As someone who grew up with AACR2 cataloging rules in play, this book offers a ready to use and understand short and to the point book for one to better understand and minimally use RDA (Resource Description and Access). As a teacher librarian there are many occasions when the professional has to consider the issue of access to information over anything else. This book gives a thumbnail sketch of how RDA came into being, giving a short history about its cataloging code creation. It presents show more information on how to use RDA, its multiple format user ability, and its reasons to exist. Definitely not a cover to cover read, but instead a ready reference most teacher librarians and others who dabble in cataloging will want to have. Recommended. show less

If you are switching to RDA that is really the Anglo American Catalgoging Rules, third edition, then you will need one or several manuals and this one is as good as any we have seen thus far. Librarias are adopting the new rules over time, so the automation system you use may or may not be in the middle of the switch right now and perhaps they have various tutorials to help. The best thing you can do in the current systems is to have as many subject headings as you possibly can and if the show more system allows, ask your patrons to contribute tags on the system if you can make that happen. Did you actually read that last sentence? Would that idea be anathema to a cataloger? Would lightning strike you if you ALLOWED that to happen? Well, the OPAC has to start to compete with Google, so let’s use any tool at our disposal. New discoveray search engines are coming on board that search multiple collections and across many formats and collections. It’s about time. This book is recommended as one of a number available now. If there is a way to preview several, that would be ideal. show less

RDA is a new cataloging format that is going to replace the AACR2 cataloging rules. RDA stands for resource access and description andtheoretically it will affect all libraries at some point. For teacher librarians who use various automation systems, those vendors will at some point convert all present records in your catalog to RDA format. While Intner and associates in the Cataloging Correctly for Kids have a brief chapter about RDA, the current primer goes into much more detail. A number show more of useful guides will probably follow the implementation by the Library of Congress some time in 2011 or shortly thereafter. So, for those who want to get familiar with the looming complete transformation of library cataloging, here is a brief guide to help you get started. Of course, every term we already know will change, so it because a new cataloging language to learn and it will change even more fundamental ideas about cataloging and access. Go to it, catalogers. In the meantime, spend time starting to turn the OPAC into a two-way conversation rather than a one-way street by allowing kids to create lists in Destiny or something similar in other automation systems. show less
