Hi All Thanks for that message Chris, WCL's catalogue currently includes about 130 RDA records residing (almost) happily alongside the AACR2 ones. In answer to your four questions: A) No reactions so far from staff outside cataloguing, or our patrons B) & C) As we can dictate (through the use of what are called "Bib forms") what tags/subfields can display in our OPAC (our in-house system is CARLX) there is no problem with display of the full record, although currently we do have a problem with the 264 tag, subfield "c" in the search results lists - our parameters generate publication date display in short title records (in all modules) from 260/c, so any RDA records with a 264 tag will not display a date - we have requested a change to our parameters from the CARL/TLC folk but I don't think that will happen in a hurry - therefore we have decided (for now) to change the 264 tag to a 260 tag in our own system after bringing the record in. D) We do not edit any RDA records on the NUC and do minimal editing on them in our own system - mainly because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! - but sometimes add pagination, or fix the copyright date symbol. I have been looking at documentation on the internet which has been helpfully put up there by some caring cataloguers - there are some editing cheat sheets which may be useful on the Special Libraries Cataloguing site:- http://special-cataloguing.com/node/1408 & lately I have been looking at Yale University's documentation - an example here re the 264 tag:- http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/Orbis2Manual/CIP2RDA.htm & I have also gone through LC's "Using the RDA toolkit" document:- http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/pdf/ToolkitCourse.pdf to help with navigating the RDA rules universe. We will have to develop, or are willing to work with others to develop, some kind of cheatsheet or a set of guidelines for how to deal with editing CIP RDA records - at the moment we are just letting sleeping dogs lie pretty much, but that can't last ...
