All the best, Peachy ------------------------------ *From:* Julie Whiting [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Thursday, 3 December 2009 10:30 AM *To:* rdaaust-l *Subject:* [rdaaust] Article on RDA training You may be interested in the following article that provides some basic information about preparing training for RDA. *Hitchens, Alison and Symons, Ellen. "Preparing catalogers for RDA training" * *Cataloging & classification quarterly*, *Vol. 47, issue 8 (2009), p. 691-707* Abstract: *This article prepares catalogers for the new cataloging standard Resource Description and Access (RDA) by giving trainers and Library and Information Science (LIS) educators the information they need to plan training for themselves and their staff or students. The theoretical principles of RDA are introduced as well as the corresponding vocabulary that trainers will need to use. This is followed by an overview of the structure of RDA as compared to the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd ed. (AACR2). Examples of rule changes and options are highlighted for trainers along with a reminder to review existing cheat-sheets and manuals that are based on AACR2. Finally, types of training formats are suggested.* Julie Julie Whiting Manager, Serials Section National Library of Australia Ph: +61 2 6262 1157 Fax: +61 2 6273 4322 email: [email protected] ********************************************************************** The addressee named and may contain confidential information.
