CIP Data Block (RDA)

SLC CIP DATA BLOCK 1 August 2015

When a client sends access to a PDF file for CIP to be included in the electronic text, do a full MARC record, plus a CIP data block in plain text.

For the CIP data block SLC follows the format LC adopted September 2015, with exceptions:

All elements are labelled.

All main and added *name* entries are at the top in LC practice.. [SLC moves added entries to the bottom, and supplies a relator to main entry.]

Imprint is now included.

RDA media terms are not given.

LC like LAC is omitting "pages cm"; it looked silly for multi-volume sets and serials.

The unit card Arabic and Roman numbering of subject and added enties are gone; young folk may have never seen a unit card.

LC is omitting relator from main entry. [It has been added in the samples below, as has jurisdictions to imprint as per SLC practice.]

CATALOGING IN PUBLICATION DATA BLOCK CHANGES
Implemented September 30, 2015 by LC.

Highlights of New Layout:

Includes labels for data elements
Names, Title, Description, Identifiers, Subjects, Classification
