Catalogers of all materials formats are gearing up to take on and learn new ways of doing things with RDA. Catalogers of cartographic materials are no exception. This session will help attendees in relearning the intricacies of mathematical data areas, learning how to apply the new 3XX fields, and understanding the “take what you see” principle. Take a different route toward creating bibliographic records for maps.
This presentation will provide an overview of the cataloging of moving image content using RDA, focusing on areas that differ from AACR2, are challenging to interpret, or are in need of community consensus. Examples include DVD, Blu-ray, streaming video, and video games. An ALCTS Webcast.
This webinar illustrates the practical application of RDA guidelines and options in creating descriptions, highlighting the resulting variations in bibliographic records for the same item. Snippets of MARC records are used to compare the RDA descriptions against AACR2 descriptions. A short introduction covers the basic principles and organization of RDA, and its relationship to FRBR.
This webinar provides a general overview of the changes in RDA, particularly those affecting staff in technical services and those noticeable in the OPAC. No knowledge of current cataloging standards or MARC required!
