Looking for a comprehensive, all-in-one guide to RDA that keeps it
simple and provides exactly what you need to know? This book covers
planning and training considerations, presents relevant FRBR and
FRAD background, and offers practical, step-by-step cataloging
advice for a variety of material formats. The new cataloging
standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA), will have
far-reaching impacts on your library in terms of how it approaches
resource description and access. RDA has been in use at the U.S.
Library of Congress since early 2013 and is being widely adopted in
the international library community. Today's catalogers need to
understand RDA's basic concepts and principles as well as how to
apply its rules in order to provide relevant information services
in the 21st-century. This book helps you tackle the challenges of
implementing the new cataloging code (RDA/Resource Description and
Access) in the MARC environment, providing emphasis on practical,
straightforward RDA advice for today's busy cataloger. After a
general discussion on planning and training for RDA, the author-a
technical services/systems librarian with more than two decades'
experience-presents a comprehensive review of RDA's conceptual
basis in FRBR and FRAD before providing easy-to-follow, practical
guidance on cataloging today's diverse library resources using the
new code, covering print, audiovisual, and digital materials. The
book is a must-have resource for librarians who catalog on a broad,
general level, with or without authority work, and who may or may
not be cataloging specialists, but are responsible for handling
many different formats. Catalogers at busy libraries committed to
getting their new materials out to their users as quickly as
possible will also find this work extremely helpful. Supplies an
accessible, up-to-date guide to RDA in a single resource Covers
history and development of the new cataloging code, including the
results of the U.S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee Report Presents
the latest information on RDA cataloging for multiple material
formats, including print, audiovisual, and digital resources
Explains how RDA's concepts, structure, and vocabulary are based on
FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) and FRAD
(Functional Requirements for Authority Data), both of which are
reviewed in the book
