Records created using RDA are required to have all of these data elements with the exception of the 264 field. A 260 field may be used in an RDA record.

ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 Conversion In 2007 the International ISBN Agency introduced new formats for ISBN numbers. Prior to 2007, the ISBN format was 9 digits plus one check character (either a digit or an X). This is now referred to as an ISBN-10. Starting in 2007, the format is identical to that of an EAN-13 Universal Product Code. It consists of 12 digits (starting with 978 or 979) followed by a single checkdigit. It is only possible to convert between ISBN-10 numbers and ISBN-13 numbers starting with 978. ISBN-10 / ISBN-13 Converter Note that hyphens and spaces within ISBN numbers are for human readability and are not signifiant. ISBN-13 Format Details The full specification of an ISBN-13, specifying how the number is split between Prefix Element, Registration Group Element, Registrant Element, Publication Element, and Checksum (along with details of the checksum calculation) can be found in the 2005 ISBN User's Manual.

CIP Records (AACR2/RDA): Guidelines for Upgrading with Examples | Yale University Library For: Technical Services Staff By: Steven Arakawa Issue date: 12/01/2005 Revised date: 05/2014 CIP cataloging records are created from publisher's electronic data sheets sent to the Library of Congress prior to publication. General scope of the CIP program Significant exceptions Note that cd-roms, video, sound recordings, scores, maps, serials, & microforms are excluded from the CIP program. NOTE: These guidelines describe standard descriptive cataloging and tagging procedures. During the RDA test period, some LC catalogers created a number of CIP records in accordance with RDA. At Midwinter 2012, LC announced an implementation date of March 31, 2013. During the transitional period (and it could be for some time), we expect to continue to receive a mix of AACR2 & RDA cataloging in the copy cataloging workflow. The CIP documentation has been augmented to identify RDA records by catalogers, and how to complete the records according to RDA instructions.
