SCCTPBASIC SERIALS CATALOGING WORKSHOP Serials Cooperative Cataloging Training Program (SCCTP) Presenters:
1: Background, Objectives, Organization • Context of the workshop • FRBR as Foundation of RDA • Overview of RDA • Goals of the workshop • Outline of modules content • Overview of workshop schedule
Context of the Workshop • Standardized cataloging • Descriptive cataloging tools • RDA Implementation • Serials and serial cataloging
Descriptive Cataloging Tools • RDA (Resource Description & Access) • LC-PCC PS (Library of Congress-Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Statements) • MARC & ISBD • PCC Task Group Reports: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/RDA%20Task%20Groups.html • CONSER Cataloging Manual & CONSER Editing Guide • RDA CONSER Documentation: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/issues/CSR.html
FRBR as Foundation of RDA • Closely tied to FRBR/FRAD concepts • International Cataloging Principles
FRBR as a Foundation of RDA • Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR; 1998) • Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD; 2009) Entities, attributes, relationships, user tasks
ICP “informs” RDA Principles • Convenience of the user • Representation • Common usage • Accuracy • Sufficiency and necessity • Significance • Economy • Consistency and standardization • Integration • Defensible, not arbitrary
Relationship of FRBR to RDA • FRBR offers a structure to address user tasks • FRBR attributes translate into RDA data elements • RDA combines FRBR conceptual model with cataloging principles FRBR is not a cataloging code -- but it shows the benefit of a code based on FRBR
Overview of RDA • RDA: What it is • RDA: Structure
RDA: What it is • Content standard • Not … • A display standard • An encoding standard • ‘Schema-neutral’ • Can use • MARC 21 • Dublin Core • etc.
RDA: What it is • More international • Focus on local user needs • Agencies can make decisions regarding • Language of additions to access points • Language of supplied data • Script and transliteration • Calendar • Numeric system
RDA: What it is • Wider scope of resources • Reflect what’s being acquired in libraries • non-printed text resources • non-text resources • unpublished resources • Defers to specialist manuals of some collaborative communities
RDA: What it is • Authority data • Based on attributes and relationships in FRAD • Authority elements, for now, are documented in authority records
RDA: What it is • Controlled vocabularies • Only a few are closed lists • Content type • Media type • Carrier type • Mode of issuance • Most are open lists • Cataloger can supply term if not in list • Vocabularies are available on the Web • http://metadataregistry.org/rdabrowse.htm
RDA: Structure • Table of Contents • General introduction • Entities and their attributes • Group 1 (Chapters 1-7) • Group 2 (Chapters 8-16) • Relationships: chapters 17-22, 24-32 • Appendices • Glossary • Index
RDA: Structure • Principles applicable to all resources • Not separate chapters for formats (e.g., books, maps, printed music, etc.) • Identify and relate user tasks • Elements addressed separately • To assemble elements when needed (e.g., in authorized access points, see the instructions at the end of chapters 6, 9-11)
RDA: Structure • Read purposefully, not linearly • Keyword searches • Follow links • Jump directly from Table of Contents • Some duplication of content
RDA: Structure • Core-ness • Based on attributes mandatory for a national level record (FRBR/FRAD) • Defined at the element level • Always • “Core if” – situation described • “The element must be recorded if known” • PCC has identified additional elements as core • Indicated in LC-PCC Policy Statements (LC-PCC PS) Title ProperCOREELEMENT Later Title ProperCORE ELEMENT FOR LC/PCC
RDA: Structure • Alternatives, Options, and Exceptions • Clearly labeled in the Toolkit by green legends and vertical bars • Alternatives to an instruction • Options • Additional data • Omission of data • “agency preparing …” instructions
LC-PCC Policy Statements • To facilitate standard interpretation and application • Jointly crafted by LC and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging • “PCC is an international cooperative effort aimed at expanding access to library collections by providing useful, timely, and cost-effective cataloging that meets mutually-accepted standards of libraries around the world” • BIBCO, CONSER, NACO, SACO http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/
MARC • Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) • “Markup language for catalogers” • Understanding MARC Bibliographic • http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/ • Online resource for learning about MARC • Source for the brief overview that follows
ISBD • International Standard Bibliographic Description • 1974 • “Internationally accepted framework” • Goal: result in records that are convertible into machine-readable form • Assigned an order to the elements • System of punctuation
FRBR vs. RDA vs. MARC • FRBR is a conceptual model • RDA is a cataloging standard based on the FRBR conceptual model • MARC is an encoding scheme by which computers exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information
RDA Implementation Three potential implementation scenarios for RDA data • Scenario 1: Relational / object-oriented database structure • Scenario 2: Linked bibliographic and authority records • Scenario 3: ‘Flat file’ database structure (no links) http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/5editor2.pdf
RDA Implementation Current library environment • Data will still be ambiguous • Standards • RDA • LC-PCC PS • MARC • ISBD • CONSER core elements • OCLC or other utility • Local standards, practices, etc.
Goals for the Workshop • Understand the concept of continuing resources • Identify serials and distinguish them from monographs and integrating resources • Apply RDA instructions for description of serials • Understand RDA CONSER standard record (CSR)
Goals for the Workshop • Become familiar with MARC tags used for serials • Create original serials cataloging records • Identify appropriate serial copy and needed edits • Current conventions and practices • Useful cataloging tools
Outline of the Workshop Sessions • Background, Objectives and Organization • Serials and Serial Cataloging • Cataloging Preliminaries & Generals • Describing Manifestations • Describing Carriers and Content • Describing Works and Expressions
Outline of the Workshop Sessions • Basics of RDA Relationships for Serials • Working with Copy: Finding Appropriate Records • Working with Copy (Maintaining Records) • When Do I Need a New Description?
