Overview
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new cataloguing standard that replaces AACR2. RDA focuses on users and their information needs. Metadata created according to RDA instructions support improved resource discovery in the web environment.
This workshop will give an overview of the new standard and will look at the ways in which RDA maintains the relevancy of cataloguing in the networked web environment.
This session will also focus on the transition from AACR2 to RDA and will include a demonstration of the RDA Toolkit. Previous knowledge of RDA is not required.
