For Librarians

Collocation

Better organization to catalog

Easier cataloging

Reduction in cataloging load

Work only cataloged once for all expressions under it

Expression only cataloged once for all manifestations under it

Item cataloging (already simple) remains the same

FRBR Benefits

Greater Benefits For Users

Collocation

Easier to find information

Single search retrieves all related materials even if cataloged in different languages or different subject headings

Easier to see the different expressions of a single work

Gives a better global picture

Easier to find all manifestations

FRBR Benefits

Circulation: Place holds at “Work” or

“Expression” level rather than only at

manifestation level

FRBR Benefits

Internet

Catalogs are no longer

the end points in isolation Global access to data

Integrate bibliographic data with wider Internet environment Share data beyond institutions

Internet “Cloud”

Web frontend

ServicesVIAF

Databases, Repositories

Current Cataloging Environment Web-based

Wide range of information carriers complexity of content

Metadata (bibliographic information) Created by a wider range of personnel in

and outside libraries Element-based metadata schemas

Dublin Core, ONIX, etc.

What’s wrong with AACR? Increasingly complex Lack of logical structure Mixing content and carrier data Hierarchical relationships missing Anglo-American centric viewpoint Written before FRBR Not enough support for collocation Before Internet and well-formed metadata

GOALS: RDA will be …

A new standard for resource description and access

Designed for the digital world• Optimized for use as an online product• Description and access of all resources

• All types of content and media

• Resulting records usable in the digital environment (Internet, Web OPACs, etc.)

RDA – The Goals Rules should be easy to use and interpret Be applicable to an online, networked

environment Provide effective bibliographic control for all types

of media Encourage use beyond the library community Be compatible with other similar standards Have a logical structure based on internationally

agreed principles Separate content and carrier data Examples – more of them, more appropriate

Glossary Index

General Principles (ICP)• Convenience of user

• Representation

• Common usage

• Accuracy

• Sufficiency and necessity

• Significance

• Economy

• Consistency and Standardization

• Integration

• Defensible, not arbitrary

• If contradict, take a defensible, practical solution.

Transcription – Principle of Representation in RDA

“Take what you see” Correction of inaccuracies elsewhereNo more abbreviating

Accept what you getFacilitating automated data capture

Sample Changes from AACR2

Transcribed data (macros and templates)Option to keep rule of 3

e.g., “[and five others]” – no more “… et. al.”

First place of publication is “core”“Place of publication not identified” – not “s.l.”“Publisher not identified” – not “s.n.”“Date of publication not identified”

Summary User-oriented models (FRBR/FRAD)

Collocate works/expressions Identify resources through specific

elements (attributes) and relationships Internationalization

Cost reduction through increased sharing of data

Across information communities

Summary Principle-based rules (ICP)

Cataloger’s judgment (Best for users)Take what you see for transcribed data

(Representation) Facilitate harvesting and sharing of

descriptive metadataLess rigid, more flexible

Add controlled vocabularies for precision of searching
