  1. RDA: A New Approach to Cataloguing Margaret Stewart Standards, Library and Archives Canada SOLS, April 21 and April 23, 2009

  2. Outline • RDA, the standard • review of key features • influences on RDA – FRBR and FRAD • comparison with AACR2 • examples • RDA, the web tool • content: the RDA instructions and content • tools: functionality to improve cataloguing work • Looking ahead to training

  3. RDA, the standard • new standard designed for use in digital environment • replaces AACR2 • removal of Anglo-American bias • not just for libraries • focus on organizing information for the benefit of the user

  4. RDA replaces AACR2 • RDA builds on the strengths of AACR2 • AACR2 is used around the world • translated into 24languages • constantly evolving • FRBR and FRAD conceptual foundation

  5. FRBR • Focus on the user (end-user not cataloguer) FRBR tasks Find Identify Select Obtain

  6. IME ICC International Cataloguing Principles 0. General Objectives There are several objectives that direct the construction of cataloguing codes. The highest is the convenience of the user. 0.1. Convenience of the user of the catalogue. Decisions taken in the making of descriptions and controlled forms of names for access should be made with the user in mind.

  7. RDA Structure • General Introduction • Elements • Relationships • Appendices • Capitalization, Abbreviations, Initial articles, etc. • Presentation (ISBD, MARC 21) • Relationship designators

  8. Sect. 1: Recording Attributes of Manifestion and Item Chapter 1: General guidelines Chapter 2: Identifying manifestations and items FRBR task = Identify Chapter 3: Describing carriers FRBR task = Select Chapter 4: Providing acquisition and access information FRBR task = Obtain

  9. New RDA terminology heading access point area element uniform title preferred title see reference variant access point main entry preferred access point physical describing carriers description

  10. RDA elements • Core • GMD replacement: Media, Carrier and Content Types • Other new elements: Custodial information for archival resources, Braille characteristics

  11. RDA Elements • RDA element • Title element • Title proper element sub-type • Parallel title element sub-type • Other title information element sub-type (etc.)

  12. “Designed for the digital world” • work with existing catalogues and database structures • take advantage of newly emerging database structures • re-use of metadata • describe and give access to all types of resources, analog, digital, etc.

  13. RDA vs AACR2 • RDA: “to take advantage of the digital environment” • stop fussing about abbreviations • more “take as is” – principle of representation • transcribe inaccuracies; add note if necessary • enable re-use of metadata • AACR2: rules from the card catalogue era • when to abbreviate, when not to abbreviate – concern with space on card • “transcription” but also required to omit and sometimes to supply data • use of [sic] or correction of inaccuracies

  14. RDA vs AACR2 • RDA: content standard • not a display standard • use with many encoding schema • data elements • use by non-library metadata communities • AACR2: content and display • many display conventions already ignored • “areas” with string of data tied together: not friendly for use in a web environment • the library’s standard

  15. RDA vs AACR2 • RDA: “to describe all types of resources” • three separate elements to record: • Content type • Media type • Carrier type • AACR2: problems with new types of resources • limitations of rule 0.24 • rules organized according to “class of material” • limited list of GMDs

  16. RDA vs AACR2 • RDA: more information for users • no more restrictions such as “rule of three” • make the relationships between entities clear to the user: appendices I,J and K = lists of relationship designators • no more Latin abbreviations • AACR2: limitations of the 3 x 5 card • limits for description & access when multiple authors • more focus on single record, less on relationships • “et al.”, “S.l.”, “s.n.”

  35. Suggested changes for systems 35 • New MARC fields for RDA elements • Content type, carrier type/media type • Added relator terms (Appendix I) • Authority format fields for dates, places, etc., for names

  36. More system changes 36 Input/verification functions (import/export) Indexes for new data elements

  37. “Legacy” records (now in systems) 37 Existing records generally will not need changing (exceptions: ‘global updating’ for Bible, Department) MARC 21 encoding standard

  38. RDA Online and Local System 38 Designed to allow integration with library systems Initially view in parallel through Web connection

  39. RDA training • 1st release of RDA will be as an online resource • focus on training and implementation plans after 1st release of the full content • testing and training will use RDA online • different models for delivery of training under consideration e.g., web seminars, “train the trainer”
