[Heb-NACO] Fwd: RDA Toolkit appendix B.10 (Hebrew and Yiddish abbreviations)

[Neil Manel Frau-Cortes]

Dear all,

See below. What do you think about Ahava's question? My impression is that
we are not replacing terms on a resource by abbreviations under RDA
(certainly not at Maryland).

Thanks,


Neil

Shalom,



As the RDA Steering Committee finishes up work on 3R, they've been
discussing the appendices in the current Toolkit. I've asked, and been
granted permission, to have the largest Hebraica cataloging policy bodies
(AJL, LC, and NLI) make a recommendation about the fate of the Hebrew and
Yiddish abbreviation appendix.



The Latin script abbreviations are all for recorded elements. So the
question about our appendix is:

*Are the abbreviations specified used in recorded elements or do they
belong to transcribed elements?*



If we're talking recorded elements – things that you consistently change
from what's on the resource (as we used to change edition statements to ed.
or מהד'), the appendix needs to stay. If all the terms are found in
transcribed elements, those we copy from the resource, then the list more
properly belongs as a resource in the AJL documentation than as a mandate
in the Toolkit. In Israel we don't use any of these terms in recorded
elements.



Here's the list:





Do you know of cataloging agencies which would replace the term used on a
resource with the abbreviation when creating a record?



Kol tuv,



-          Ahava
