concept of main entry if the
  manifestation contains that expression
• Forms of authorized access points are according
  to RDA chapter 6
• Appendix E and LCPS 1.7.1 for punctuation, etc.
• Authorized access points are used in
  bibliographic records to identify the expression
  being cataloged also as 6XX and 7XX to represent
  relationships to other expressions

67
LC Policies Bibliographic or Authority?

• Always identify the expression by giving
  information in the bibliographic record
• sometimes (see DCM Z1) also identify the
  expression by making a title or name/title
  authority record
• Authorized access points are used in other
  authority records as 5XX fields (relationships to
  other expressions) for treaties and in cases of
  cataloger judgment

68
LC Policies Three Categories

• LCPS 6.27.3
• Identify these expressions by using an authorized
  access point
• 1. Music resources (RDA 6.28.3)
• 2. Sacred scriptures (RDA 6.30.3)
• 3. Translations and language editions

69
LC Policies Other Expressions

• For expressions in other categories, LC will
  include the identifying expression attributes in
  other fields in the bibliographic record
• Date of expression (often the date of
  manifestation in 264 field is used)
• Content type in 336 field

70
LC Policies NARs

• No existing NAR
• Do not add another characteristic to
  differentiate one expression from another
• e.g., do not differentiate one translation of
  Hamlet in French from another French translation
• Already an AACR2 NAR
• If only one expression represented by NAR
• Use the form in the NAR
• If more than one expression represented by NAR
• Do not use that form in your bibliographic 7XX
  field
• Instead, give separate access points for each
  expression in the bibliographic record 7XX fields
  
• Already an RDA NAR
• Use it in your bibliographic record, even if it
  includes an additional expression attribute LC
  wouldnt include

71
Contributors

• contributing to the realization of a work
  through an expression
• Chapter 20
• Editors, translators, illustrators, arrangers of
  music, performers, writers of commentary, and
  others
• Appendix I.3.1 for relationship designators
• CORE ELEMENT for LC for illustrators of resources
  intended for children

72
Authorized Access Point Representing an Expression

• Not Title of an Expression
• Title of Expression doesnt exist in the
  FRBR/FRAD conceptual models
• 6.27.3 Constructing the Access Point
• Authorized access point for the work is the basis
• Additions to the authorized access point for the
  work

73
Additions to the Authorized Access Point for the
Expression

• 6.9 content type
• 6.10 date of the expression
• 6.11 language of the expression
• 6.12 another distinguishing
• characteristic of the expression

and/or
if needed to differentiate
74
Additions to Access Points for Expressions --
Content Type

• RDA 6.9
• CORE ELEMENT when needed to differentiate
• fundamental form of communication in which the
  content is expressed and the human sense through
  which it is intended to be perceived ...
• Take from any source
• Controlled vocabulary in RDA 6.9.1.3
• Access point in subfield h

130 a ____________ h Spoken word For the
audiobook of a printed text
75
Content Type Recorded in 336 Field

• New records
• One content type present in ILS templates
• Existing records
• One content type added by macro
• May add another field if appropriate
• Use 3 if multiple components and term does not
  apply to all
