Specific Guidelines for Sound Recordings
- If available, the title on the disc will always be used for the 245, even if a collective title is available on the container.
- There is no more $h in the 245. Instead, you will see:
336 performed music $2 rdacontent
337 audio $2 rdamedia [not required]
338 audio disc $2 rdacarrier - "Audio disc" replaces "sound disc."
- Encoding information (i.e. CD audio) is now included in 300 $b UNLESS the information is included in $a. Playing speed is now an optional addition to $b, as well.
Examples of different possibilities for the same item300 1 audio disc (53 min., 45 sec.) : $b CD audio, stereo ; $c 4 3/4 in.
300 1 audio disc (53 min., 45 sec.) : $b CD audio, stereo ; $c 12 cm
300 1 compact disc (53 min., 45 sec.) : $b digital ; $c 4 3/4 in.
300 1 audio disc (53 min., 45 sec.) : $b CD audio, digital, stereo, optical, 1.4 m/s ; $c 4 3/4 in.
- Some information about classical works (medium of performance, numberic designation, key) may be included in access points (i.e. uniform titles), or in fields 382, 383, and 384, or in both. LC decided that this information must go in the access point, and optionally may additionally be included in the 382-4. However, libraries that don't adhere to LC guidelines could use any combination of these.
- Performers can no longer be used as 100/110 for classical music under any circumstances. There will be a lot more compilations with a title main entry.
- Some records will only have one (author-) title access point.
- You might see records with a "devised" collective title in brackets. This title won't appear anywhere on the item, and that's okay.
