-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Machine-Readable Bibliographic Information Committee (MARBI) topics for ALA Anaheim Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 10:39:43 -0500 From: Susan Moore <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> Hello fellow mapsters, There are six proposals and four discussion papers before MARBI this time. There aren't any that specifically touch on cartographic resources. There are several that would add fields or subfields to accommodate RDA (Proposal 2012-06 would add $c to the 028 field; Proposal 2012-04 would add new data elements to authority format to account for other designation associated with the person or title of the person; and, Proposal 2012-05 would make the 250 field repeatable to accommodate data from notated music that will be recorded in the 250 field under RDA). There are three discussion papers that come from the ALCTS CaMMS Subject Analysis Committee Subcommittee on Genre/Form Implementation that cover changes to both the bibliographic and authority formats to record aspects of genre/form headings. The agenda and full papers can be found at http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/an2012_age.html Susan Moore University of Northern Iowa Cedar Falls, IA [log in to unmask]
