Pre-Conference

Resource Description and Access "RDA": New Code for Cataloging

June 2, 1:00pm-5:00pm and June 3, 9:00am-12:00pm

Presenter: Magda El-Sherbini

This workshop will focus on Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new cataloging standard and successor to AACR2. The workshop will provide attendees with: background and development of RDA; RDA structure; description of manifestation and items; identifying works, expressions, and manifestations; identifying persons, identifying families; identifying corporate bodies and relationships. A special section of the workshop will be devoted to explaining how catalogers will describe "continuing resources" and present relationships using RDA. Attendees will participate in practical hands-on exercises
