Monograph Cataloguing (RDA)
MONOGRAPH CATALOGUING CHEAT SHEET (RDA)

[SLC local practices in brackets]
First look at the book to determine if it is fiction or non fiction, and if the title gives you a clear indication of the subject. If not, check the preface and/or table of contents.
MARC field tags make a good checklist.
The current version of MARC used in North America, Australia and increasingly in Europe is MARC21, a harmonization of USMARC. CANMARC and UKMARC, with adaptations for Germany.
MARC records are composed of fixed (same place, same length) and variable fields. Fixed fields are in a Leader, and in fields 006, 007, and 008. In bibliographic utilities and local systems these fixed fields may be broken out into named fields for ease of entry. At first fixed fields seem abstruse. Soon the more common ones will become
second nature.
See your bibliographic utility's coding manual or MARC for codes not included here.
Quickly check or enter Fixed Fields
Particularly check LDR/17* and LDR/18* for records created before 1978 (AACR2 was published in 1978).
[On ITS or Bibliofile this is done by clicking on LDR and 008, sometimes 006 and 007]
LDR/06 Type:
a = language material
g = audiovisual material (type coded in 008/33, e.g., 008/33 v =
video recording)
m = now used only for computer files, e.g., a game or program;

i = integrating resource (loose-leaf or website)
LDR/17 *Enc lvl:
blank = full record book in hand

Variable Fields
010
LC card order number. Key with three blank spaces as front, and 0's if needed replacing "-" to equal 8 spaces.
020
International Standard Bibliographic Number (ISBN). Key without hyphens.
024
With first indicator 3, International Artical Number (EAN); may replace or be in addition to 020 ISBN for some monographs; ISBNs become EANs by having 978 refixed, and the check digit recalculated. 13 digit ISBNs, formerly keyed in 024, are now keyed on 020.
040
Field 040 says $a who catalogued; $b in which language (base on language of notes); $c who made it machine readable; $d who finished the record; $erda if an RDA record.
The order of fields is 040$a$b$e$c$d
Today originals are usually done in one operation online, but use 040 $aCaBNVSL$beng (or fre) $cCaBNVSL$dCaBNVSL$erda (substitute your NUC code for SLC's).
Repeat the 040$a code in $c if lacking; and add $dCaBNVSL (or your code) at the end. MARC record checking software expects to find at least subfields $a and $c.
041
Language codes for translations and multilingual items, since 008/35-37 will only contain one language code. See MARC21.
050
Library of Congress call number (LCC). Key as 050 2nd indicator 0 (assigned at LC) or 4 (local), e.g.: 050 4 $aAB1234.5$b.D78 1998, or if two Cutters, 050 4 $aAB123.5
.C6$bD78 1999. Note period for first Cutter, $b for second, both for one Cutter, but only one of each.
050 4 $aAB 1234.5$b.A88 2011
050 4 $aAB 1234.G4$bA88 2011
NB: 1st indicator is blank if assigned locally.
055 8 - Uniquely Canadian class number
Cataloguer adds for KFmod, PS8000 or FC; 1st indicator is blank 2nd indicator is 8 and $2 is kfmod or fcps. eb is added by script.
060
National Library of Medicine call number.
082
Dewey Decimal call number (DDC). 2nd indicator 0 if assigned by LC, 4 if local. Use " / " to indicate natural breaks. On Normally Cutter is omitted, but some OCLC lients key Cutter or book mark in 082$b.
On OCLC, locally assigned DDC numbers plus Cutter or work mark may be keyed in 092, with Cutter or work mark in $b.
090
Local call number; MARC field number varies with system.
[At SLC 090 is used fro all local numbers, LC, DDC, NLM, etc., coded with slashes for line breaks (a former Utlas practice), e.g.: 090 0 $aAB/1234.5/C6/D78/1998$bMAIN$c1-2$d1-2 ($b = location, $ccopies, $dvolumes)
On OCLC keyed like 050 and used for locally assigned LCC numbers, while 092 is used for DDC numbers..
092
See 082.
100 - person as main entry
First author mentioned; not compilers or editors; surname first. A compiler *is* the author of an index or bibliography however. Key 1st indicator 1 for surname, e.g.: 100 1 $aSmith, Jones,$d1932- [This and all 1XX and 7XX fields are normally checked against the library's, LC's, and/or LAC's authority file to achieve uniformity.]
All creatures (human, animal, fictitious, legendary) coded as persons. [For human, prefer dates if known); for animals, fictitious and legendary characters prefer qualifier to distinguish headings.]
TRDA allows main entry of a later edition under the first author of the earlier edition, when the order of names in the statement of repsonsibility
changes. [SLC will enter under the first author of the manifestation in hand.]
100/110/700/710$e - relationship terms or codes Entries may be followed by either $e relationship term(s) or $4 relationship codes. LCm LACm and SLC use terms.
Except ofter a hyphen, precede and separate $eterms with commas. Replace period with comma,,a except after an initial or abbreviation.
Subfields $e and $4 repeating, so multiple relationships may be shown, e.g., $eactor,$edirector.
Use a period at end of entry; use a comma between terms but not codes.
[Because the presence of these X00/X10 $e subfields may cause split files in client OPACs, and/or in a single list of titles following an entry, imply a relation to subsequent titles which only applies to the first title, care should be taken in their use.] [The following alphabetical list of terms is drawn from RDA Appendix I.1, I.2. and selected single word terms from I.3, I.4. The phrases in I.3 and I.4 are considered too long by SLC for practical use, and others record relationships, particularly for motion picture production
companies, which are not traced by SLC. All relators have been reduced to a single word for assigning, and export if requested by a client.]

