Kia ora koutou,

 

Aroha mai, my apologies for the tardiness of this email. After asking for assistance with an RDA record for a book on USB a few weeks ago, I was hit with the craziness that is University O Week, add to that the fact that a lecturer ‘commandered’ the item for a couple of weeks and it all combines to mean that I only got a chance to act upon your wonderfully helpful responses yesterday.

 

Attached is a screenshot summary of the main ways to fill in an RDA record, they’re pretty similar but it does show that even the experts disagree sometimes.

 

I particularly found the 347 field examples really helpful. And I’m in favour of 338 Computer chip cartridge over 338 Computer disc as can be seen in the last example.

 

I haven’t included the names of where these examples come from, partly so we can just choose the one that fits each of our institutions best without bias, and also partly (mostly) because I’ve forgotten since I pulled this together weeks ago.

 

Ngâ mihi maioha to all who responded to my call for help, ka mau te wehi!

 

Hope to see all Aoraki cataloguers at Lincoln Public Library on Wed 22nd!

 

Kia pai tô koutou râ
