ALCTS webinar: RDA: Benefits for Users and Catalogers
Date: November 3, 2010
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: This webinar will explore the benefits of RDA. It will
begin by looking at how RDA evolved from AACR2, and will discuss how
RDA's new direction is advantageous for both users and catalogers. Do
RDA's objectives and principles have an impact on the user? How do RDA's
instructions make a difference for the cataloger? Will resource
descriptions be more precise? Can RDA data support improved navigation?
Will RDA allow us to get cataloging data out of library silos? The
webinar will be an opportunity to look at these questions and consider
the practical effect of RDA guidelines and instructions on resource
description and resource discovery
Presenter: Chris Oliver has worked at the McGill University Library
since 1989, as a cataloguing librarian and cataloguing manager. Her
current position is Coordinator of Cataloguing and Authorities. She
received her M.A. and M.L.I.S. degrees from McGill University. Chris is
the Chair of the Canadian Committee on Cataloguing and has served as a
member of the Joint Steering Committee's Format Variation Working Group
and as Chair of the RDA Outreach Group. She is the author of Introducing
RDA: a Guide to the Basics.
