JSC Proposals
The following proposals were discussed and assigned to ACOC members to respond
6JSC/ALA/18
ACOC generally supports the intent of the proposal however has concerns with recommendation 8 which will be outlined in the response
6JSC/ALA/19
ACOC’s position is that instructions should be applicable for all countries. Having exceptions for places, such as Malaysia, does not sit well for an international, consistent standard
6JSC/ALA/20
ACOC generally supports the proposal. There are concerns with new wording at 2.1.2.3 B “...numbering not considered significant” as this may not useful or clear for cataloguers
6JSC/ALA/21
ACOC supports the recommendations but in Recommendation C disagrees with the removal of the term “eye-readable” in the alternative at 2.2.2.3.
6JSC/EURIG/2
ACOC supports the intention of this proposal but has reservations about the proposed wording at 6.10.1.1 and the grouping of content types at 6.10.1.3
6JSC/EURIG/3
ACOC generally supports this proposal but has concerns with use of term “text”, which is limiting. There is also disagreement regarding the use of square brackets in examples as RDA is not intended to prescribe punctuation.
Unallocated JSC Proposals
The following proposals have not been discussed
- ALA/12 and ALA/14 – music proposals
- ALA/15
- BL/9
Plan for Future Teleconferences
ACOC set out a plan for coming teleconferences to ensure coverage of all proposals
Update on RDA Training
Catherine advised that places on the three courses are close to being full. An additional course has been scheduled for 26-28 November. Priority was given to 1) Educators and training agents; 2) Large libraries and 3) Others. Letters have been sent to those in the third category advising they are unlikely to be offered a place
