Principles of RDA
• Transcribe what you see• Take what you get– Fewer abbreviations, more words– Misspellings transcribed as written, then
explained in a note or an alternate title (246 field)– Cataloger doesn’t add extra information if it
doesn’t appear on the piece• Example of AACR extra info: 260 Columbus [Ohio]
Caution: some changes in RDA will look like errors

Access points
Some RDA rules would affect NACO authority records. Bible: “O.T.” and “N.T.” dropped if specific
books are named--split files result; if specific book is not named, use Bible. Old Testament; Bible. New Testament.
Dept. to DepartmentOCLC will make global changes to these
headings if RDA adopted.
