Understanding RDA Authority Documentation: Best Practices and Policies in Libraries

This resource outlines the key aspects of authority documentation in RDA (Resource Description and Access), focusing on the distinction between "policy" and "best practice." As libraries transition to RDA standards, many authority rules will evolve, yet many remain consistent with AACR2. This module provides guidance on accessing and utilizing RDA Toolkit, LCPS, MARC 21 Authority Format, and PCC resources. It emphasizes the importance of flexibility as libraries adapt to new documentation standards and navigate ongoing changes in authority rules.
