I have found Adam Schiff's presentations on the changes from AACR2 to RDA to be very helpful. Adam includes many examples in his slides. They are available on his home page: http://faculty.washington.edu/aschiff/
Also, recordings of ALCTS webinars are usually available at no cost 90 days after the original presentation. The free webinars in the ALCTS RDA series are available at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1AAFB573158DC4A1&feature=plcp. Best, Susan Susan C.

Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 10:11 AM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: Re: [RDA-L] Cross training The Library of Congress has extensive (some might say overwhelming) training materials on RDA. They are all free. This is the general page: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA%20training%20materials/index.html This link in particular (which is not readily obvious from the descriptions on the general page), supplies LC's in-house training: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA%20training%20materials/LC%20RDA%20Training/LC%20RDA%20course%20table.html These additional free websites summarize some changes from AACR2 to RDA, in their respective contexts. They are somewhat more convenient snapshots than full-blown training. Changes from AACR2, by the JSC: http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/5sec7rev.pdf (may be somewhat out of date as RDA continues to be edited) MARC21 changes for RDA, by LC: http://www.loc.gov/marc (select "RDA in MARC" link on the page) OCLC changes for RDA: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/technicalbulletins (#258, 260, 261) John F.
