Issues to Address with Systems Patty Falk Title: Music Catalog and Metadata Librarian Bowling Green State University pkfalk@bgsu.edu
Issues to Address with Systems Staff •Work with cataloging staff and Systems Staff together •Find out what your vendor is doing for RDA •Review indexing and display configurations •Add new MARC 21 fields (i.e. 336, 337, 338, etc.) •Make changes in validation tables •Create new macros •Configure import and export profiles to include new fields
Issues to Address with Systems Staff-continued •Test online system to see that all the mechanisms are in place •Determine what you want to display and what you want suppressed from the public •Determine if you want to change field names to reflect RDA changes •76X-78X fields will display for reproductions of original
Implementation of RDA at BGSU •Catalogers met regularly and trained in RDA together using LC webinars •Catalogers created local policies for changes in RDA and brought to appropriate library groups to share and discuss before presenting to all library staff •Catalogers worked with systems staff to address suppression of 33x fields until different wording can be created by statewide consortium cataloging group (OhioLINK group)-this would only confuse patrons and other staff as it currently reads
Authority Records in RDA •New fields have been added to RDA authority records with some very specific to music including: •382-medium of performance •383-numeric designation of music work •384-key
Authority Records in RDA •Personal name example with 38x fields
Authority Record Examples •Musical group examples