110 If the work is the annual report of a corporate body, the report of a
task force, or some such, the corporate body is the author. There
are fewer corporate bodies as author (main entry) under current
rules than earlier. Key 1st indicator 1 for a corporate
body which begins with a jurisdiction, 2 for direct order, e.g.:
110 1 $aCanada.$bDept. of State. 110 2 $aCanadian Unitarian
Council.
The first country mentioned is the main entry for treaties.
111
If what you have is conference proceedings, the name of the conference
is the author. The name is followed by $n(number :$ddate
:$cPlace), or if no number, $d(date :$cPlace). BUT 110$aCorporate
Name.$bConference$n( ...
130
Uniform title as main entry. If the work is a sacred work such as
the Bible, that common title (known as a uniform title) goes in 130.
For the Bible you add language and date. For parts of the Bible
you start with Bible, e.g., 130 $aBible.$pO.T.$pGenesis$lEnglish$f1995.
For works other than sacred works, change the 130 to 730, and 245 first
indicator to 0.
240
Uniform title as filing title; only after a 100. (Both 130 and 240 being called uniform title shows how MARC works as a check list better than words.) For classical music, laws, and very voluminous authors such as Shakespeare, many libraries have a title which brings version of the same work together.
It is SLC practice, with the exception of classical music, to change distinctive 240s to 730, and delete non distinctive ones such as "Works ...", unless doing a special project for a library which wishes them. Do not key square brackets, although it is usually displayed in brackets.
245
The title as on the title page; use a ":$b" before subtitles, "=$b" before a title in another language; followed by "/$vc and authors up to a number selected by the agency in each category, e.g., authors, illustrations, editors.
[SLC will transcribe up to three in each catelegory, followed by "[et al.]" without elipses.
The RDA minimum is one from each category. There is no upper limit. The RDA phrase is [and # others]".
[If more than three per category in a derived record, do not delete. If less than three, but more on the resource, add. All added entries should be justified.]
If they did different things, use a ";" to separate categories, e.g. /$cby John Smith ; illustrated by Tim Jones.
Only the first word and proper names are capitalized. Names of Acts are proper names. All German nouns are capitalized. Each field within this (and any) paragraph is according to ISBD separated from the following by a " -- ". but these dashes are not keyed. If there is no 1XX (i.e. title main entry) use 1st indicator 0; use 1 if there is
a 1XX, and 2nd indicator for number of spaces to be skipped in filing, e.g., A = 2, An = 3, and The = 4, because of the space following the initial article, e.g.: 245 14 $aThe story of my life :$ban autobiography /$cby Tom Jones.
For dealing with a derived 245 in all capitals, see 505.
[SLC does not accept the RDA options of title capitalization, or all upper case titles.]
If there is no collective title, supply one in square brackets. Record individual titles in 505 and 740. If one author, give in 245 /$c. If authors vary, give after title / in 505 without subfield code,
Some AACR2 and earlier records will have the individual titles in 245, with ",$b" after the first. Accept if no more than three titles.
245/$c Statement of responsibility. All authors may be transcribed.
[SLC will have no unjustified added entries; transcribe all joint authors to be traced, three as a minimum for each funco, followed by [et # al.]; do not consider this option for less than 10 persons].
245$h[gmd] Obsolete.
246
Alternate title which represents the whole work, e.g.:
246 31 $aParallel title
246 14 $aCover title
246 15 $aAdded title page title
246 1 $iAt head of title:$aPhrase at head of title
1st indicator 3 means added entry, no note; 1st indicator 1
means added entry and note; the second indicator says which print
constant to use for the note; if no print constant is available,
use $i$a as shown. SLC ends 246 with a period so that the note
produced will end with a period. MARC21 does not call for a
period.
247
Former title for a loose-leaf service or website (integrating
entity) which changes title. In the future these may not be
considered monographs.
250
Edition, e.g., 2nd ed., Rev. ed. If a person wrote the
edition, you would say so, e.g., 250 $a2nd ed. /$bby Tim Jones.
260$a$b$c
Imprint, e.g.:
264 1 $aNew York, N.Y. :$bSmith & Jones,$c1995.
[SLC always gives jurisdiction in 264 1 $a, spelled out in square brackets
if lacking from the item, an RDFA option. SLC substitutes jurisdiction for postal codes, since codes are not unique internationally.]
[SLC does not use "language of the catalogue" inclusions because of its
international client base. As a last resort use ISBD Latin abbreviation
inclusions, but attempt to avoid them by guessing. Place can often be
inferred from terminology and spelling. If no publisher, assume author.
Date can be guessed from latest bibliographic reference, or events mentions:
Publlisher: 264 1 $a[Canada?] :$b[A. Smith?] ;$c201-?]
Distributor: 264 2 $aSaint-Lasare, Quebec :$bCanadian Electronic Library,$c2013.
Manufacturer: 264 3 $a[Ann Arbor, Michigan] :$bUniversity Microfilms,$c[1994] Manufacturer
264 4 $ccopyright date if different from imprint date.
AACR2 260$e$f$g is the equivalent of RDA 264 3.
300
Collation, e.g.:
300 $ax, 100 pages :$billustrations ;$c23 cm
If multiple volumes, the number of volumes is given, e.g.:
3 volumems :$billustrations ;$c28 cm
If the volumes are numbered through (as opposed to each volume starting
with page 1), then:
3 volumes (300 p.) :$bgraphs ;$c26 cm
Other possible variations include:
1 volumes (various pagings)* ;$c28 cm
1 volume (unpaged) ;$c28 cm.
(Loose-leaf is used for material to be updated, not just anything
in a binder.)
SLC assigns 300 to remote electronic resources, e.g., 1 website,
1 electronic text, 1 streaming video.
MARC21 Fields for RDA Content, Media Type, and Carrier Terms
IIf more than one term is needed from either list, e.g a book with a
CD, precede the terms with a term indicating to which it applies, e.g.,
336 $3CD$aspoken word$2RDAcontent.
336 Content type
Follow each 336 term with $2rdaontent; except
follow those in brackets with $2mricontent
[RDA offers three options for content terms: give all which apply,
e.g., "text, still image" for an illustrated manifestation; all which
are significant, e.g., "still image, text" for an art exhibition
catalogue; or predominant only, e.g., either "text" or "still image",
depending on which is a larger part of the manifestation. MARC21 has
the option of repeating 336$a or repeating 336; repeating 336 is more
common.]

