One of the *very* few improvements of RDA over AACR2 is what to do in this instance. If there is to be one record (which our clients would want if the discs are to be in one container and circulated together), the cataloguer is to supply a title as opposed to stringing out individual titles as is done in AACR2. The various discs must have something in common for them to have been packaged together, which would give you an idea for a supplied title, e.g., [Classic movies of the 1950's], [Movies starring Gary Grant], [Nature films], etc. This RDA provision is not disallowed by AACR2, so you are not breaking any present rule by adopting the practice now. If you do string out the titles, the $h[gmd] is given only once after the first title. That was a later change in MARC21 coding; earlier it was after the last title, but still only once. >But I'm not sure how best to handle separate & distinct responsibility >statements, publication info, etc. One of the most frequent changes we make in derived DVD records is combining responsible persons and corporate bodies in 508. Dividing them between 245 /$c and 508 makes no sense to most of our clients. For these, as for most DVDs, we would have no 245/$c, but 508's.(Continue reading)
