There is an RDA Framework that should handle all these fields http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks I have one installed (an earlier version it seems, looks like I'd better update that). Our staff are supposed to check for those telltale RDA fields in downloads and use the appropriate template. On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 7:05 PM, Paul A <paul.a@navalmarinearchive.com> wrote:
On a sort of related point, our cataloguers have recently brought to my attention the "new" RDA "264 - Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice" field, which some of the Z39.50 imports appear to be using *instead of* 260 -- they tell me they're seeing it more and more often.
264 does not exist in Default framework (therefore in no others) so they are having to manually copy the data fields.
Has anyone looked into this? Any thoughts of how best for Koha to deal with it?
Thanks -- Paul

Hi, Elaine--
Cataloging rules change, and IMNSHO, "old" doesn't mean "wrong." We have records in our catalog that are perfectly correct ISBD, AACR, AACR2 and now RDA, and they all seem to exist together happily! Retroactively trying to change catalog records from one cataloging rule set to another could be problematic, since the rules for what data must be transcribed from the item, and how, can differ greatly. We are a museum library, though, and so may be paying greater attention to visualizing the exact nature of the item from the cataloging record than most libraries!
We're creating all new cataloging records according to RDA--there is a sound recording here:

And a list of some RDA records here:

Hope this helps! Cheerio, h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 415-561-7032, heather_hernandez@nps.gov http://www.nps.gov/safr/learn/historyculture/museum-collections.htm
