[Heb-NACO] compilation treatment in MARC

Tue Jun 28 14:17:42 EDT 2016

Hi Bob,

This is one of those non-intuitive situations that we often come upon with religious works accompanied by significant commentaries.

I always start by looking at the document "

RDA Special Topics: Compilations & Collaborations<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiopZqiqcvNAhUS6WMKHaAUASYQFggfMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2Faba%2Frda%2Fsource%2Fspecial_topics_compilations.ppt&usg=AFQjCNHtuRvmfXo18b_cA1J9CxE-LajDJA&bvm=bv.125801520,bs.2,d.cGc>"

slides 33-37

Much as it seems off I think that what you have is the situation found on slide 33 which is what you have presented us.

Your other alternative if you feel very strongly is to make a note with the publisher's comments; enter it under the heading for psalms:

130 Bible.|pPsalms

and add an access point for

700 1 Adari, Refaelm,|ewriter of added commentary.

If anyone has other thoughts I am happy to hear.

Best, Heidi

Subject: [Heb-NACO] compilation treatment in MARC

Folks:

I have a work in front of me that is causing me RDA problems:

Iyunim be-sifrut mizmore Tehilim / Dr. Refael Adari.

The book is a compilation of two parts: the full text of Psalms and
Dr. Adari's commentary, which has no special name aside from Iyunim
be-sifrut mizmore Tehilim.

Since it's a compilation, the structure is:

24500 XXXXXXXXXX
7XX12$Container of (work):$aXXXXXXXX
7XX12$Container of (work):$aXXXXXXXX

For the piece in hand,

24500 Iyunim be-sifrut mizmore Tehilim ....
70012$iContainer of (work):$aAdari, Refael. $t Iyunim be-sifrut mizmore Tehilim
73002$iContainer of (work):$aBible. $p Psalms. etc.

The problem for me is that in its presentation, the publisher is
clearly emphasizing the commentary as the major feature of the book
even though it's one of two constituent parts.

1) Is this truly a compilation or is there a way of reading the rules
(aside from a less-than-full encoding level) to allow for a more
intuitive/AACR2-esque approach, e.g.

10010Adari, Refael
24510Iyunim be-sifrut mizmore Tehilim ....
73002$iContainer of (work):$aBible. $p Psalms. etc.
?

2)  "70012$iContainer of (work):$aAdari, Refael. $t Iyunim be-sifrut
mizmore Tehilim" makes me uneasy, mostly because I think it'll cause
confusion among both patrons and catalogers.  Am I correct in my
formulation?  Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks for your help.

Bob
