No Jackie, you are not alone. Many people are finding it difficult to rethink basic concepts of Work-Expression-Manifestation-Item. It's took something relatively simple to understand and muddled it with technical terminology.

I am just wondering whether anyone else is struggling as I am with RDA. I am finding the terminology rather impenetrable and the descriptions very convoluted. Would be good to know I am not the only one, or is it a sign of my age and my 32-year acquaintance with AACR2?
