MARC Report 250: Cataloging Check Changes

This page is produced by an automated comparison of the current cataloging checks (250) with those of the previous version (249).

Message strings have been normalized to prevent slight differences in spacing, punctuation, etc., from being considered a change; but therehas been no attempt to otherwise edit this comparison.

Message Ids for each change listed below are available as comments in the markup; you may access this data by viewing or downloading thesource of this page.

<!– Id=20400004–> 040: Language validation not supported     (RDA Only)
040 (cataloging source) subfield $b (Language of cataloging) is present in this record, but does not contain the code for a language supported by our RDA validation checks. The program will validate RDA strings against the default values, which are in English. If this record is intended for use in a catalog that uses one of our supported languages, then you may need to replace this record with one that is cataloged in that language.

<!– Id=20400005–> 040: Language validation not enabled     (RDA Only)
040 (cataloging source) subfield $b (Language of cataloging) is present in this record, and matches one of the language codes supported by our RDA validation checks, but that language has not been enabled in your options. The program will validate RDA strings against the default values, which are in English. To validate RDA strings in the language of cataloging, go to 'Options|RDA|Language support' and enable the language code on the form that appears.

<!– Id=20400006–> 040: Language validation not possible     (RDA Only)
040 (cataloging source) subfield $b (Language of cataloging) is present in this record, and matches one of the language codes supported by our RDA validation checks, but this validation requires unicode (UTF-8) and the record is encoded as MARC-8. The program will validate RDA strings against the default values, which are in English.

<!– Id=32450002–> 245: Check ending punctuation     (AACR and RDA)
245 (Title statement) MARC input conventions do not require an ending period if data already ends with final punctuation, which the MARC introduction explains is a period, a question mark, an exclamation mark, or a hyphen (https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdintro.html). However, if you are following the LC-PCC PS 1.7.1 at http://access.rdatoolkit.org/lcpschp1_lcps1-476.html, then ignore this message

<!– Id=43000008–> 300: $b spell out 'b&w'     (RDA Only)
300 subfield $b (Other physical details): under RDA, we do not abbreviate ‘black and white’ as 'b&w', so change the abbreviation to ‘monochrome’ or ‘black and white’ or some other term from a relevant vocabulary.

<!– Id=43000009–> 300: $b spell out 'sd'     (RDA Only)
300 subfield $b (Other physical details): under RDA, we do not abbreviate ‘sound’ as 'sd' (with or without a period), so replace the abbreviation with the full word.

<!– Id=43370010–> 337: $a not same as $b     (RDA Only)
In field 337 (Media Type), when both subfield $a (Media type term) and subfield $b (Media type code) are present, they should refer to the same type of content (e.g., $a video $b v; or $a video $a computer $b v $b c). Recording one type of media only in $a and another type only in $b in the same field is not good practice. Best practice is to use separate 337 fields to record data about different media types, especially if you are adding a URI in $0 for each media type.

<!– Id=43370067–> 337: Needs matching 007/00 'z'     (AACR and RDA)
337 (Media type) contains the term 'other' in 337$a or code 'x' in 337$b and so requires a corresponding 007/00 (Category of material) code 'z' (unspecified). See: http://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/rdamedia.html

<!– Id=43380010–> 338: $a not same as $b     (RDA Only)
In field 338 (Carrier Type), when both subfield $a (Carrier type term) and subfield $b (Carrier type code) are present, they should refer to the same type of carrier (e.g., $a online resource $b cr). Recording one type of carrier only in $a and another type only in $b in the same field is not good practice. Best practice is to use separate 338 fields to record data about different carrier types, especially if you are adding a URI in $0 for each carrier type.

<!– Id=20070007–> 007/03: Use fill ('|') not blanks     (AACR and RDA)       Message changed from: 007/03: Use fill (|) not blanks
007/03-04 (Class of braille writing) use two fill characters ('||') instead of blanks (##) when no attempt has been made to code.

<!– Id=22640068–> 264: _1 $c guess pubDate from © date     (AACR and RDA)       Message changed from: 264: _1 $c guess pubDate from cpyRt date
264 Indicator 2 = 1 subfield $c (Publication date) contains only a copyright date (preceded by 'copyright' or 'phonogram', or © or the phonogram symbol, or 'c' or 'p'); guess the publication date from the copyright date, and (optionally) add the copyright date again in a separate 264 Indicator 2 = 4 (Copyright notice date), preceded by 'copyright' or 'phonogram' or © or the 'phonogram symbol'.

<!– Id=22640070–> 264: _0 $c guess prodDate from © date     (AACR and RDA)       Message changed from: 264: _0 $c guess prodDate from cpyRt
264 Indicator 2 = 0 subfield $c (Production date) contains only a copyright date (preceded by 'copyright' or 'phonogram', or © or the phonogram symbol, or 'c' or 'p'); guess the production date from the copyright date, and (optionally) add the copyright date again in a separate 264 Indicator 2 = 4 (Copyright notice date), preceded by 'copyright' or 'phonogram' or © or the 'phonogram symbol'.

<!– Id=43000004–> 300: $b spell out 'col.'     (RDA Only)       Message changed from: 300: $b use 'color' or 'colour'
300 subfield $b (Other physical details): under RDA, we do not abbreviate 'color/colour' as 'col.' (with or without a period), so change the abbreviation to 'polychrome' or 'color' or 'colour' or some other term from a relevant vocabulary.

<!– Id=47600005–> %t: Subf $i is missing     (AACR and RDA)       Message changed from: %t: $ubf $i is missing
In the %t (Linking entry field), subfield $i (relationship information) should be present in both AACR and RDA records when a title subfield is present. Relationship information describes the relationship between an work, expression, manifestation, or item to another work, expression, manifestation, or item. For a list of relationship terms valid in the current context, add a subfield $i to the beginning of the field and press <F7>.

To: In field 336 (Content Type), when both subfield $a (Content type term) and subfield $b (Content type code) are present, they should refer to the same type of content (e.g., $a text $b txt; or $a text $a still image $b txt $b sti).
