5 What s changed Areas that have changed: Preferred sources of information How franchise titles are recorded Recording 34X and 380 fields

6 What s changed (sort of): Preferred sources of information

7 Preferred sources of information Ideally (still the preferred source, per RDA): Title screen(s) or title frame(s) Realistically (per OLAC best practice, if there s not time or equipment to view title screens or frames): Disc label Container or accompanying material Internal source, i.e., disc menu Include a source of title note (MARC tag 500)

8 What s changed: Recording franchise titles

9 What s a franchise? From Wikipedia: A collection of related films in succession that share the same fictional universe, or are marketed as a series.

10 Some franchise examples

11 Recording franchise titles OLAC best practice recommendation: Record the franchise title and the number and/or specific title as part of the title proper (245 subfield a), adding a colon after the franchise title for clarity. Do not put a space in front of the colon. Only record a title as other title information (245 subfield b) if it is clearly secondary to the title information and is not necessary to distinguish the title from other titles in the franchise.

12 Recording franchise titles-- Examples ǂaThe hunger games: Catching fire ǂaCatching fire 246 1_ ǂiTitle on container spine:ǂahunger games ǂaThe librarian: Quest for the spear ǂaQuest for the spear

16 What s changed: Recording 34X and 380 fields

17 MARC tags 34X and Physical medium 344 Sound characteristics 346 Video characteristics 347 Digital file characteristics 380 Form of work

18 Recording 34X fields general guidelines Record each term in a separate 34X field (per OCLC) Controlled vocabulary terms now come from lists on the RDA Registry website, rather than the RDA Toolkit Links to lists can be found in the Bibliographic Formats and Standards entry for the field and subfield Enter the code for the list in ǂ2 Not every term is included on an RDA Registry list If using a term not on a controlled list, omit ǂ2

19 Recording 34X fields copy cataloging When copy cataloging, add fields as needed If multiple terms are present in one field, split into separate fields with appropriate code in ǂ2 if applicable Before: 344 ǂadigitalǂbopticalǂgsurroundǂhDolby Digital 2.0ǂ2rda After: 344 ǂadigitalǂ2rdatr 344 ǂbopticalǂ2rdarm 344 ǂgsurroundǂ2rdacpc 344 ǂhDolby Digital 2.0

20 Example of an RDA Registry vocabulary Use this code in ǂ2

21 Physical medium 340 Use to record type of color content, recording technique (in some instances), and dimensions (optional) Subfield g Color content Include in addition to 300 ǂb If your item says monochrome or polychrome, include ǂ2 with code rdacc If these terms are not stated, use color or black and white as applicable; omit ǂ2 Add this field if not already present 300 ǂa1 videodisc :ǂbcolor ;ǂcc4 ¾ in. 340 ǂgcolor

22 Physical medium 340 cont. Subfield d Information recording technique Include if your item is a recordable disc (i.e., DVD- R) Use controlled vocabulary term burning; record code rdapm in ǂ2 340 ǂdburningǂ2rdapm Not required if your item is a commercially produced disc When editing in OCLC, may be retained if already present (controlled vocabulary term is stamping)

23 Physical medium 340 cont. Subfield b Dimensions (Optional) Record dimensions in 300 ǂc; optional to also record in 340 ǂb No controlled vocabulary applies; omit ǂ2 When editing in OCLC, don t need to add; may be retained if already present 340 ǂb4 ¾ in.

24 Sound characteristics 344 Use to record type of recording, recording medium, playing speed, configuration of playback channels, special playback characteristics, etc. Use in addition to general term sound or silent in 300 ǂb If term is from a controlled RDA Registry list, include code for the list in ǂ2 If term is not from an RDA Registry list, omit ǂ2 344 ǂadigitalǂ2rdatr 344 ǂbopticalǂ2rdarm 344 ǂgsurroundǂ2rdacpc 344 ǂhDolby Digital 2.0

25 Video characteristics 346 Use to record video format and broadcast standard If term is from a controlled RDA Registry list, include code for the list in ǂ2 If term is not from an RDA Registry list, omit ǂ2 346 ǂbNTSCǂ2rdabs

26 Digital file characteristics 347 Use to record file type, encoding format, file size, regional encoding, etc. If term is from a controlled RDA Registry list, include code for the list in ǂ2 If term is not from an RDA Registry list, omit ǂ2 If your item is coded for Region C, term must be qualified by (Blu-ray) 347 ǂavideo fileǂ2rdaft 347 ǂbDVD video 347 ǂeregion 1ǂ2rdare 347 ǂeregion C (Blu-ray)ǂ2rdare

27 Form of work 380 Use to record a class or genre to which a work belongs Use the most general term (i.e., Motion pictures, not Science fiction films) Use an LCGFT term where possible Capitalize the first word Disregard error message in MARC Report 380 ǂaTelevision programsǂ2lcgft 380 ǂaMotion picturesǂ2lcgft 380 ǂaMade-for-TV moviesǂ2lcgft
