[Heb-NACO] Creating authorized access points for liturgical works with uncertain dates

Mon May 19 17:47:12 EDT 2014

Hi Benjman, 

Dates are used as additions to differentiate between one work and another different work with the same title. (RDA 6.4). These follow the title and are enclosed in parentheses. 

They are also used as additions to religious works when needed to differentiate between different expressions or editions [RDA 6.24]. These dates go in a delimiter "f" and are preceded by a "." (RDA Appendix E.1.1). 

Thanks, Heidi

The library of Congress adds dates (in $f position) to 130 or 730 authorized bible headings only. It does not routinely add a dates to Jewish liturgical works such as Haggadah, Siddur, etc. unless required to break a conflict. In case of the later, see RDA 6.30.1.7 and 6.27.1.9. The date and any additional term you choose to differentiate the works are separated from each other by : and all are enclosed in a single pair of parentheses. 

This is not an official communication of the library of Congress.

Shalom all, 

The National Library of Israel has begun creating RDA records. In the past, we usually added the date of publication to the authorized access points for liturgical works. When a date was not known, we approximated the date in the 130 and added a 730 indicating that the date of publication was unknown. 

($a Haggada shel Pesah. $l English. $f 19--? $g London) 

($a Haggada shel Pesah. $l English. $f n.d. $g London). 

130 ( (הגדה של פסח. אמהרית. תשנ"-. ירושלים 

730 ( הגדה של פסח. אמהרית. ח"ש. ח"מ ) 

I have not found in the RDA Toolkit explicit instructions how to record uncertain dates in access points. It seems that 6.4.1.3 is the appropriate instruction but no examples are given. Due to the quantity of sifre kodesh in our collections, it is important for us to continue recording access points with this information. 

This week we created an RDA record for a braille Haggada: 

130 $a Haggada shel Pesah. $l English (Braille). $f [between 1950 and 1959?]. $$gNew York 

246 1 $a [New York] : $b Published by I. Rokeach and Sons in cooperation with the New York Guild for the Jewish Blind, $c [between 1950 and 1959?]. 

730 $aHaggada shel Pesah. $l English (Braille). $f Without date of publication. $g Without place of publication 

And another record for an undated Hebrew Haggada 

הגדה של פסח. תשכ"-. ירושלים. גור 130 

264 1 ירושלים : גור, [תשכ"ה בערך] 

264 3 דפוס סיון 

730 הגדה של פסח. חסרה שנת הוצאה. ירושלים 

Heidi and other experienced RDA cataloguers, are these access points legal? 

Thanks for your input.
