+ | **Background** | ||
+ | |||
+ | In April 2013, the PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging) released its final report on editing copied AACR records after RDA implementation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Link: \\ | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | In that report, PCC outlines both acceptable manual edits that will add RDA elements to copied AACR records and “Candidates For Machine Conversion Of Bibliographic Data Post-Rda Implementation Recommended Conversions” (p. 19-20) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Based on those recommendations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | “Anticipated changes include, but are not limited to: | ||
+ | *Adding 336, 337, 338 fields | ||
+ | *Spelling out non-transcribed abbreviations in 255, 300, 500, 504 and other fields | ||
+ | *Converting Latin abbreviations to English equivalents in 245, 260, and other fields | ||
+ | *Converting dissertation notes in 502 field to multiple subfields | ||
+ | *Removing GMDs (after 31 March 2016) | ||
+ | *Heading changes in accordance with RDA” | ||
+ | |||
+ | The bottom line is that it is no longer feasible or logical for catalogers to insist on keeping AACR records ‘pure’. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **MARC Report 240** | ||
+ | |||
+ | In our February 2013 MARC Report update (version 240), we added a long list of cataloging checks for possible RDA errors, and a shorter list of checks for newly possible AACR errors (for those catalogers who indicated that they wanted to keep doing ‘proper’ AACR). | ||
+ | |||
+ | This was before we learned about the PCC recommendations to hybridize AACR records for consistency with the new instructions. | ||
