Module 6


Outline and Objectives

• To identify works and expressions• Through:

– Recording preferred title & variant titles– Creating authorized access points– Identifying creators responsible for a work– Identifying core if needed elements for

works

Module 6

Outline and Objectives

– Identifying elements and core elements of expressions

– Identifying variant access points for works and expressions

– Examining RDA Authority Records (briefly)– Looking at content elements for works and

expressions

Module 6

Brenndorfer’s Step 4

4. Consider the content of the book. • Record the things that help people identify the content in the book. Use

preferred title [formerly "uniform title"], form of work, date of work, place of origin (see Ch. 16 to identify places), history of the work, content type, language of expression, identifiers, etc.

• End with the construction of the authorized access point for the work, with the other identifying elements going into new or existing MARC bibliographic or authority fields. Construct variant access points as required. Construct authorized access points for related works, such as series, as required.

• NOTE. The authorized access point for a work is often in the form of: authorized access point for person + preferred title. To construct the authorized access point for a person, see Ch. 9.

Module 6

MARC bibliographic record & FRBR: summary

1XX/240 = work/expression

245-260, 490 = manifestation

300 = work, expression, manifestation

5XX = work, expression, manifestation

700-730 = work, expression

760-787 = work, expression, manifestation

8XX = work, expression [& manifestation]

Module 6

Works and expressions

RDA 5.1.2:• Work refers to a distinct intellectual or artistic

creation (ie. Intellectual or artistic content)• Expression refers to the intellectual or

artistic realization of a work in the form of alpha-numeric, musical or choreographic notation, sound, image, object, movement, etc., or any combination of such forms.

Module 6

Identifying works & expressions• Also called “naming the work” and “naming the

expression”

• Same as AACR2 “main entry” if the manifestation contains that work/expression:

Bib. records:100/110/111 + 240100/110/111 + 245130245

Auth. records:100/110/111 $a $t100/110/111 $a $t130130

Module 6

Works Expressions

• Hemingway, Ernest, 1899–1961. Sun also rises

• Cassatt, Mary, 1844–1926. Children playing on the beach

• John Paul II, Pope, 1920–2005. Speeches

• Goncourt, Edmond de, 1822–1896. Frères Zemganno. English

• Pushkin, Aleksandr Sergeevich, 1799–1837. Evgeniĭ Onegin. English (Beck)

• Piave, Francesco Maria, 1810–1876. Ernani. Spanish

Module 6

Bibliographic or authority data?

• RDA does not prescribe if attributes about the work/expression and the access points are to be recorded as bibliographic data or authority data

• most libraries for some time will name the work/expression by giving the access point in the bibliographic record– May or may not make authority records

Module 6

Core elements to distinguish• If elements are being recorded to distinguish

one work from another or from the name of a person, family, or corporate body, RDA gives choices for recording the elements (RDA 0.6.4):

– either as additions to the authorized access point representing the work -- most libraries

– as separate elements in authority records -- sometimes

– as both -- cataloguer’s judgment or NACO policy even if not breaking conflict

Module 6

Language and script• Title for a work in the language and script in

which it appears in the resource – RDA 5.4– North America: in authorized and variant access

points: apply the alternative to give a transliterated form

– For some languages (see LCPS 5.4), can also give variant access points (MARC 4XX) in original language/script in authority records

• Other attributes for a work or expression in the language prescribed by RDA in chapter 6

Module 6

Terminology• Title of the work: “word, character, or group of

words and/or characters by which a work is known”

• Preferred title for the work:– For current implementations = the form of title used when

constructing the authorized access point

• Variant title for the work:– For current implementations = the form of title used when

constructing a variant access point (aka “see references”)

Module 6

Sources of information• Sources for preferred title for work (RDA

6.2.2.2):

– For a work created after 1500: from resources embodying the work or reference sources -- looking for the most common form of the title (process usually results in using the title proper of the first manifestation received)

– For a work created before 1501: from modern reference sources

Module 6

Sources of information

• If the evidence of modern reference sources is inconclusive for a work created before 1501, use (in this order of preference): a) modern editions b) early editions c) manuscript copies

• All other elements for works and expressions: any source

Module 6

Works: Authorized access points

• RDA 6.27.1-RDA 6.27.1.8: how to put together the elements to construct an authorized point [with links back to specific elements]– Preferred title is the basis– Authorized access point for the creator

preceding the preferred title as applicable– Additions to the preferred title as instructed

under 6.27.1.9 (no priority order)

Module 6

Additions to the preferred title (per RDA 6.27.1.9)

