AACR2
Integrating
resource
A new description is
required when an integrating resource is re-based, 1.6.3.3. This means,
when the whole content is reissued. In the case of AACR2 the 2002
Revision warrants a new description as it was re-based in 2002. Subsequent
updates or iterations are recorded by editing that description. This
includes changes affecting identification of the work (6.1.3.3) which are
reflected by amending the authorised access point representing the work.
Superseded titles
are recorded as Earlier title proper - MARC =247 Earlier
Title.
There is some debate
about the best way of recording the date of publication (this is a coding isssue
not an RDA issue), The question is whether to upate the currect 264 $c to
reflect the date of the most recent update. This seems logical to
me...
Editorial
responsibility for AACR rests with the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of
AACR, making them the creator.
I would certainly
give authorised access points for the na\tional associations (ALA; CLA and
CIILIP) who own AACR2, with relationship issuing body, but note
BL is currently trying to clear up some ambiguity regarding this relationship
designator..
I would not give
authorised access points on the description for the 2002 revision from Gorman
and Winkler, but I would record the relationsbip to the the 2nd Edition.-- as an
unstructured description (or note, as we used to call
them)
Multiple
publishers
2.8.4.5 If there is
more than one publisher record them in the order indicated by sequence,layout or
typography; the core requirement is to record the first only. So either
record
American Library
Association; Canadian Library Association; Facet Publishing for Chartered
Institute of Library and Information Professionals
or just the core
requirement
American Library
Association