440 Obsolete.
Change to 490 1, and copy into 830.
490 Series as on item.
Beginning June 1, 2006, the US Library of Congress is coding all
series as 490 0.
It has been SLC policy since January of 1979 to have no 490 0 in
bibliographic records. (Some but not all SLC customers index 490
in their series and/or title indexes, making access uneven between
customers.) When you encounter a 490 0, and it contains no subject
word, or a responsible corporate body or person, e.g., "Penguin
books", change the 490 0 to a 500 quoted pseudo series statement.
If the 490 0 transcribed series statement contains a subject word,
e.g., "Studies in chemistry", change the 490 0 to 490 1, and enter
the series in 830 with 2nd filing indicator 0-4. If the series title
is generic, e.g., "Report", and has not been established in either
the LC or LAC authority files, add the name of the responsible
ody or person in curves. Use established form if in LC or LAC
authorities.
Provide ";$v" issue number or year as relevant. Include ISSN in $x
if available.
Field 490 does not conclude in a period, because it is normally
displayed in parentheses, the final parenthesis being the concluding
mark of punctuation.
500
General notes. There are also specific notes. As a beginner, if
you see something which seems helpful on the title page, just quote
it, e.g., 500 $a"Reports the law as of April 1, 1995."
Some other common notes include:
502
Thesis, e.g., Thesis (PhD)--Podunk University, 1995.
503
Former bibliographic history; now in 500. Still used by SLC.
504
Includes bibliographic references and index.
505
Contents, e.g., v. 1. Title one -- v. 2. Title two.
A derived record may contain a contents note in all capitals,
or contents may be cut ans pasted from a PDF in all capitals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dealing with upper case derived or cut and paste data:
It is not necessary to rekey.
Copy, paste into Word, select the text, and press Shift-F3 to Change
Case, or other function key you have assigned to this task. Then
recopy and paste back into your workform.
The Change Case function cycles through ALL CAPS, all lowercase,
Sentence case, and sometimes Title Case (depending on what's
selected). In a stream of lowercase, Word highlights words which
perhaps should be capitalized--click on the word, press Shift-F3
again. Proofreading, for cases such as "new York".
Diacritics will require adjustment.
Another option is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
520
Summary. Our clients tell us that inclusion of summaries increases
use due to keyword searching. But if quoting with "--", we
attempt to screen out publisher's "puff" adjectives substitutomg
"...", and just include the parts which actually tell you something
about the item.
