ALCTS webinar: Changes from AACR2 to RDA. Part 1: Description (February
2, 2011)
ALCTS webinar: Changes from AACR2 to RDA. Part 2: Access Points
(February 9, 2011)
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Part 1 and Part 2 are companion webinars requiring separate
registration to view both.
Description: RDA (Resource Description & Access) was published in June
2010 and has been undergoing a test by the U.S. national libraries and
others. This webinar will, using numerous side-by-side examples in MARC
format, show the most significant changes between AACR2 and RDA
cataloging practices. Part 1 will cover descriptive elements, and part 2
will cover access points.
Audience: The webinars are aimed at catalogers familiar with AACR2 who
want to learn more about how RDA records will differ from records
created under AACR2 rules. The webinars assume a familiarity with the
MARC 21 bibliographic and authority formats, and with FRBR.
Presenter: Adam L. Schiff is Principal Cataloger at the University of
Washington Libraries, Seattle, Washington. He served as chair of one of
the two RDA Examples Groups that supplied all of the examples found in
RDA. He has chaired the ALA/ALCTS/CCS Committee on Cataloging:
Description & Access, and the MARBI (Machine-Readable Bibliographic)
Committee, and currently chairs the ALCTS/SAC Genre/Form Subcommittee.
He is the author of the SACO Participants' Manual, and is a trainer for
NACO and instructor for several courses of the Catalogers Learning Workshop.
This is the first is a series of five webinars on RDA. The webinars
included in the RDA series are:
