[Evergreen-catalogers] RDA and the future of Evergreen

[Hardy, Elaine]

Thinking out loud here -- what if we used  the 338 (carrier type) as a
filter to further refine a search to more specific formats within
audiobooks. The question then becomes -- how do we craft a similar filter
for AACR2 records when the carrier type is not so readily defined in one
field?

Hello Everyone,

If you had a chance to attend the session, Alphabet Soup: RDA, FRBR and
the Future of Evergreen last week, you know that Lebbeous asked catalogers
to define the development we need for Evergreen to effectively display,
index and generally handle RDA records.

What do you think are development needs for RDA in Evergreen? How would
you like the records to appear? To search and index? How do you want links
to function, display, etc.?

Here are some first thoughts off the top of my head. I need to sit down
and give this some serious thought, and hopefully you'll give me a lot to
think about as well.

It think it's important that things feel pretty seamless for users between
the RDA and AACR2 and earlier records.

I'd like to be able to take advantage of the 33x fields for sorting and
narrowing of searches, and obviously I don't want them to display, since
they would be meaningless jargon to the average person.

I think I'd like to see the subfield e for Creators indexed.
