Overview
• What is RDA?• Basics of FRBR and FRAD• Differences from AACR2• Changes to MARC format• Publication and pricing information• Timeline for testing• How can you prepare for RDA?• Resources
RDA is…
• New cataloging code to replace AACR2• A content standard• Designed to be used online
RDA is not…
• A display standard
• An encoding standard
Who is responsible for the development of RDA?
Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC)consists of representatives from:• American Library Association• Australian Committee on Cataloguing• British Library• Canadian Committee on Cataloguing• Chartered Institute of Library and Information
Professionals• Library of Congress
http://rda-jsc.org/rdafaq.html
Why a new cataloging code?
• RDA is:– Designed for describing all types of resources– Designed to be more flexible in an international
setting– Designed to make it easier for library data to
interact with other bibliographic data
Basics of FRBR
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
• Conceptual model developed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
• Entity-relationship model• Based on user tasks
Basics of FRBR
User Tasks
• Find• Identify• Select• Obtain
Basics of FRBR
Entities
• Group 1– Entities that are products of intellectual or artistic endeavor– Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item
• Group 2– Entities responsible for intellectual or artistic endeavor– Person, Corporate Body
• Group 3– Entities that are subjects of intellectual or artistic endeavor– Concept, Object, Event, Place
Basics of FRBR
Relationships
FRBR is based on relationships between entities, both those in different groups and those in the same groups

Basics of FRAD
User Tasks
• Find• Identify• Contextualize• Justify
Differences from AACR2
• Structure– AACR2 is organized by classes of materials– RDA has overarching principles that are applicable
to all materials
Differences from AACR2
• Structure– AACR2• Part I – Description• Part II – Headings, Uniform Titles, and References
– RDA• Recording attributes• Recording relationships
Differences from AACR2
• RDA Structure – Recording Attributes– Section 1 – Recording Attributes of Manifestation
and Item– Section 2 – Recording Attributes of Work and
Expression– Section 3 – Recording Attributes of Person, Family,
and Corporate Body– Section 4 – Recording Attributes of Concept,
Object, Event, and Place
Differences from AACR2
• RDA Structure – Recording Relationships– Section 5 – Recording Primary Relationships Between a Work,
Expression, Manifestation, and Item– Section 6 – Recording Relationships to Persons, Families, and
Corporate Bodies Associated with a Resource– Section 7 – Recording Subject Relationships– Section 8 – Recording Relationships Between Works,
Expressions, Manifestations and Items– Section 9 – Recording Relationships Between Persons, Families,
and Corporate Bodies– Section 10 – Recording Relationships Between Concepts,
Objects, Events, and Places
Differences from AACR2
• Authority data instructions included in RDA– Special coded dates– Associated place– Address– Field of activity– Affiliation– Occupation– Gender– Family information– Associated language
Differences from AACR2
• Terminology
AACR2 RDA

main entry authorized access point
added entry access point
uniform title preferred title for a work
heading authorized access point

Differences from AACR2
• Categorization of resources– AACR2 has GMDs– RDA has media type, carrier type, and content
type

Differences from AACR2
• Level of description– AACR2 has first, second, and third levels of
description– RDA has core elements and other elements
Differences from AACR2
AACR2 first level of description– title proper– first statement of responsibility– edition statement– material specific details– first publisher, etc.– date of publication, etc.– extent of item– notes– standard number
Differences from AACR2
RDA core elements– title proper– first statement of responsibility– designation of edition– designation of a named revision of an edition– numbering of serials– scale of cartographic content– first place of publication– first publisher’s name– date of publication– title proper of series/subseries– numbering within series/subseries– identifier for the manifestation– carrier type– extent
Differences from AACR2
• Sources of information– AACR2 specifies a chief source of information for
each class of material– RDA divides resources into three categories and
specifies a preferred source of information for each:• one or more pages, leaves, sheets, or cards• moving images• other resources
Differences from AACR2
• Transcription– Abbreviation• AACR2: abbreviations used in some transcribed elements• RDA: abbreviations in transcribed elements permitted
only if abbreviations appear on the source
Example:Appears on item as: Second editionAACR2: 2nd ed.RDA: Second edition
Differences from AACR2
• Transcription– Inaccuracies• AACR2: inaccuracies corrected within transcribed
elements• RDA: inaccuracies should be recorded as they appear
on the source
Differences from AACR2
• Statement of Responsibility– AACR2 - Rule of three– RDA – transcribe statement of responsibility as
found, regardless of number• Optional omission instructions
Differences from AACR2
… / by Nancy Drew, Bess Marvin, George Fayne, and Ned Nickerson.
Optional omission:
… / by Nancy Drew [and three others].
Notice: … [et.al.]. is not used
Differences from AACR2
• Publication information – two or more places of publication– AACR2 – give the first named place and the first
place in the country of the cataloging agency– RDA – give the first named place, regardless of
country
Differences from AACR2
• “AACR2 vs. RDA”• Presentation by Tom Delsey– ways in which RDA differs from AACR2– http://presentations.ala.org/images/1/10/LLL-Dels

Timeline for Testing Library of Congress
“The test period will begin after the test partners receive access to RDA Online.
Test Days 1 through 90: Test partners use this three-month period to become familiar with the content of RDA and with navigating RDA Online.
Test Days 91 through 180: Test partners produce records in the test and share them with the US National Libraries RDA Test Steering Committee.
Post-Test Days 1-90: The US National Libraries RDA Test Steering Committee analyzes the results of the test and prepares its report to the management of the three national libraries.
After Post-Test Day 91: The report is shared with the US library community.”
