![]() If you are planning to stick with AACR2, you may blissfully continue to catalog Playaways according to the current guidelines as you have been doing without making major changes. With that preface, here are my current suggestions on the treatment of Playaways under RDA. What advice can you offer regarding the 33X fields and the physical description for Playaways?Īnswer: At this point, we are all in the process of assimilating RDA into whatever cataloging knowledge we possess, so I don’t have much confidence that whatever I say is any more authoritative than what many others have said in the OLAC discussion. Question: OLAC has not yet set up a committee to create a set of RDA Playaway cataloging guidelines, but I have been monitoring the OLAC discussion list and have seen the discussion about Playaways and RDA recently. Where There’s A Play, There’s A Way, Courtesy of RDA (Admittedly, LCRI 6.5B2 refers specifically to “sound recordings of music,” but it seems a good practice for all sound recordings.) LCRI 6.5B2 also allows the expression of the duration to include hours, minutes, and seconds, “in the form illustrated by examples in 1.5B4,” which is in the form “(XX hr., XX min., XX sec.).” In all cases, you may include field 306 with hours, minutes, and seconds of the entire recording or, using multiple subfields $a, each work on the recording. That will often, but not always, be the case for non-musical recordings. Question: Can someone please answer the following about the MARC 300 field for non-musical sound recordings? Do we always include time length of a CD in parenthesis in the 300 field? And if we do include a time length of only minutes in the 300 field, can we have a 306 field in which we have minutes and seconds?Īnswer: If you are cataloging according to AACR2, LCRI 6.5B2 recommends including the duration for a sound recording in the physical description only in cases where the recording contains one work.
