June 2012 LC catalogers begin training June 2012 NACO RDA training begins September 2012 –
◦ a pool of 50-60 LC cataloguers will be working with RDA
March 31st, 2013 ◦ Library of Congress fully implements RDA
March 31st, 2013 ◦ PCC Day One for RDA Authorities on all records
RDA Implementation Timelines

Parallels with AACR2 adoptionAACR2 RDA
Published 1978, adopted 1981
Online catalogues were still in their infancySevere economic constraints facing librariesLimited acceptance at outset in library communityPossibility of closing card catalogues to facilitate adoption of new code
Published 2010, adopted 2013
Clear successor to MARC has not emergedSevere economic constraints facing librariesLimited acceptance at outset in library communitySome movement away from local catalogues to hosted/shared solutions

“The preeminent cataloger, Seymour Lubetzky, called AACR2 “inconsistent with the traditions of Anglo-American cataloging, a misguided effort.” American Libraries, June 1980
“AACR2 – why is it being adopted? It will only cost libraries money…” American Libraries editorial, July 1980
“… the practical result of their theoretical approach promises to be the biggest disaster to hit descriptive cataloguing since the draft rules of 1941 …” Michael Gorman 2007
Critics
![Page 6: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Too many options will mean less consistency
No comprehensive study of end-users had taken place
Library administrators were not consulted Automated systems were still in their
infancy Massive revisions to authority files needed Lack of authority control in local catalogues Benefits unclear Too expensive too implement
Key concerns when AACR2 arrived
![Page 7: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Too many options for application of standard will reduce consistency and impair shared cataloguing
Abandoning ISBD will mean no display standard Systems cannot act on any of the new data
elements MARC replacement not ready Benefits to end-user seem minor or a long way off Smaller libraries cannot afford to adopt
Key concerns with RDA
![Page 8: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Transition to a new code takes time Not all libraries will adopt on same timeline Hybrid records can create confusion around
changes to the rules Authority files must be fully converted to
new code
Lessons from the past
![Page 9: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Checklist for RDA Implementation
Update MARC 21 formats in ILS Determine current role of gmd in limiting & displays Decide on display and indexing of new fields Set local policy for RDA Core element set Set local policy for RDA alternatives and options Decide on handling of authority record creation and
authority processing options Create policies for editing AACR2 records Train staff on FRBR model Train staff on RDA

GMD vs Content type, Media type, Carrier type Relationship designators in $e, $i Few abbreviations, new transcription conventions Data elements moved to discrete fields
◦ 380 Form of work, 382 medium of performance New fields in authority records – 623 field of
activity, 624 affiliation, 625 occupation New format codes in fixed fields Change to authority heading structure for Bible
and Qu’ran, some personal names, treaties, uniform titles
Main differences in data

Goals of RDA included compatibility with legacy records
Massive global changes to AACR2 records should not be necessary
Key issues will be◦ Preserving integrity of search and display for
format◦ compatibility of AACR2 headings with RDA forms
What to do with legacy records?
![Page 15: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consistency – for input, for end user Consistency - across the database for
searching, limiting, faceting Clear displays of new data elements Guidelines for editing RDA records until RDA
adopted Guidelines for editing AACR2 records once
RDA adopted Ability to automate desired changes
Key considerations

Task Group on AACR2 & RDA Acceptable Heading Categories: Final report (Sept. 1, 2011)
PCC Day One for RDA Authority Records (December 20, 2011, updated March 23, 2012)
Watch for more guidance from this group!
Program for Cooperative Cataloging
![Page 17: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Policy on Hybrid Records – Interim period PCC recommends that AACR2 PCC records
generally not be re-cataloged to RDA If record is to be converted to RDA all elements
must be evaluated and the resulting record coded as RDA
Have published guidelines for editing records in various formats
These guidelines are only for interim period and may be changed post March 2013
PCC Recommendations
![Page 18: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Do not mix AACR2 and RDA conventions within the body of the description
Do add new RDA elements to aid retrieval and build consistency into the future
Add elements that will improve access just as we do now
Avoid removing data that could be useful in the future – suppress it instead
If re-coding to RDA evaluate every field and heading
Best practices
![Page 19: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is possible What is practical What is absolutely necessary
What type of in-house expertise do you have?
Can you afford to send your records out for revision?
Do you receive updated records via authorities processing?
Global edits

