Hello all,
I am an extreme neophyte when it comes to RDA. I don't perform much cataloguing
and when I do it is mostly copy cataloguing. I have not run into any records,
as of yet, that look different than the AACR2 convention that I have become
familiar with. Can someone point me to an RDA reco

I would just point out that, for most if not all of us, a hybrid catalog is
already the norm. For example, plenty of pre-AACR2 records persist
(particularly for serials) in our catalog as in LC's and the like.

Anguished is the right word.
There are some provisions of RDA which we will not adopt in original
cataloguing, and edit in derived records.

We are fortunate to so far have derived no RDA records. We tend to
catalogue less usual material.

We developed a database walk to change existing records, being posted

These changes to legacy AACR2 records would make them more like RDA,
but perhaps better to export RDA records to be more like AACR2?

Assuming that many of the members of the
list are going to be using RDA for future records, I am interested
in knowing what people are planning for their existing records?
Browsing a catalog of jumbled records does not seem like a
desirable exercise for use
Maybe this is obvious, but just in case--
RDA Appendix A refers to capitalizing words. The examples make it clear that
"capitalize" does not mean "write in all upper case." It means to
differentiate the letters of a word by writing one or more in uppercase,
usually just the first letter. When all
My speed of reading is decreased by enough that I can observe myself reading
instead of just knowing what the words are without thought. It took several
attempts to recognize the word "TURBERVILLE." "HANKINS" was hard too.

Yeah, if RDA _required_ all capital titles, that might be bad. I
