RDA in 10 Easy Steps
RDA (Resource Description and Access) is the successor to the cataloging rules, AACR2. RDA completely revamps the structure of the cataloging instructions by closely following the entity-relationship model used to construct databases. However, as complex as these changes are, they can be reduced to ten easy steps. Join in on a walkthrough of the new structure. Through a demonstration of how a simple book can be cataloged with RDA, catalogers will have a greater understanding of the new structure and will be able to navigate RDA more easily to find related instructions and instructions for other resources.

Who Should Attend:
Catalogers and technical services staff
