ABSTRACT

Resource Description and Access (RDA) is scheduled to replace the AACR2 cataloging code in 2008. This presentation provided an overview of RDA, especially as it relates to serials. Among the topics explored were RDA’s background, organization, and relationship to various standards (including FRBR, the draft Statement on International Cataloging Principles, and MARC 21). In addition, the presentation discussed the potential impact of the new code on current cataloging practices. doi:10.1300/J123v52n03_06 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
