Getting Ready for RDA

Description
This two-session workshop will help you prepare for Resource Description and Access (RDA)—the anticipated next edition of cataloging rules for much of the English speaking world. We’ll look at some of RDA’s basics, as well as the basics of one of its underlying conceptual models, the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR).

The changes between RDA and the current Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd ed. (AACR2) will be reviewed, as will the new and changed MARC bibliographic record coding required by RDA.

Participants will have exercises to complete between the workshop’s sessions to reinforce certain of the concepts we discuss.

NOTE: This course is designed for individual participation. Regardless of whether you attend as an individual or as a group, the fee for this online workshop will be charged for each person who views the session. All participants must register separately.

Who Should Attend
Library staff from cataloging, interlibrary loan, reference and any other departments who want to learn about the OCLC MARC bibliographic format.
