Dear All
Would you or your cataloguers be interested in attending this event in Wales?
An introduction to RDA (The new Cataloguing Guidelines) – a joint Cataloguers in Wales/BDS workshop
The Cataloguers in Wales Group would like to arrange a workshop on RDA (Resource Description and Access) to take place in 2013. The workshop will be led by Jenny Wright, Development Manager and resident RDA expert at Bibliographic Data Services Limited.
Workshop details:
This is an introductory course and will include:
• An introduction to RDA, covering its history and the conceptual model on which it is based.
• A look at the web-based rules in RDA Toolkit.
• An examination of the principal differences between RDA and AACR2.
• How to code RDA records in MARC21.
• An emphasis on worked examples and practical information.
The workshop will benefit cataloguers and metadata experts seeking a practical introduction to RDA, and those responsible for implementing the standard.
We are thinking roughly the end of summer, beginning of autumn for the event, and wanted to know what months are best for you.
To register your interest in the event and nominate your preferred months please contact:
