RDA cheat sheet

Instead of adding AACR2's GMDs to records that lack them, whenever cataloging a record in these formats, make sure these fields are present. Also add these fields in AACR2 records. Note: Except for e-resources, field 347 is locally required when applicable, in both RDA and AACR2 records.
The following are examples that 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 rather than simply copying what is here.
In WorkFlows, this data is used to populate the Material Type column.
