“I know what [RDA] is, why it's been developed and where to find more information about it“

“I have studied FRBR but it looks very complicated as a basis for cataloguing rules”

“The terminology I find confusing, e.g. manifestations and expressions - none of the glossaries seem to make clear exactly what these mean at least not enough for me to explain it clearly to others.”

Differences betweenAACR2 and RDA

MARC 21 and RDA

“Training needs to be straightforward for non-professional cataloguers”

“How much the differences matter in day to day work.”

“…what changes do we need to make to [LMS] to gain the benefits”

“As I don't understand what most of these options are it's difficult to rank them”

6

Will your institution implement RDA?

Yes

No

Too early to say

“Advantages for cataloguing e-resources, digitisation projects”“…Depends on decisions of record creators (e.g. BL, BDS) and

LMS suppliers”“ Our initial reaction is not good - it would be more work therefore

more cost, which could not be coming at a worse time”“I was under the impression that there was no choice in this. I

thought it was replacing AACR2.”“Not even thought about it.”“We may not be able to justify the cost of the Toolkit!”

16

What aspect of current rules causes most difficulty?

• Applying them to artefacts and non book materials

• Easily adapting for local practice - e.g. more detailed local material descriptions

• Expressing information about media/format

• Multi-part works - one record or several?

• None• AACR2's relationship with

MARC21 and the underlying database

• Punctuation • Applicability to modern

resources such as ebooks, DVDs, Web resources etc.

• Serials peculiarities

17

Training Needs

18

What topics should training cover for each of

these categories of staff?• It is important that the reasons for the adoption

of RDA are justified to decision makers and to all stakeholders”

• “Need a very simple and basic training package for most staff, and a more detailed offering for cataloguer”

• “FRBR … is not really apparent in the records or the catalogue display without different software and treatment of legacy records”

• “cataloguers and system administrators need practical hands on "this is how you do" type training”

“

What is your preferred method for delivery of RDA training

Develop in-house using own resources 47%

Deliver in-house using own trainers 41%

Deliver in-house using external trainers 28%

Deliver off-site 35%

Deliver on-line 35%

training likely to be organised by wider organisation. Hopefully all in-house

It depends on current financial constraints

I currently deliver MARC21 training to library assistant cataloguers so I would be expected by senior managers to deliver RDA training

How much time would your institution be prepared to commit to training the following

How much would your institution be willing to pay (per capita) for RDA training

<£100

>£400

22

Comments

• We expect to do training in house.• I would have thought it would be more

appropriate to charge mainly for time, with an element for the number of attendees

• A lot less than £100!• Our training budget is very limited. We could not

afford external training for all 10 cataloguers. Perhaps the 2 professionals could attend external training and cascade this to library assistants.

23

Comments

• If the changes were profound, which they are not likely to be in the short term, and the benefits demonstrable, then I think it might be acceptable to pay lots on training.

• We would be obliged to issue a call for tender

• funding would be for senior cataloguers only (2-3) and this would be cascaded

24

Would you be interested in assisting CIG to offer RDA training to other institutions?

Yes

No

25

Next steps

• Post results on CIG Website– Encourage discussion

• Invite new members to joint Task & Finish Group

• Plan modules required

• Evaluate delivery options

• Prepare materials
