2. Today’s Goals
•Focus on selected elements as they
apply to serials
•Focus on practical cataloging with
RDA in MARC in the current
environment
3. What is a serial?
• What is a serial?
• Successive parts
• Numbering (usually)
• No predetermined conclusion
• Includes resources that exhibit characteristics of
serials but are of limited duration (newsletters of
events) and reproductions of serials.

11. Editing publication information on copy
• On an RDA serial record, you may
change a 260 to a 264 presuming you
have enough information to select an
indicator value.
• On a pre-RDA record, prefer not to
change an existing 260 to a 264.
• If adding additional publishers on a
pre-RDA record, cataloger’s judgment
whether to add an additional 260 or a

• CONSER practice: always provide carrier term for
tangible, live, non-print serials.

17. Identifying works and expressions
Same as AACR2 “main entry”
In bibliographic records:
• 100/110/111 + 245
• 100/110/111 + 240
• 130
• 245
18. University of Georgia
Student handbook
2012/2013
Corporate body as creator:
Do I need a 110 for this?
RDA 19.2.1.1.1
Does this serial have a creator?
19. No corporate creator. Does my title need
a qualifier? (130)
• Check for conflict with *all* works
• No more (Online) qualifier
So...
Print version of:
Journal of green energy, issued by the Georgia Energy
Commission
Electronic version of:
Journal of green energy, issued by the Georgia Energy
Commission
Different
manifestations
of the same
work. No need
to distinguish.
20. 130 (cont’d)
BUT
Journal of green energy, issued by the British Green
Organization
Journal of green energy, issued by the American Society for
Green Energy
2 different works with the same title.
Needs qualifier/130
RDA 6.27.1.9 and PS
21. Which qualifier(s) should I use?
• Form of work:
130 0# $a Scottish Historical Society (Series)
• Date of the work
130 0# $a Bulletin (New York State Museum : 1976)
• Place of origin of the work
130 0# $a Advocate (Boise, Idaho)
• Other distinguishing characteristic of the work
130 0# $a Bulletin (International Organization of Lace)
130 0# $a Brotherhood (Boston edition)
RDA 6.27.1.9 and PS
130 (cont’d)
22. Let’s practice
Do the following need 130 with qualifier?
Scenario 1: You are cataloging the online manifestation of a
journal with the title:
Journal of natural beekeeping.
The only other record in the catalog is for the print
manifestation of this journal.
Scenario 2: You are cataloging a journal with the title:
Law and society.
The only other record in the catalog is a monograph, produced
under editorial direction:
245 00 $a Law and society : $b critical concepts in law / $c
edited by David Cowan, Linda Mulcahy, Sally Wheeler.

But first, please note that examples are:
• Illustrative, not prescriptive
• They will often represent a particular agency’s
guidelines and will always represent a particular
cataloger’s interpretation and judgement.
