We've been putting linking 776 fields in our records for both paper
originals and corresponding electronic versions. This field documents
the relationship between the two versions.
In my view, it's always a bad idea just to add a URL for an electronic
resource to a record for a paper document, whether the record is RDA or
AACR2. If someone else wants to add holdings to the record, it's not
clear whether the holdings are for the paper version or the electronic one.

Hi everyone
I haven't been in a position yet (I hope I will at some point) to
dig very deeply into the changes RDA will make relevant to map
cataloging--although I have Mary and Paige's upcoming book on
pre-order with Amazon--but I am wondering about Rick's comment that
in RDA you are not supposed to make one record for multiple formats.
Given the ever increasing number of digital surrogates appearing for
printed maps, for reasons including improved access, security and
conservation, I wonder about the reasoning behind breaking the link
between the original and the surrogate, which this rule seems to
suggest. On one hand I can understand wanting to be able to search
only for digital manifestations, but on the other it seems to be
doing a disservice to users to make them search twice to find out if
there is a surrogate that they may find easier to use.
Any discussion?
Thanks.

Angie,
I always make the changes you've mentioned after I've imported the
record into my system. I never alter other people's records in
OCLC.
But that's just me. I don't know if there is a rule one way or the
other about making such changes in OCLC. I never had to worry
about it.
As time passes, there's one more thing you'll want to keep an
eye out
for. As more and more catalogers abandon AACR2 and records are
created
in RDA, your example will not apply. In RDA you're not supposed
to make
one record for multiple formats. So if you have a record for a
paper
map, you shouldn't tweak it to also include information and
links to the
digital map. You'll need to create a totally separate record,
with all
the fields adjusted for the digital map alone. If you're
institution is
using RDA. Even if the digital file on your screen is a scan of
a paper
map you have in your hand, the 2 formats should be represented
by 2
catalog records in RDA. Now if your institution is still using
AACR2
and not RDA, then what you want to do is OK. But if you happen to
import an RDA record, and your institution is willing to mix
AACR2 and
RDA in their catalog, then your procedures will change depending
upon
which cataloging rules apply. Hope this makes sense.
If anyone takes issue with what I've just said, let me know. This
change over, from AACR2 to RDA can be a bit much.
Thanks,
Rick Grapes

Subject: Cataloging question - adding urls to OCLC records
Hi Everyone,
Are there any guidelines or rules about adding the urls to
records from
your institutions digital collections to OCLC records done by
other
institutions? So, for example, I copy cataloged a map adding my
holdings
to a record done by DLC, I put the map in my digital collection
and I
put a 530 and 856 in the DLC record.
Good? bad?
Angie
