PCC RDA BIBCO Standard Record (BSR ) Metadata Application Profile

1. PCC RDA BIBCO Standard Record (BSR) Metadata Application Profile PCC Participants MeetingALA Midwinter Seattle, WashingtonJanuary 27, 2013

2. Task Group • Textual Monographs Task Group Members: • Christopher Cronin (University of Chicago, Chair) • Rebecca Culbertson (University of California, San Diego) • Robert Maxwell (Brigham Young University) • Christee Pascale (North Carolina State University) • Dave Reser (Library of Congress)

3. Background on Process • Phase I – Textual Monographs • Began work on textual monographs, January 2012; submitted initial report to SCS on March 07, 2012 (http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/scs/documents/FinalReport-RDA-BSR-TextualMonos.pdf ). • Between March-May 2012, issued revised BSR based on comments from various PCC groups—Standing Committee on Standards, Policy Committee (PoCo), PCC/LC PSD RDA Policy Statements Group, Operations Committee meeting, and the PCC listserv

4. Background on Process • Maintain the existing concept of “floor,” as defined by the AACR2 BSR. • Use the LC RDA Core Elements document (December 23, 2011; http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/) as the basis for the BSR. • To the extent possible, not reverse RDA instructions. Instead, submit “fast track” proposals to change RDA.

5. Background on Process • Phase II: Integrate all other formats into a single BSR • Summer 2012: Standing Committee on Standards asked format-specific communities to identify ‘PCC Core’ elements for their domains: • archival collections • audio recordings • cartographic materials • electronic resources (if cataloged in the computer file format) • graphic materials • moving images • notated music • rare materials

6. Background on Process • October 2012 – integrated all formats into a single BSR • November 2012 – BSR reviewed and approved by PoCo with slight revisions; shared draft for community feedback through November 30 • January 1, 2013 – issued the final working draft of the RDA BSR for application by BIBCO libraries: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/scs/documents/PCC-RDA-BSR.pdf

7. Using the RDA BSR • BSR identifies the core elements for BIBCO – it is not a substitute for training • Use the BSR document in conjunction with the LC-PCC Policy Statements (LC-PCC-PSs) that are integrated into the RDA Toolkit. • When describing online resources, catalogers should also consult the PCC RDA Provider-Neutral guidelines. • When describing continuing resources, catalogers should consult the CONSER RDA core elements.

8. Organization of the BSR • Organized around a baseline of RDA elements, not MARC fields • ‘PCC Recommended’ elements have integrated into the whole, as opposed to being in a separate section • Includes Chapter 6 elements for now • For fixed field data, we split each format into separate tables to make it clearer how to code these data

9. Next Steps for BSR • Use it! • Process for further revisions: • Send suggestions and proposals for improvement to BIBCOmail@loc.gov • BIBCO will forward comments to Standing Committee on Standards, as appropriate

10. RDA Provider-Neutral Guidelines • Available at: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/scs/documents/PN-RDA-Combined.docx • Intended for online resources only • Merges monographs with serials & integrating resources into a single document • In contrast with the BSR, this set of guidelines is arranged in MARC tag order; it does however include the relevant RDA elements in a separate column

11. Thank you!
