ALCTS webinar: Rare Materials and RDA: Exploring the Issues
Date: May 23, 2012
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Are you unsure about how (or whether) to apply RDA to rare
materials? This webinar will present an overview of RDA provisions
related to rare materials, including both bibliographic and authority
records, and will explore how well RDA and Descriptive Cataloging of
Rare Materials (DCRM) can be used together to describe rare materials.
The webinar will reflect work sponsored by the ACRL Rare Books and
Manuscripts Section's Bibliographic Standards Committee, including a
white paper prepared by the presenters.
Who Should Attend? Catalogers of rare materials with a desire to learn
more about cataloging rare materials in an RDA environment.
Presenters: Robert L. Maxwell is senior librarian and chair of the
Special Collections and Formats Catalog Department at the Harold B. Lee
Library at Brigham Young University. His most recent book, FRBR: A Guide
for the Perplexed, was published in 2008. He has chaired the RBMS
Bibliographic Standards Committee of ACRL and has served on the
Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA) of ALCTS. He is
the author of the Highsmith Award-winning Maxwell's Guide to Authority
Work as well as Maxwell's Guide to AACR2, and is currently completing
the manuscript for Maxwell's Guide to RDA, to be published soon by ALA.
John Attig is Authority Control Librarian at Penn State University,
where he has worked since 1978 and where he currently holds the rank of
Distinguished Librarian. He has been active in the development and
maintenance of standards relating to cataloging, including the MARC 21
formats, AACR2, and RDA. Since 2007, he has served as the American
Library Association's representative to the Joint Steering Committee for
Development of RDA. He was one of the editors of Descriptive Cataloging
of Rare Materials (Books).