• 6.3: form of work *• 6.4: date of the work *• 6.5: place of origin of the work *

and/or• 6.6: another distinguishing characteristic of the work *

* = if need to distinguish

Module 6

Preferred title for the work

• General instructions for any type of title in RDA 6.2.1

• Specific instructions for preferred titles in 6.2.2:– parts (RDA 6.2.2.9)– compilations (RDA 6.2.2.10)– some musical works (RDA 6.14.2)– some legal works (RDA 6.19.2)– some religious works (RDA 6.23.2)– some official communications (RDA 6.26.2)

Module 6

Simultaneous publication: different titles in same language

• Choose the preferred title based on title of the resource first received (not the resource published in the home country)

U.K. volume received first: Walking in BritainU.S. volume received later: Day walks in Britain

Preferred title = Walking in Britain

Module 6

Simultaneous publication: different titles/languages

• No longer a priority order of languages – use title in resource first received

Serial published simultaneously in German andEnglish versions

German-language version received firstEnglish-language version received later

Preferred title = title from German-language version

Module 6

Preferred titles: parts of the Bible (RDA 6.23.2.9)

• Refer to the Old and New Testaments by their spelled-out forms (not “O.T.” and “N.T.”)

• Omit the name of the testament in the preferred title for individual books or groups of books

Module 6

Bible examples

130 $a Bible. $p New Testamentnot 130 $a Bible. $p N.T.

130 $a Bible. $p Genesis not 130 $a Bible. $p O.T. $p Genesis

130 $a Bible. $p Gospels not 130 $a Bible. $p N.T. $p Gospels

Module 6

Responsible entity related to work (i.e., Creator)

• RDA 0.6.3 and RDA 6.27.1: when creating the authorized access point for the work,

precede the preferred title for the work, if appropriate,

by the authorized access point representing the person, family, or corporate body responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of the work

Module 6

Chapter 19: entity responsible for a work

• Sources (RDA 19.1.1): – Preferred sources of information (RDA

2.2.2)– Other statements appearing prominently in

the resource– Information appearing only in the content– Other sources

Module 6

Creator (RDA 19.2)

• Creator = “person, family, or corporate body responsible for the creation of a work”– If more than one, only the creator having principal

responsibility named first in resource is required– If more than one and principal responsibility not

indicated, only the first-named creator is required

• Change from AACR2: no “rule of three” in RDA to name the work by its preferred title when there are more than three creators

Module 6

Collaborative works• For collaborative works, the creators may

perform the same or different roles (RDA 19.2.1)

– Choosing the first-named creator to name the work may mean that the result is not the same as applying the AACR2 rule due to the order of names on the source

– Some exceptions not to use the first-named creator: moving image resources (named by preferred title); some resources involving both persons and corporate bodies; most serials (per LCPS)

Module 6

Example: creators with principal responsibility

100 $a Kulchyski, Peter.245 $a The town that lost its name :$b the impact of hydroelectric development on Grand Rapids, Manitoba / $c by Peter Kulchyski and Ramona Neckoway with the assistance of Gerald McKay and Robert Buck. *700 $a Neckoway, Ramona.*700 $a McKay, Gerald.*700 $a Buck, Robert.

* number of access points for other creators: cataloguer judgment

Module 6

Example: creators with no principal responsibility indicated

100 $a Brown, Susan. 245 $a Architecture / $c by Susan Brown,

Melanie Carlson, Stephen Lindell, Kevin Ott, and Janet Wilson.

*700 $a Carlson, Melanie.*700 $a Lindell, Stephen.*700 $a Ott, Kevin.*700 $a Wilson, Janet.

* number of access points for other creators: cataloguer judgment

AACR2 record: no 1XX field

Module 6

Exercise #4

• Please refer to “Exercise #4” on your handout Exercise Worksheet for Module 6

Module 6

Corporate body as creator

• Categories of works given in RDA 19.2.1.1 (similar to AACR2 21.1B2)

• Includes government and religious officials for some categories of works

• Corporate body takes precedence over a first-named person or family as creator

Module 6

Compilation of works

• RDA: do not name the compilation by the first work in the compilation as AACR2 does in some situations, because doing so misidentifies the compilation (a work of works)

• Can give authorized access points for each work/expression

• If no collective title, alternative to devise a title proper (cataloguer’s judgment)

Module 6

Preferred title for compilations of one person, family, corporate

body• RDA 6.2.2.10

• Categories:– Complete works = use “Works”– Complete works in a single form = use

term chosen by cataloguer– Other compilations of two or more works in

same form or different forms = give preferred title for each work but ...

