RDA enables a name authority record to be a much more dynamic tool in the bibliographic universe than an AACR2 authority record. Attributes or identifying characteristics of a name may be recorded in an RDA authority record, thereby enabling that authority record to serve current and future bibliographic needs in a much more dynamic way. This webinar will explore the differences between an AACR2 "two-dimensional" authority record and the much more robust and dynamic "three-dimensional" RDA authority record.
This webinar is part of the Fall 2012 RDA webinar series, which also includes:
- Recording RDA Elements in MARC 21 Fields in Name Authority Records
- RDA for the Non-Cataloger: What’s in It for You?
- RDA in 10 Easy Steps
Originally presented on Wednesday, October 17, 2012.
