RDA Changes from AACR2 for Texts: A New Online Webcast from Library of Congress
Here's a webcast that was just made available on the Library of Congress web site. It was recorded on January 12, 2010.
The primary audience for this event is obviously catalogers (those who use AACR2, RDA, etc.). However, even if you don't catalog but want to stay current on what's going on in that arena, this 75 minute video presentation might be of interest.
As the United States begins to prepare to test the new cataloging code, RDA: Resource Description and Access, this presentation explores the changes from AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed.) that the new code brings. The focus of this presentation is a brief overview of the changed instructions for cataloging textual materials.
The presenter is Barbara Tillett, chief of the Policy and Standards Division, Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate at the Library of Congress. Ms. Tillett is also a member of the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA.
