CC:DA/TF/Sources of Information/
September 1, 2012
Charge
The Task Force on Sources of Information is charged to review the current instructions under RDA 2.1 Basis for Identification of the Resource and 2.2 Sources of Information to address previously identified concerns of MLA and OLAC and to adopt a more principled approach to instructions for sources of information that will work for all materials. The task force should review the MLA proposal CC:DA/MLA/2011/1 and the related committee discussion on the wiki and discussion list.
The task force should address these specific concerns:
- From MLA: for a resource embodying multiple works, establishing a collective title as the preferred means for identifying a resource as a whole
- From MLA: clarifying the status of the container and accompanying textual material as potential preferred sources
- From OLAC: for a resource lacking a collective title with one predominant work, providing a means to treat the title of that work as the title proper (equivalent for AACR2 1.1G1)
- From CC:DA discussion: simplifying the instructions for preferred sources and presenting them as broad principles, supported by examples
- From JSC representative: ensuring that the approach works for all materials
The task force should present its report (including any revision to RDA it wishes to recommend) by Midwinter.
