These terms are more granular and less constrained than terminology currently prescribed for use in LCSH, and their use is encouraged in all bibliographic records where feasible.

Announcing Two New Best Practices Guides from OLAC CAPC!

 

The Online Audiovisual Catalogers Cataloging and Policy Committee (OLAC CAPC) is pleased to announce the publication of two Best Practice Guides – “Best Practices for Streaming Media Using RDA and MARC21” and “Best Practices for Cataloging DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs Using RDA and MARC21.”

 

In addition to the set of best practices, both documents include many in-line and full MARC record examples illustrating the best practices. The documents are accessible at the OLAC website (http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/?q=node/358). Direct links to each document:

 

DVD/Blu-ray Guide: http://olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/DVD_RDA_Guide.pdf

Streaming Media Guide: http://olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/Streaming_Media_RDA.pdf

 

Many thanks to the CAPC task forces that prepared these documents and to the task force advisors for their great assistance:

 

Streaming Media Task Force: Erminia Chao, Rebecca Culbertson, Jennifer Eustis, Cyrus Ford, Annie Glerum, Ngoc-My Guidarelli, Mary Huismann, Stacie Traill, Donna Viscuglia, Jeannette Ho (chair), and Jay Weitz (advisor).

From Casey:
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@gmail.com), BCC Chair.

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

With regard to the discussion of fictitious characters, it may be of interest to read the JSC proposal of June 5, 2015:

http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/6JSC-ALA-25-2015-06-draft.pdf

Fictitious characters are discussed on p. 8 (relationship designators and reciprocal relationships).

From Jay Weitz: At ALA Midwinter in Boston, I presented the PowerPoint “Cataloging Maps Defensively: ‘When to Input a New Record’ in the Age of DDR” to the Map and Geospatial Information Round Table (MAGIRT) Cataloging and Classification Committee. That PowerPoint is now linked from the OCLC “About RDA” page at http://www.oclc.org/rda/about.en.html. The Maps presentation itself may be found at http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/cataloging/cataloging-maps-defensively-2016.pptx. The MAGIRT Cartographic Resources Cataloging Interest Group has also invited me to present the Maps PowerPoint again to its larger audience at ALA Annual in Orlando in June.

From that OCLC “About RDA” page (http://www.oclc.org/rda/about.en.html) there is also a link to the more general 2010 “Cataloging Defensively: ‘When to Input a New Record’ in the Age of DDR” slides and recorded Webinar. It is my intention to create a series of “Cataloging Defensively” presentations for various specific types of bibliographic materials over the coming months. One on Sound Recordings is already in progress and will be presented at the Music OCLC Users Group (MOUG) meeting in Cincinnati in March. One on Videorecordings is scheduled to be presented at the Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC) membership meeting at ALA Annual in June.

FROM the Library of Congrees BIBFRAME listserve: The University of Washington conducted an experiment by creating an RDA input form with output in multiple RDF schemas. One goal, among others, was to demonstrate that RDA cataloging (input) can be easily output in multiple schemas using a processing pipeline and mappings.

This experiment was successful and output was achieved in RDA/RDF and BIBFRAME. The key is to use an intermediate format that is as fine-grained as the most detailed output, in this case RDA. We also showed that output in these schemas can be generated in an automated fashion using a pipeline.

The implication for future production cataloging systems is that input and output should not be directly tied to each other. Rather, a cataloging system should have sufficient flexibility to output in multiple schemas, which can be achieved in an automated way. This will facilitate the exchange of data at the level of granularity needed by different audiences.

In a linked data world, the technical environment is fundamentally different. In MARC, cataloging data are directly encoded in the carrier; in fact, part of a cataloger’s work is to encode the cataloging. Also, there is only one carrier. With linked data, there are more options: cataloging and carrier can and should be separate. Catalogers should focus on the creation of cataloging data and do not need to encode them in a schema. This can be done automatically in the background. Also, multiple schemas are easily used, and should be. For more details on the experiment, see http://www.lib.washington.edu/msd/pubcat/ld/input-form

Hi Joseph,

In case you would like to share this with the cataloging commission, I am attaching the MLA-CMC quarterly report that covers our activities between the MLA 2016 meeting and now. (I'LL POST IT UNDER REPORTS ON THIS WIKI-- JH)

Our website is still a bit of a work in progress (and we do not post the quarterly reports there, only the annual reports) but feel free to have a look at that as well and see our new rosters as well as information about our new linked data working group and the completed reports of the task forces on BIBFRAME and on genre/form.

Dear Colleagues,
Elections will be held for IAML’s Institutional and Subject Sections (previously Branches and Commissions) officers at the IAML congress in Riga (18-22 June). This is a good opportunity for those who want to play a more active role in the work of IAML. You are invited to indicate your interest by contacting me [secretary@iaml.info] during the spring, preferably not later than 4 weeks before the congress. However, further nominations may be presented up to the time of the elections. There will be a list of current nominees on the IAML website.
