Making the Move to RDA: A Self-Study Primer for Catalogers is aimed
at catalogers working in the MARC environment who currently create
records using AACR2 and need to transition to using the new
standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA). Since both RDA s
structure and content differ from AACR2 in many respects, this
primer details the development and rationale for RDA as well as its
intended goals, principles, and objectives. It then explains RDA s
theoretical underpinnings collectively known as the FRBR Family of
Models. Framing the text along these lines provides readers the
context for understanding the similarities and differences between
AACR2 and RDA, both in terms of content and structure. With this
foundation in place, the book takes the reader on a survey of RDA
elements used to describe bibliographic and authority records and
demonstrates how the MARC code has been expanded to accommodate new
elements. Finally, it leads the reader field-by-field through MARC
bibliographic records for book and non-book resources as well as
through authority records for works, expressions, persons,
families, and corporate bodies, describing the similarities and
differences between AACR2 and RDA for each field. Examples are
provided throughout the text to help the reader visualize the
concepts presented."
