Getting Ready for RDA:  Preparing for the Transition

 

Libraries are gearing up for the first overhaul in cataloging rules in
nearly three decades, coupled with the challenge of implementing them in
a dramatically changed world of information.  One major newcomer since
the 1990s is FRBR so we invited Dr. Athena Salaba from Kent State SLIS
to begin the meeting with a presentation on FRBR and its impact on
libraries and their catalogs, as well as how it relates to RDA.  Rick
Block, Head of Special Collections Metadata and Cataloging at Columbia,
and an adjunct professor at the Library Schools of the Pratt Institute
and Long Island University, will follow with a brief overview of RDA and
then provide us with ideas for how we can already start preparing for
its implementation.  As you can see, the objective of the day is not the
nuts and bolts of these two new standards, but rather, getting ready to
take on this new way of describing and retrieving information from our
catalogs.  Please join us as we prepare for this brave new world!
