RDA records.

The RDA records should be readily identifiable as they will all contain:
-040 $e rda
-Leader/18 (catloging form) coded i =ISBD punctuation or blank
Some of the records may also contain new fields such as 336, 337, 338, 380, 381.

If you come across these records do not import from Voyager.

You may clone these records to create an AACR record but you must do the following
-Replace 040 as per original cataloguing
-Change leader/18 (cataloging form) to "a" = AACR2
-Remove all system numbers.
You should also remove any 336, 337 and 338 fields and change any data that is not in accordance with AACR2

Libraies Australia does not yet support 336, 337, 338, 380, 381 so RDA records on LA will not have these nos.

Remove all system numbers except the 019 (Libraries Australia no.)
