[Evergreen-catalogers] Looking for RDA records that can be added to the Evergreen test data set

[Hardy, Elaine]

Yamil,

You can search for RDA records in DLC's catalog at
http://catalog2.loc.gov/vwebv/searchAdvanced . Do a keyword search for rda
and filter by year to get more recent records. You can also filter by
language, format, and place of publication. You might be able to build a
set of LCCNs to use for export/import.

There are some GPO RDA records at
http://catalog.gpo.gov/F?func=find-b&find_code=WRD&request=rdamedia+OR+rda
carrier+OR+rdacontent  Not sure if they can be imported; however and they
are OCLC records. But they might be helpful for background info. 

There are some JSC example records that are also not importable but show
MARC encoding --

ibliographic_apr0913_rev.pdf (these are part of the RDA toolkit but are
accessible without a subscription).

Subject: [Evergreen-catalogers] Looking for RDA records that can be added
to the Evergreen test data set

Hello,

I am trying to help facilitate the process of making Evergreen better
support RDA. Others are focusing on writing new code, in the meantime
(while I get better at writing RDA code) I am trying to help by gathering
RDA records that we can legally add to the Evergreen test data set. Since
it is hard to write code for RDA and then collaboratively test the code if
we are all using different test RDA records. At this point I was able to
find a couple of RDA records through the Library of Congress[1], but I
wondered if anyone out there had some RDA records that could be legally
shared with the Evergreen community? For the record, at this point I am
not sure if we can add OCLC created records to the Evergreen test data
set, but I will be exploring what our choices are with OCLC records in the
following weeks. 

One thing to watch out for is that some RDA records were created before
some parts if RDA were standardized. For example, I found RDA records
using the 260 tag instead of the 264 tag (publisher, distributor, etc.
info) so I did not include them in the first RDA test batch.

So if you have some RDA records you can legally share with the community
for our testing, email me directly so that we don't clog up the mailing
list with attachments. You can also follow along our progress on this
Launpad.net bug entry.

Thanks in advance,
Yamil