Module 6

Alternative: “Other compilations”

• Instead of or in addition to giving the preferred title for each work, use a conventional collective title, e.g.,:– Works. Selections– Posters. Selections– Orchestra music. Selections

• For music conventional collective titles, see RDA 6.14.2.8; for law, see RDA 6.19.2.5

Module 6

Compilation: 2 works, same creator

AACR2 (uses 1st work; misidentifies compilation):

100 1# $a Taylor, Drew, $d 1962-240 10 $a Toronto at Dreamer’s Rock245 10 $a Two one-act plays / $c Drew Taylor.505 0# $a Toronto at Dreamer’s Rock – Education is our right.700 12 $a Taylor, Drew, $d 1962-

work (subfielding will vary)

130 0# $a Ocean’s eleven (Motion picture : 2001)

110 2# $a ACE Aviation (Firm). $t Annual report (2005)

Module 6

Place of origin of the work (RDA 6.5)

• Scope = “country or other territorial jurisdiction from which a work originated” (includes local place)

130 0# $a Advocate (Fergus, Ont.)

Module 6

Other distinguishing characteristic of the work (RDA 6.6)

• Scope = “a characteristic other than form of work, date of work, or place of origin of the work that serves to differentiate a work from another work or from the name of a person, family, or corporate body”

• Core if needed to differentiate …• Access point: added to the preferred title for the


130 #0 $a Research paper (JJ Society)

Module 6

History of the work (RDA 6.7)

• Scope = “information pertaining to the history of a work”

• Not in authorized access point; most likely to be in authority record but could be in bibliographic record

Module 6

Core elements for musical works

• More flexibility and expanded scope:

– Medium of performance (RDA 6.15)– Numeric designation of a musical work (RDA

6.16)– Key (RDA 6.17)

Module 6

Elements for expressions

Reminder: work is expressed through language, sound, movement, etc.

and includes performances

Module 6

Title of an expression?

• No! -- A separate form of title doesn’t exist in the FRBR/FRAD models

• Instead (don’t worry!), build the access point for an expression by adding identifying attributes to the access point for the work (RDA 5.5/5.6)

Module 6

Expressions: Authorized access points

• RDA 6.27.3: how to put together the elements to construct an authorized point [with links back to specific elements]– Authorized access point for the work is the

basis– Additions to the authorized access point for

the work (no priority order)

Module 6

Additions to the authorized access point for the work

• 6.9: content type *• 6.10: date of the expression *• 6.11: language of the expression *

and/or• 6.12: another distinguishing characteristic

of the expression *

* = if need to distinguish

Module 6

Content type (RDA 6.9)

• Scope = “fundamental form of communication in which the content is expressed and the human sense through which it is intended to be perceived ...”

• Controlled vocabulary in RDA 6.9.1.3• Not in access point, but may be in 336 of the

authority record

Module 6

Date of expression (RDA 6.10)

• Scope = “earliest date associated with an expression”– May use date of the earliest manifestation

embodying the expression

• Core if needed to differentiate an expression of a work from another expression of the same work

• Access point: in subfield $f

100 1# $a Wilde, Oscar, $d 1854-1900. $t Works. $f 2000

Module 6

Language of expression (RDA 6.11)

• Scope = “language in which a work is expressed”

• Use term(s) from the MARC 21 list of languages

• Access point: subfield $l (not repeatable)

Module 6

Language of expression

• Careful: distinguish between

– a resource with one expression in more than one language;

– a resource with two or more expressions of the same work, each in different language(s)

Module 6

Resource with one expression

*041 1# $a eng $h fre 100 1# $a Brunhoff, Jean de, $d 1899-1937. 240 10 $a Babar en famille. $l English 245 10 $a Babar and his children.*546 ## $a English translation of the

author’s original French work.

* MARC fields 041 and 546 are Language of the content (RDA 7.12 -- see module 2).

