RDA cheat sheet

Except for e-resources, field 347 is locally required when applicable in RDA.

These examples demonstrate what the fields can look like; for fields that may vary from item to item, like playback channels and region encoding, use the correct values for the item in hand.

In WorkFlows, some of this data is used to populate the Material Type column.
