INDEX
This index covers the instructions and appendices for Resource Description and Access. The locators for the instructions are the rule numbers. Because the locators are arranged hierarchically, index entry terms with shorter (higher) locators can be assumed to include all the instructions under it. For example, "Extent of Text, 3.4.5" covers the range of rules from 3.4.5.1–3.4.5.22. Some of the instructions with their examples may run for several pages, e.g., 6.27.1.3 (Collaborative Works). Remember to read the entire instruction before applying it.
Appendices D (Record Syntaxes for Descriptive Data) and E (Record Syntaxes for Access Point Control) are not indexed in detail. In general, examples are not indexed, but there are see or see also references for instructions 19.2.1.3 (creators) and 20.2.1.3 (contributors) from the classes of persons. For example:
Administrative regulations
compilers
See examples under 20.2.1.3 [Recording Contributors]
Users who are comfortable with RDA terminology can use the index to refresh their memory on a specific instruction. Terms from AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules) are also included in the index with appropriate see references. For example:
General material designation
Words and phrases enclosed in square brackets are explanatory glosses which clarify or distinguish index terms with different meanings. For example:
Subtitles [moving images]
accessibility content, 7.14
in language different from spoken content, 7.12
Subtitles [texts]
Words enclosed in parentheses—(work), (expression), (manifestation), and (item)—are part of the element name for relationship designators.
The relationship designators for related works in appendix J are indexed with their reciprocal relationships, for example, based on (work)/derivative work.
The index is alphabetized word-by-word, with numerals preceding letters. Numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks at the beginning of index entries are filed as if spelled out. They are also filed at the beginning of the alphabet, before the A's. Hyphens and other punctuation, as well as prepositions preceding subentries, are ignored in filing. Thus "reel-to-reel" is filed as if spelled "reeltoreel."
