Introduction 2
Scope
Disclaimer “YMMV”
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
What is a compilation? 3
Surprise! It’s not defined in the RDA Glossary Library of Congress’ pithy definition Mullin’s (attempt at an) operational definition Two or more works or expressions manifested together in a single
resource (regardless of mode of issuance)
Is it a “work” in its own right?
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
What is a compilation? 4
What does this mean in a MARC bibliographic
record? By default, use 245 0x, unless conditions exist
permitting use of 1xx In AACR2, it seemed to be the inverse

Types of compilations 5
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 6
Obvious: works by multiple creators (6.27.1.4)
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 7
Obvious: works by multiple creators (6.27.1.4) Collective title proper Can serve double-duty as the preferred title of the aggregate “work” LC-PCC PS 6.27.1.9: break conflict if needed (use 130) 130 0_ Opera overtures (2013)
130 0_ Opera overtures (2013 : London, England) 130 0_ Opera overtures (2013 : Philharmonia Orchestra (London, England))
What about “performer main entry”? Does not exist as such in RDA! See 6.28.1.5.1 and/or 19.2.1.1.1 Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 8
Obvious: works by multiple creators (6.27.1.4) No collective title proper Still a compilation! Do not “enter under” first work Alternative: devise a title if not identifying all works in the compilation (LC-PCC PS: “generally” do not apply)
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 9
Also obvious: works by a single composer
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 10
Also obvious: works by a single composer Complete Conventional collective title required (6.14.2.8.1-6.14.2.8.5) 240 10 Works 240 10 Piano music 240 10 Symphonies
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 11
Also obvious: works by a single composer Incomplete Identify all works in the compilation (6.2.2.10; 6.14.2.8.6) Alternative: use a conventional collective title instead or in addition (LC-PCC PS: apply) 240 10 Works. $k Selections 240 10 Piano music. $k Selections 240 10 Symphonies. $k Selections
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 12
Fuzzy: resources with secondary content Examples: Audio disc with program notes in a booklet Score with a preface Videorecording with “bonus features”
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 13
Fuzzy: resources with secondary content Should be cataloged as a compilation? Yes, if “secondary content” is treated as a work in its own right RDA Terminology not very helpful “Secondary content” – not defined Supplementary content (7.16) – scope too restrictive? “Accompanying material” – also not defined, but used in the context of describing carriers and as a source of information
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 14
Fuzzy: resources with secondary content How to treat such content? Accompanying work/expression relationship designators: J.2.5, J.3.5
Implies subordination (analogous to 7.16)
Descriptive work/expression relationship designators: J.2.3, J.3.3 Better, but suitable for identifying works/expressions contained in the resource? Unclear if 1xx/24x for the “main” work would be appropriate in this case “Contains (work/expression)” access point Treat like an ordinary compilation (245 0x) Pretend content doesn’t exist for the purposes of assigning access
points
Is this cheating? Perhaps
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 15
Even fuzzier: one work, multiple expressions
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 16
Even fuzzier: one work, multiple expressions Multiple language expressions Multiple editorial versions Facsimile reproduction and modern edition Original clefs and modern clefs Recording with and without solo part
Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Types of compilations 17
Even fuzzier: one work, multiple expressions How to assign access points? If not differentiating at the expression level, give 1xx/24x for the work If giving an access point for each expression (6.28.3.6; 26.1), give in 7xx. 700 12 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791. $t Zauberflöte. $s Vocal score. $l German 700 12 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791. $t Zauberflöte. $s Vocal score. $l English
LC’s training materials also have 1xx for first-named
creator in this case Is this cheating? Probably. At the very least it is redundant Mullin, "RDA, MARC, Compilations and You"
Rule of thumb 18
Think you have a compilation? Use 245 0x, unless conditions exist permitting the use of 1xx
