Hello all,

Module 7.2 shows image examples of the different types of variant titles
that we still give (parallel title, running title etc.) although we would
code the 246 fields differently. I like the idea of retaining the examples
of the various types and updating 246 indicators in the record examples to
current practice.

I agree with Steven's suggestion of using the CEG for noting past MARC
coding practice rather than Module 22. This is also a good example of the
type of CEG revision that your group may run into and will need to track
for your report.

I think also in this case it probably would not hurt to add a very brief
footnote in CCM Module 7.2 pointing out that past practice was to use the
list of 2nd indicator values found in the MARC 21 format. --Les

If we have to have footnotes, I hope we keep them as brief and general as possible ("formerly, more specific indicators were used").

(You’d have to realize that it’s a former practice in order to consult a module on former practices!  If you’re a new RDA cataloger who never used AACR2 or earlier codes, how would you know that?)  I’d hate to see the CCM follow the model of the RDA Toolkit for endless links resulting in incessant clicking (often with no useful result).  I think that the context of the former practice is useful (e.g. former practice about use of indicator values for variant titles is important to have when talking about variant titles).  If information on the former practices is retained, I’d suggest the footnote approach that Mary mentioned.

Currently, the content and examples of Module 7 (most frequently seen in section 7.2) offer guidance on when to use specific indicators in field 246, including second indicator 4 for cover title and 6 for caption title. However, according to the CONSER MARC-to-RDA Core Elements document, current CONSER practice is to code all variant titles as 246 1# or 246 11 for parallel titles.

We could either simply remove any mention of indicators that aren’t 246 1# or 246 11, or we could keep the information on the additional indicators, and add something stating that current practice is to use 246 1# or 246 11. Before we commit to one of the methods, we thought that we’d get a sense of how other CONSER members would like this situation to be handled.
