STEP 5.4 : RECORDS TO FLAG

flagged records

There are a few rules in RDA that cannot be fully completed through an automated process. For these types of changes, a minor change can be made to the record and then the field is added to a report for you to review and make any further changes that may be necessary:

• If the statement of responsibility (245$c) has ellipsis ... and [et al.], then this data is removed and the record flagged. If desired, someone at the library can manually add additional information to the statement of responsibility so that more than three contributors are included.
• Spelling errors in the title field (245) should no longer be marked with [sic]. Instead, the spelling error is retained and a 246 can be added with the corrected version. MARS 2.0 will remove [sic] and then flag the record so that a cataloger can add any necessary 246 fields.
• Other indicators of a mistake within the title may have been marked with [i.e.] in the 245 field. As with the spelling errors, MARS 2.0 will remove the [i.e.] information and flag the record so that an appropriate 246 can be added manually.
