12. LCC Examples (1)

Examples following observe local policy in 050 _4. Examples do not represent a complete record; the original records often reflect LC production level or minimal level standards. Additional fields may have been added or changed to conform to standard practice. Subfields not required by BSR are noted <NR BSR>.

EXAMPLE 1. OCLC # 86112543. Hybrid of traditional/popular Japanese music. (Chindon Tsushinsha is a Japanese Dixeland band).  Standard YUL practice for CJK & Near East non-roman scripts is to use linking fields. The number following 880 in the roman script fields is the key to the sequence of the variable fields in the vernacular script at the end of the record. The vernacular script fields are linked back to the roman script fields via the MARC tags and their sequence numbers. The romanized and vernacular script fields are paired up in OCLC records but are automatically separated as part of the Voyager export processing to conform to Voyager protocols. Apparently there is no place in the schedules to enter folk-traditional instrumental music other than under Secular vocal music.

Although field 382 is not generally recommended, for non-Western instruments it may be of value, but only if the instruments have been established in the LCMPT thesaurus (on the ClassWeb menu, open Search Medium of Performance Terms). LCMPT does not list chindon or niko, so there is not much point in creating a 382 field. Compare with Example 7 on page 13 (gamelan).

EXAMPLE 2. LCCN 2005587656 (brief record modified for RDA). A standard record for YUL cataloging would include the linking fields. Under RDA 2.2.2.4.1 the source for the statement of responsibility is preferably the same source as the title proper. In this case, the preferred source for the title proper was the disc, but the statement of responsibility did not appear on the disc but appeared on the accompanying material issued with the disc. But accompanying material is still a preferred source (3rd choice), so it is not bracketed. RDA 2.4.1.7 allows insertion of bracketed information for "clarification of role." Under AACR2 6.1F1, a statement of responsibility for the performer could not be taken from accompanying material (and if the performer did not appear in the statement of responsibility, the performer could not be construed as the principal performer & could not be entered in 100). In either case, the performer ends up in 700, since RDA doesn't recognize the principal performer as a primary creator.

Exceptionally, the folk-traditional-ethnic range for music of China has additional special numbers for Chinese opera, M1805.3 [General] and M1805.4.A-Z [Local types & styles by region]. Neither YUL nor LC have any recent sound recordings. The numbers could also be applied to videos.

EXAMPLE 3. LCCN 2008419115 Traditional music from India. Production level. Classification is not very granular, but LCC is not particularly granular for popular music in general. YUL practice does not use linking fields for South Asia scripts.

EXAMPLE 4. Bollywood music. LCCN 2009310238. Production level.
