This is not to neglect the other liaison roles that several of us fill in such cataloging constituencies as the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), the Music Lib- rary Association (MLA), the Music OCLC Users Group (MOUG), the Online Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC), the Map and Geospatial Information Round Table (MA- GIRT), the IFLA Permanent UNIMARC Committee (PUC), the IFLA Cataloguing Section Standing Commit- tee, and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC). Since 2006, OCLC has kept up with some fifteen MARC 21 Bibliographic, Authority, and Holdings Updates through a total of nine OCLC-MARC Updates. The OCLC-MARC Updates since 2010, in particular, have been devoted overwhelmingly to elements defined for RDA. LC keeps an "RDA in MARC" page up-to-date at http://www.loc. gov/marc/RDAinMARC.html. OCLC Technical Bulletins can be found at http://www.oclc.org/support/documen- tation/technicalbulletins.en.html , although most of the appropriate material from the TBs has been incorporated into Bibliographic Formats and Standards (http://www. oclc.org/bibformats/en.html) and/or Authorities: Formats and Standards (http://www.oclc.org/support/services/ worldcat/documentation/authorities/authformat.en.html) . In May and August 2014, OCLC installed the two pha- ses of the 2014 OCLC-MARC Update, comprising the MARC 21 Bibliographic, Authority, and Holdings Up- dates No. 16 (April 2013), 17 (September 2013), and 18 (April 2014) (Library of Congress, 2014). Among the elements included are: • All new MARC codes announced by the Library of Congress between April 2013 and June 2014. • New code "l" (letter "el") defined for "Format of Mu- sic" (FMus; Music 008/20 and 006/03). • New subfields $q (Qualifying Information) in Biblio- graphic (and Authority and Holdings, where applica- ble) fields 015, 020, 024, and 027. • New subfields defined for Bibliographic and Authority 046 field. • Subfields $c (Location of Meeting) made repeatable in Bibliographic and Authority X10 and X11 fields. • New subfield $3 in Bibliographic field 250, plus ma- king field 250 repeatable. • New Bibliographic and Authority fields 385 (Audi- ence Characteristics) and 386 (Creator/Contributor Characteristics). • New First Indicators for the Bibliographic 588 field. • New subfields $7 (Control Subfield) in Bibliographic 8XX fields. • New Authority X62 fields for Medium of Performan- ce Terms. • New Authority fields 672 (Title Related to the Entity) and 673 (Title Not Related to the Entity). Full details can be found in OCLC Technical Bulletins 263 (http://www.oclc.org/support/services/worldcat/docu- mentation/tb/263.en.html) and 264 (http://www.oclc.org/ support/services/worldcat/documentation/tb/264.en.html) . The multidimensional Content, Media, and Carrier terms and codes that in RDA replace the one-dimensional Ge- neral Material Designations (GMDs) may be the most familiar of the new Bibliographic fields. OCLC imple- mented these in 2010. The three fields – 336 for Content Type, 337 for Media Type, and 338 for Carrier Type – are identically structured, with subfield $a for the appropriate term, subfield $b for the corresponding code, subfield $2 for the source of the term and/or code, and subfield $3 for "Materials Speci- fied," the part of the described materials to which the field applies. Because both the terms and the codes are supposed to be from controlled lists, they can theoretically be prog- rammed to display (or not display) as, for example, text in any language or as some sort of icon. Different combinati- ons of 336, 337, and 338, could be defined as a particular sort of icon or a specific term, and so on. • 336 – Content Type (Repeatable): "The form of com- munication through which a work is expressed. Used in conjunction with Leader/06 (Type of Record), whi- ch indicates the general type of content of the resour- ce. Field 336 information enables expression of more specific content types and content types from various lists." (Library of Congress, 2009a) • 337 – Media Type (Repeatable): "Media type reflects the general type of intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource. Used as an alternative to or in addition to the coded expression of Media Type in field 007/00 (Category of Material). Field 337 information enables indication of more spe- cific media types and media types from various lists." (Library of Congress, 2009b) • 338 – Carrier Type (Repeatable): "Carrier type reflects Jay Weitz: REACHING DECISIONS AND ADJUSTING – RDA AND OCLC