A. New records in RDA; existing records left alone
B. New records in RDA; minor modifications to existing records
C. New records in RDA; major modifications to existing records
What to do? Bibliographic
![Page 21: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A. New records in RDA; existing records left alone.
• RDA records with 3XX tags, majority with gmd
• RDA records with relationship designators; majority of
AACR2 records will not
• RDA records will have few abbreviations, AACR2 records
will contain standard abbreviations
What to do? Bibliographic
![Page 22: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
B. New records in RDA; some modifications to legacy AACR2 records
• RDA records with 3XX tags• Modify AACR2 records to add 3XX tags; suppress or
remove gmd• RDA records with relationship designators• Add designators to AACR2 records if editing for other
reasons• RDA records will have fewer abbreviations
• Leave as is

C. New records in RDA; major changes to bring existing records to RDA-like state.
• RDA records with 3XX tags, add 3XX tags to legacy records
• Convert standard abbreviations to spelled out forms
• Convert Latin abbreviations to spelled out forms
• Migrate standard form notes to new 38X tags
What to do? Bibliographic

Incorporating RDA practices into WorldCatA Discussion Paper
http://www.oclc.org/rda/discussion.htm• Proposing to modify AACR2 records to bring as
close as possible to RDA records• Rationale: • Legacy records need to made as functional as possible
in future RDA environment• cataloguers would not need to know both sets of rules
when working with legacy records• Treating various records differently would require
additional program logic
OCLC’s plans
![Page 25: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Proposed policy Will develop programming to
◦ add 336, 337, 338 fields to all records and remove subfield $h;
◦ convert abbreviations in non-transcribed elements to spelled out forms
◦ convert Latin abbreviations to spelled out non-Latin forms
Catalogers may recatalog items as RDA & add the designation in 040 $e rda
Catalogers may update individual fields in pre-RDA records to reflect RDA practice – the record would retain the indication of the rules under which it was initially cataloged
OCLC’s plans

Let it go - suppress from display or remove Move it Move 336-337 into GMD position Aid the user by making use of common terms in 300
◦ 1 DVD◦ 1 CD
IMPACT on end user?Does ILS uses gmd for limiting?Can ILS use fixed field coding and/or item types
for limiting?Is there clear indication of format on summary
displays and full displays?
What to do with the GMD?

Leave them alone Make global changes
◦ CAUTION May wish to restrict to non-transcribed fields AACR2 transcribed fields could include abbreviations
that were found on the piece RDA directs to transcribe as found; in some instances
this would be an abbreviated form Going forward it could become difficult to conclude
you were looking at the same edition as the one catalogued
What to do with abbreviations?

Add them wherever and whenever possible Internet Movie Database demonstrates the
value of this effort During transition –
◦ index but do not display until significant percentage of records contain them
◦ Display could break up collocation in browse lists◦ Display in full record but not in browse lists
What to do with relator codes?

Final report of the PCC Task Group on AACR2 & RDA Acceptable Heading Categories points out that the vast majority of existing AACR2 authority records are acceptable as RDA authority records.
Vast majority – 95% are AACR2 authority records whose 1XX field can be used under RDA
Two much smaller categories of existing AACR2 records will require machine or human manipulation to make them RDA acceptable.
Impact on Authorities
![Page 38: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Final report of the PCC Task Group on AACR2 & RDA Acceptable Heading Categories identifies three categories of existing headings: Headings that are acceptable under RDA
and can be used as-is 7,631,000 Headings that contain elements not
provided for under RDA. These must be evaluated and changed manually. 225,000
Headings that will be usable under RDA after some batch operations are performed by machine. 172,000
PCC Recommendations
![Page 39: AACR2 RDA Preparing OPACs for RDA records BC Library Conference 2012 Presenter: Linda Woodcock Technical Services Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b1868550346cf5a8b53dd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Before PCC “Day One” for RDA Authority Records, March 31, 2013, all three categories of AACR2 headings identified in the Final report of the PCC Task Group on AACR2 & RDA Acceptable Heading Categories may be used in either RDA or AACR2 records.
After “Day One”, March 31, 2013, catalogers will need to manually evaluate and recode the category of AACR2 records that are not RDA acceptable as is and can’t be converted by machine processing.
PCC Recommendations

April 25, 2012 - PCC Policy Committee supported the recommendation of the PCC Acceptable Headings Implementation Task Group
to proceed with Alternate Scenario 3 for the redistribution of records in the LC/NACO Authority File in preparation for PCC Day One for Authority Records, March 31, 2012.
PCC Recommendations

Consists of two phases1. Records whose 1XX is not suitable for use under
RDA without review and are not susceptible to RDA-related mechanical change are reissued with identifying 667 field
2. Records containing a field susceptible to an RDA-related mechanical change are reissued as close to Day 1 as possible
Records whose 1XX is suitable for use under RDA will not be re-coded as RDA at this time
Alternate Scenario 3
