Talks 4. RDA

Abstract

“Rethinking Our Cataloging Choreography: Cataloging Special Collection Materials Using RDA”: Drawing from their expertise as current RDA special collections catalogers, panelists will share their experiences cataloging rare materials in the RDA environment, focusing on what works well in RDA for rare materials description as well as highlighting areas of the new standard where more guidance might be necessary. Panelists will share illustrative bibliographic examples and discuss how they reconcile DCRM(B) practice and the RDA standard in their own cataloging. Panelists will also share their insights on how to best proceed with revisions of DCRM as we work as a community to align with RDA’s framework.
