On a sort of related point, our cataloguers have recently brought to my
attention the "new" RDA "264 - Production, Publication, Distribution,
Manufacture, and Copyright Notice" field, which some of the Z39.50 imports
appear to be using *instead of* 260 -- they tell me they're seeing it more
and more often.
264 does not exist in Default framework (therefore in no others) so they
are having to manually copy the data fields.
Has anyone looked into this? Any thoughts of how best for Koha to deal with it?
Thanks -- Paul

Hi, Elaine--
Cataloging rules change, and IMNSHO, "old" doesn't mean "wrong." We have
records in our catalog that are perfectly correct ISBD, AACR, AACR2 and now
RDA, and they all seem to exist together happily! Retroactively trying to
change catalog records from one cataloging rule set to another could be
problematic, since the rules for what data must be transcribed from the
item, and how, can differ greatly. We are a museum library, though, and so
may be paying greater attention to visualizing the exact nature of the item
from the cataloging record than most libraries!
We're creating all new cataloging records according to RDA--there is a
sound recording here:

And a list of some RDA records here:

Hope this helps! Cheerio,
