RDA : the Inside Story
 
Ingrid Parent, Assistant Deputy Minister, Documentary Heritage Collection Sector, Library and Archives Canada; Marcia Salmon, Serials and Electronic Resources Cataloguing Librarian, York University Libraries; Pat Longo, Head, Cataloguing Services, Brock University Library.

 
RDA is the new content standard for Resource Description and Access which will be published in 2009. It is emerging from a major restructuring and re-evaluation of current cataloguing rules. RDA supersedes AACR2. It is a new tool, more flexible and extensible than AACR2, more logical and thus easier to use, applicable beyond traditional cataloguing, and designed for use in an on-line, networked environment. Learn about the scope of RDA, hear a progress report and begin to explore the impact of RDA.
