Essential RDA Principles for Effective Cataloging: Insights from the Georgia Summit

At the Georgia Cataloging Summit (Aug. 9-10, 2011), key RDA principles were distilled into "Top Twelve" guidelines for catalogers. The session emphasized user needs, element-based descriptions, and relationships among entities. Participants learned about various core elements, the importance of representation, and how to use cataloger's judgment effectively. Strategies included reducing abbreviations and maximizing pre-existing data reuse. The insights aim to enhance metadata practices and guide future systems, encouraging ongoing dialogue with technology vendors for improved solutions.
