  4. Realistic Expectation of This Seminar • By attending this seminar on RDA • You will NOT become an EXPERT on RDA • You will have a general understanding on • what RDA is • If you ARE a cataloger, you should do further study • on RDA • If you are NOT a cataloger, you may be bored

  5. What is RDA? • RDA = Resource Description and Access • RDA is to replace Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition (AACR2) • WHEN? • Library of Congress has announced its plan to implement RDA on March 31, 2013 • OCLC Connexion Service (namely, OCLC Cataloging Service) has been ready to support RDA

  6. What is Cataloging? • Bring order out of mess • Consolidate mass of detailed information • into an organized, easy-to-find fashion • Bring together related information • Authority control • Subject headings • Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)

  7. Why Do We Need Cataloging Rules? • Create consistency • Easy for users to find information • Standardize practices • Among catalogers of same library • Among other libraries • Nationally and internationally • For End Results • Ease of use • Economy

  8. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) • First published in 1967 • Designed for use in the construction of catalogs • and other lists in general libraries of all sizes • Cover the description of, AND the provision of • main and added entries for, all library materials • commonly collected “at the present time” • The age of card catalogs • No Internet; No World Wide Web

  9. AACR – Cataloging Principles • Cataloging from the item “in hand” rather • than inferring information from external • sources • Concept of “chief source of information” • which is preferred where conflicts exist

  10. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2nd edition (AACR2) • Published in 1978, 11 years after AACR • Still the age of card catalogs • Still NO Internet; Still NO World Wide Web • Reconciled British and North American texts • Adoption of International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) • De-superimposition in the U.S.A. — changed the • previous practice of entering corporate names under • place, to their distinctive names according to AACR2 • Style — Chicago Manual of Style • Spelling — Webster’s New International Dictionary

  11. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2nd edition (AACR2) • Part I — Provision of information describing • the item being cataloged • Part II — Description and establishment of • headings under which the descriptive • information is to be presented to catalog • users, and with the making of references to • those headings

  12. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2nd edition (AACR2) — Amendments • AACR2 — 1988 revision • AACR2 — 1998 revision • AACR2 — 2002 revision • Annual updates in 2003, 2004 and 2005 • Replaced by Resource Description and Access • (RDA) — released in June 2010 • Incorporates Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records • (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) • A framework more flexible and suitable for use in a digital • environment

  13. Resource Description and Access (RDA) • Emerged from the International Conference on the Principles & Future Development of AACR, held in Toronto, Canada in 1997 • Requiring a substantial revision to AACR2 and thus could have been known as AACR3 • Abandoned AACR3 in favor of a new set of rules which is now known as “Resource Description and Access” (RDA)

  14. Resource Description and Access (RDA) • A set of instructions for cataloging of books and • other materials held in libraries and other cultural • organizations such as museums and galleries • A new standard designed for use in a digital • environment • Built on foundations established by the Anglo- • American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) • To replace AACR2

  16. Resource Description and Access (RDA) • Based on Functional Requirements for • Bibliographic Records (FRBR) • Establishing a hierarchy of relationships in • bibliographic data • AACR2 — format-based • RDA — FRBR-based, namely, relationship-based • Records created according to RDA should • be compatible with existing records created under • the rules of AACR2
