RDA Best Practices

Changes since last year’s meeting

One RDA Toolkit update (April 2016) and 3 releases (August 2016, October 2016, February 2017) since our last meeting.
Release/update summaries are posted to the CMC blog and published in the Music Cataloging Bulletin

New/revised BPs
RDA 11.7.1.4 to record the type of corporate body in all cases, whether or not it is used as a qualifier in the authorized access point, and another for
RDA 11.13.1.1 (General Guidelines on Constructing Authorized Access Points to Represent Corporate Bodies). The latter adds a qualifier for the type of corporate body in cases of doubt whether the preferred name conveys the idea of a corporate body; it is not added simply to bring out the musical aspect of the body.
RDA 3.19.3 (Encoding Format) gives guidance following the removal of controlled vocabulary from RDA.
Several best practice recommendations are under consideration for the April 2017 Toolkit update.

RDA Best Practices Supplements document

Supplements document resides on CMC website
Several updates were made to Supplement 1:
Audio cartridge (e.g., 8-track)
Flexi discs (aka Soundsheet, phonosheet)
Revisions to reflect changes to RDA 3.19.3 (Encoding Format)
Base material for cylinders.
