Several abbreviations in the imprint field (260) in AACR2 are not valid with RDA.

In AACR2, all information taken from outside the resource was put under the same set of brackets. Under RDA each element taken from outside the resource should be in its own set of brackets. MARS 2.0 will separate in a single set of brackets into separate brackets.
Here are several options for expanding these imprint abbreviations.

===Missing publication date===
With RDA, names of months of the year are not to be abbreviated in the 260.

PCC/LC policy is to try to supply a date of publication if at all possible rather than use the phrase ‘date of publication not identified’. If the publication date is not available and a copyright date, or phonogram date is available, we can use these dates to supply a probable publication date. Or if preferred, we can include the phrase [date of publication not identified]

RDA 4.3 : 260 field (Imprints)

Rda4-3.png

Bracketed imprint information

In AACR2, all information taken from outside the resource was put under the same set of brackets. Under RDA each element taken from outside the resource should be in its own set of brackets. MARS 2.0 will separate in a single set of brackets into separate brackets.

Latin abbreviations

AACR2 used the Latin abbreviations S.l., s.n., in the 260 $a and 260 $b when either the place of publication or publisher name were not available. With RDA, new phrases have replaced these Latin abbreviations.

  • [S.l.] in $a is replaced with [Place of publication not identified]
  • S.l. in $e is replaced with [Place of manufacture not identified]
  • s.n. in $b is replaced with [publisher not identified]
  • s.n. in $f is replaced with [manufacturer not identified]
  • n.d. (rarely used) in $c is replaced with [date of publication not identified]
  • n.d. (rarely used) in $g is replaced with [date of manufacture not identified]
 
 original field:
    260 $a [S.l. : $b s.n.], $c 1963.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a [Place of publication not identified] : $b [publisher not identified], $c 1963.
 

Missing publication date

PCC/LC policy is to try to supply a date of publication if at all possible rather than use the phrase ‘date of publication not identified’. If the publication date is not available and a copyright date, or phonogram date is available, we can use these dates to supply a probable publication date. Or if preferred, we can include the phrase [date of publication not identified]

 
 original field:
    260 $a London : $b Collins, $c c1965.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a London : $b Collins, $c [1965], c1965.
 

Abbreviations expanded

RDA uses standard abbreviations for most places such as states, countries, etc. Place names that don’t have a standard RDA abbreviation will be spelled out in the 260 $a and $e. Also abbreviations such as Dept. and Co. that may be found in the 260 $b and $e can be spelled out. If you choose to have these changes made, be aware that it is ‘all or nothing’. The system cannot determine if the abbreviation was that way on the resource.

 
 original field:
    260 $a Am. Samoa : $b Dept. of Safety, $c 1987.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a American Samoa : $b Department of Safety, $c 1987.
 

Updating dates

There are many changes in the way dates are recorded from AACR2 to RDA. The following are changes that can be applied by machine to the 260 $c. These changes are explained below.

With RDA, names of months of the year are not to be abbreviated in the 260. This rule uses the same month abbreviation table as is used for changing access fields (see Step 5.2)

 
 original field:
    260 $a Paris : $b Le Robert, $c Jan. 2010.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a Paris : $b Le Robert, $c January 2010.
 

In the 260 $c and $g, ca. is no longer used to represent circa or approximately. Instead, a question mark ? should be added after the date:

 
 original field:
    260 $a London : $b O.Hodgson, $c [ca. 1830].
  
 updated field:
    260 $a London : $b O.Hodgson, $c [1830?].
 

Printing or pressing dates should now be enclosed within square brackets with a question mark at the end of the date.

 
 original field:
    260 $a New York : $b Knopf, $c 2010 printing.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a New York : $b Knopf, $c [2010?].
 

With AACR2, a dash could be used to represent an unknown number within a date. In using RDA, the dash is no longer used. A range of dates encompassing the unknown number should now be used. If there is a question mark included in the date, the question mark should remain at the end of the date range. The following types would be changed in 260 $c:

  • Decade is certain: [197-] becomes [between 1970 and 1979]
  • Probable decade: [197-?] becomes [between 1970 and 1979?]
  • Century certain: [18--] becomes [between 1800 and 1899]
  • Probable century: [18--?] becomes [between 1800 and 1899?]

When either a c or p is the character right before a date, they should be changed for either the copyright symbol © or phonogram symbol ℗. The words ‘copyright’ and ‘phonogram’ should also be changed to the appropriate symbol.

 
 original field:
    260 $a Berlin : $b Gerschel, $c c1964.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a Berlin : $b Gerschel, $c ©1964.
 original field:
    260 $a New York : $b Anchor Books, $c p2001.
  
 updated field:
    260 $a New York : $b Anchor Books, $c Ⓟ2001.
 

As explained above, the copyright or phonogram date can be used to supply a publishing date when missing.
