RDA Essentials - Sept. 17th (MLSC)
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new content standard adopted by the Library of Congress and other National Libraries on March 31, 2013. It is different in many ways from the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2) in use since 1978, but similar in other ways. This half-day workshop, led by cataloging consultant Dodie Gaudet, chronicles RDA's development, the thought process behind its structure, how it works, its differences from and similarities to AACR2, and where to look for more information.
