Description:

Resource Description and Access (RDA) will replace AACR2 in 2010 with a new set of guidelines and instructions for cataloging. RDA will cover description and access for traditional and digital resources with a strong foundation based from the FRBR model. Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) will not only influence the rules of cataloging, but also impact the future online catalog design. This class provides an overview of FRBR, gives the background and organization of RDA, discusses current developments in RDA, explains RDA’s relationship to FRBR, and outlines the expected changes for libraries. This two-hour class will help you contribute to the ongoing information community discussions of these emerging directions and revisions.
