Preparing School Library Media Specialists for
Resource Description and Access (RDA)
Objectives
Understand the role of FRBR and FRAD in RDA
Understand the impact of RDA on cataloging tasks
Understand the impact of RDA on user operations
Devise a strategy for implementing RDA in the school library media center
2
What do I need to learn about RDA?
The main questions being asked are How do we use it? How do we implement it in our library? Are the vendors creating new systems
that use it? Perhaps the most challenging aspect will
be learning the complexity of the FRBR entity-relationship models in which information resources are classified as Works, Expressions, Manifestations, and Items (often referred to as WEMI).
3
Where we are and how we got here
Resource Description and Access (RDA) replaces Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed. (AACR2) in January 2010, as an online database product to incorporate the features and functionalities of online access. (JSC, website)
Based in part on conceptual models in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD)
Motivated by :• Changes in technology
• Impact on descriptive/access data• Book catalogs• Card catalogs• OPACs• Next generation
• Move from the isolated individual library to incorporation of the international audience
• Move from classes of materials to elements and values (more controlled vocabularies)

Intention of RDA
Broaden the statement of principles (Paris Principles) All types of resources (not just books) Bibliographic relationships, descriptive cataloging,
not Subject Cataloging at this time Access (not just choice and form of entry, but all
access for bibliographic and authority records)Builds on
Great cataloguing traditions of the world FRBR and FRAR and future FR-Subjects
7
AACR2 vs. RDA: difference in proportions
AACR2 Description of information entities—13 chapters
(Part 1)Weak on access points; talks of main and added
(MAP, AAP), have to look all over Part II for access point provisions (e.g., title access points are discussed in chapter 21 only and then only as a default provision, not much direction)
Is not really based on the idea of a “work”, rather it is very much based on the unit record system.
8
AACR2 vs. RDA, continued
RDADescription is covered in 4 chapters, everything
else is about access pointsForm is no longer the first decision; chapters are
not based on form (e.g., no longer have chapters 2-12 as in AACR2)
Does not focus on the unit record system—it can be, but it doesn’t need to do so—rather it operates on the idea of a “work”
Does not put the cataloger in the decision of having to decide Main and Added Access points; we don’t need those distinctions any longer although it does use the idea of a “preferred access point”
9
How much will I have to re-learn?
RDA now outlines the first step in creating a catalog record as deciding on the type of description to be represented, and not deciding on format, although format is still integral
Types of description (rules 1.2) Comprehensive, analytical, or multi-level description
More emphasis on showing bibliographic relationships (e.g., taxonomy of bibliographic relationships) in order to better allow clustering of records Read--works by B. Tillett, R. Smiraglia; M. Yee, S. Vellucci,
E. O’Neill, D. Vizine-Goetz, just to name a few…
10
Preparation
Cataloging community must study the conceptual model offered by FRBR and
FRAD Read and study drafts of RDA as released Provide feedback to JSC
Vendors must consider re-design of their systems in order to incorporate new functionality of bibliographic and authority data

What’s a conceptual model?
Abstract depiction of the universe of things being described The things in that universe (entities) Identifying characteristics of those
entities (attributes/elements) The relationships among the entities

Why do we need FRBR?
Improve the user experience in locating information Guide systems designs for the future Guide rule makers
Cut costs for the description and access to resources in our libraries
Position information providers to better operate in the Internet environment and beyond
Applications of the Conceptual Model
FRBR is conceptual model No application is
prescribed Opportunities for
the future in new systems designs Australia, Europe Variations3, etc.
Keep user foremost in mind

FRBR Benefits
CollocationBetter organization to catalogMore options to display
• Identifying elements• Pathways
38
☑ Simplify cataloging enabling links and re-use of identifying elements
Objectives of Catalogs

Content, media, and carrier types
Content type MARC Leader/06 - must continue to use
Less granular than RDA MARC LDR/06 code examples
• e - cartographic material • f - manuscript cartographic material
New field 336 - use if want to record exact RDA terms
$a Content type terms$2 Source RDA term examples
• cartographic dataset• cartographic image• cartographic moving image• cartographic tactile image• cartographic tactile three-dimensional form• cartographic three-dimensional form

Content, media, and carrier types
Media type MARC 007/00 – close match with RDA
007 provides coding for multiple facets of resource MARC 007/00 code examples
• h - microform • s - sound recording