Module 6

No longer using “Polyglot”

• Term does not help user search and identify specific languages; so:

– If separate expressions, name each expression in separate authorized access points

– If multiple languages in one expression, list each language (not “Polyglot”) if creating an authorized access point

Module 6

Multiple languages in one expression

• Example: a book of conference proceedings with each paper in one of four languages: English, French, German, and Spanish

– Give languages of content in MARC 041

240 $a Proceedings. $l English, French, German, & Spanish

Other distinguishing characteristic of the expression (RDA 6.12)

• Scope = “a characteristic other than content type, language of expression, or date of expression that serves to differentiate an expression from another expression of the same work”

• General instruction: RDA 6.12– Musical works (RDA 6.18)– Religious works (RDA 6.23)– Selections/excerpts from a larger work (RDA 6.12.1.4)

Module 6

Other distinguishing characteristic of the expression

• Core if needed to differentiate an expression of a work from another expression of the same work

• Access point: added to the authorized access point for the work

Module 6

Variant access points for works and expressions (RDA 6.27.4)

• In authority records per library policy or cataloguer judgment – if important for user to find or identify

• May be based on a variant title

• May be just a preferred title if authorized access point is a name/preferred title or vice versa

Module 6

Examples: variant access points

Module 6

Other changes from AACR2

1) Can give language of expression for a motion picture with subtitles (RDA 6.11.1.4)

2) Don’t abbreviate months used in preferred titles for treaties (no abbreviations for months in appendix B)

3) When using the name of a translator to identify a version of the Bible and there are more than two, use “and others” rather than “et al.” (RDA 6.25.1.4)

Module 6


4) A theological creed, confession of faith, etc., does not need to be accepted by one or more denominational bodies (RDA 6.30.1.4)

5) Possible to have a person as creator for some sacred scriptures (RDA 6.30.1.2)

6) Use “manuscript” rather than abbreviation “ms.” (RDA 6.30.4)

Module 6


7) No limit on number of authorized access points for collections of works by different persons, families, or corporate bodies

8) Librettos now are acknowledged as texts, not musical works; Variant access point in the name authority record for librettos: authorized access point for the musical work plus Libretto, Text, etc. (RDA 6.27.4.2)

Module 6


9) Performer(s) can be creator(s) if performances of musical works involved “substantial creative responsibility for adaptation, improvisation, etc.”

10) Variant access point in name authority records for cadenzas: authorized access point for the related work plus Cadenza (RDA 6.28.4.2)

Module 6


11)“arranged,” accompaniment,” and “unaccompanied” aren’t abbreviated when added to access points for musical works

12)Generally, for treaties, the first-named signatory is used when creating the authorized access point for the treaty regardless of the number of signatories (no more “rule of 3”); the choice also is no longer based on English alphabetic order of the authorized access point for the signatory

Module 6

Relationships

• Chapters 19 and 20 cover the relationships between people, families, and corporate bodies, and works and expressions. Examples:– Michelle Duval is the author of The work of childrearing– Johann Sebastian Bach composed The Goldberg

variations• RDA includes four appendices for relationships

between various types of entities– Appendix I covers relationships between a resource

and persons, families, or corporate bodies

Module 6

Core Relationships

• In RDA, most relationships between works or expressions, and persons, families, or corporate bodies, are not core and are therefore optional. Exceptions:– The primary or first-named creator of a resource– Other person, family, or corporate body associated

with a work, if they’re part of the authorized access point representing the work

Module 6

Relationship Designators

• You may also explicitly designate the nature of the relationship, e.g.:– author– illustrator– translator– editor

• Doing this is optional according to cataloguer judgment

Module 6

Relationship Designators: $e or $4

• Both the $e and $4 subfield are defined in MARC 21 for recording relationship designations, so which should you use?

• Either are okay, but LC doesn’t use $4

Module 6

Creators: relationship designators (appendix I.2)

100 1# $a Mankell, Henning, $d 1948- $e author.

100 1# $a Gould, Glenn, $d 1932-1982, $e composer.

was created (or first year in a range)$l: Last year in a range

• 370: Associated place$g: Place of origin of work

Cataloguer’s judgment or library policy to include any of these separate fields in authority records

Module 6

Module 6

• Please refer to Exercise #5 on your handout Exercise Worksheet for Module 6

Content Attributes

• Recording the attributes of works and expressions associated with the intellectual or artistic content of a resource

• User task: when selecting a resource based on content

• Sources of information: resource itself; for some elements, any source

• Elements recorded in the bibliographic record but not in authorized access points

Module 6

Brenndorfer’s Step 5

5. Consider the content of the book again.

Record the content characteristics that would help people in selecting this particular book. Use nature of contents, coverage of contents, intended audience, summary of content, illustrative content, details of language used to express contents, supplementary material (index, bibliography), colour content, awards, etc.

Module 6

Sample Content Attributes

• Nature of content 008/24-27; 500

– E.g., Field recording of birdsong• Intended audience 008/22; 521

– E.g., For children aged 7–9• Dissertation or thesis information 502
