Create a new RDA compliant record (MARC Editor)

You can create a new RDA record in the MARC editor.

To add a new RDA record

  1. Select Catalog > Library Search.
  2. Find the title you want, and then click Details. The Title Details page appears.
  3. Select Edit Title > Use MARC Editor. The MARC editor appears.
  4. Select the appropriate material type and, if applicable, the Subtype . If the default Material Type is not Book, Destiny refreshes the content in the 336, 337, and 338 fields, in addition to that in the Leader and 008 fields.
  5. Review the 336, 337, and 338 fields. These fields are repeatable. You can add as many as needed to describe the item. To facilitate the RDA cataloging, the Indicator values, subfields, and subfield contents lists contain only acceptable values, and the subfield information for subfield _2 contains the proper RDA entry. You can edit any of these fields or add additional ones:
    1. To edit an existing field, click in the field. The Edit tag <number> page appears. To add a new field, select one from the Add Tag list.
    2. To change the contents of an existing subfield _a, select it from the Content type term list. To add another subfield, select the subfield and contents from the lists at the bottom and then click Add.
    3. To rearrange the subfields, click the up and down arrows. To delete one, click the red X. Please note that you cannot delete the last 336 or 338.
    4. Click OK.
  1. Type in the Publication Info in one or more 264 fields. Do not use a 260 field.
  2. Complete other fields as needed.
  3. Click Save Title.
