WEconomics : Italy / a film by Melissa Young, Mark Dworkin. (OCLC #944445213)

The LC-PCC PS for RDA 18.5 Relationship Designators says to follow the PCC Training Manual for Applying Relationship Designators in Bibliographic Records, and to record terms MARC 1XX/7XX subfield $e, $i, or $j as appropriate.

The manual includes guidelines such as recording relationship designators for all access points whenever it is clear what the relationship is, as in:

    700 1_ ǂa Dworkin, Mark, ǂe film director.

and examples of what to do when more than one relationship designator is appropriate, as in:

    700 1_ ǂa Young, Melissa, ǂe film director, ǂe film producer.

Los viajes de la Razón : estudios dieciochistas en homenaje a María-Dolores Albiac Blanco / coords., María Dolores Gimeno Puyol, Ernesto Viamontes Lucientes. (OCLC #936372734)

RDA I.2.2 (Relationship Designators for Other Persons, Families, or Corporate Bodies Associated with a Work) lists as a relator term “honouree”, which is used for “ person, family, or corporate body honoured by a work (e.g., the honouree of a festschrift).”, as in: 

    700 1_ ǂa Albiac Blanco, María-Dolores, ǂe honouree.

There is also a term “honouree (item)” (in RDA I.5.2) for “a person, family, or corporate body honoured by an item, e.g., a person to whom a copy is presented.”

你在高原 / 张炜著. (OCLC #646079620)

RDA 9.19.1.3 under Authorized Access Point Representing a Person says to include the date of birth and/or date of death if needed to distinguish one authorized access point from another, and also to include the month or month and day if needed to distinguish one access point from another.

Wei Zhang is a common Chinese name, so this author’s name was established as:

    Zhang, Wei, ǂd 1956 November 7-

to distinguish him from all other Wei Zhangs, including:

    Zhang, Wei, ǂd 1956-
    Zhang, Wei, ǂd 1956 February-

Paris : les boulevards / illustrations by Charles Franch ; text by Pamela Golbin. (OCLC #884298094)

Many books include on the title page verso a printer’s key which looks like a line of numbers:

    9 8 7 6 5 4 3

The smallest number present in the key indicates the print run of the volume you have in hand, so the key above would indicate the third print run for this edition. For each subsequent run, they remove the smallest number from the key.

This title’s printer’s key also includes years:

    2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 / 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

This volume was printed in 2015 and was the first printing, so for future printings they will also remove years as necessary, so the lowest one can indicate the printing year.

Date of Manufacture (RDA 2.10.6) is not a core element in RDA, and LC-PCC PS only considers it core for rare materials, so we typically do not record it in records.

The interpretation of cultures : selected essays / by Clifford Geertz. (OCLC #44600588)

Before looking closely at this book, I thought it might be a duplicate of another title in our collection, as most metadata matched, including title, author, publisher and copyright date. Turning a few pages revealed a “preface to the 2000 edition”. RDA 2.5.2.2 on Sources of Information for the Edition Statement says that if there is no edition statement on the same source as the title proper (there isn’t), it can be taken from another source within the resource itself, so we have it recorded as:

250 __ ǂa 2000 edition.

El día que España derrotó a Inglaterra : de cómo Blas de Lezo, tuerto, manco y cojo, defendió el Imperio español en América / Pablo Victoria. (OCLC #941791257)

RDA 3.5.2.6 on recording the Dimensions of Map, Etc., on Folded Sheet says that if
the sheet itself contains a panel or section designed to appear on the outside when the sheet is folded, then record the dimensions of the map, etc., and add the dimensions of the sheet in folded form, preceded by a comma. This resource has such a map folded up in the back, so I have recorded its dimensions this way in the physical description:

300 __ ǂa 351 pages : ǂb color illustrations, color maps ;
    ǂc 24 cm + 1 map (91 x 63 cm, folded to 24 x 17 cm).

Medusa. (OCLC #938622762)

This title has a collective title, but also contains two individual works (previously published separately) by different authors. The collective title and the titles of the individual works are present on the title page. ISBD 1.1.4.3 describes this case, and says to choose the collective title as the title proper, and that titles of individual works may be given in Area 7. I followed that instruction:

245 10 ǂa Medusa.
505 00 ǂt Narrative of a voyage to Senegal in 1816 / ǂr J. B.
    Henry Savigny & Alexander Correard -- ǂt The sufferings of
    the Picard family after the shipwreck of the Medusa / ǂr
    Charlotte-Adélaïde Dard [née Picard] ; translated 
    by Patrick Maxwell.

I also included authorized access points as analytical entries for the two works:

700 12 ǂa Savigny, Jean Baptiste Henri, ǂd 1793-1843.
    ǂt Naufrage de la frigate la Méduse. ǂl English.
700 12 ǂa Dard, Charlotte-Adelaïde. ǂt Chaumière africain.
    ǂl English.

I also liked the classification of this piece:

    G530.M5 S3313 2008

G530 is for individual accounts of shipwrecks including sailors’ yarns; for special vessels, cutter by the name of the vessel!

Nerve : how a small Kentucky town led the fight to safely dismantle the world’s chemical weapons / a film by Ben Evans & the Kentucky Environmental foundation ; with music by Ben Sollee. (OCLC #937869675)

Which relationship designator should be used for the composer/performer of original music for a film, so often expressed in the credits as “music by”? I included that version in the Creation/Production Credits Note:

508 00 ǂa Directed and produced by Ben Evans; music by Ben Sollee.

But am a little bit nervous about my relationship designators for the authorized access point:

700 1_ ǂa Sollee, Ben, ǂe composer (expression), ǂe instrumentalist.

RDA I.3.1 defines composer (expression) as “A person … contributing to an expression by adding music to a work that originally lacked it, by composing new music to substitute for the original music, or by composing new music to supplement the existing music.” which seems accurate, but a bit off. Similar designators seem to refer specifically to musical works.

Molis chorisa [videorecording]. (OCLC #502990397)

(It’s a brand new year on a brand new system! But the cataloging problems keep coming…)

I identified the language on this DVD as Greek, but was not feeling confident about reading the flowery script or transliterating it. I was grateful to find a publisher number on the spine that I could search for using the Publisher number (mn:) field:

    mn: 582333

There’s no specific RDA element for this data other than Identifier for the Manifestation (RDA 2.15)). This particular Identifier for the Manifestation is recorded in MARC 028:

    028 01 ǂa 582333 ǂb Odeon

Some other identifiers for the manifestation also have their own specific MARC fields, such as ISBN (020) and ISSN (022).
