Good morning. I was off yesterday so have just signed in. We are a public library in Ireland and have not yet started RDA cataloguing from scratch, and have no immediate plans to do so. However most of our records are imported, and many of them are RDA records. We do some editing on them to make them work with our library management system...in particular we add a GMD if the item is a non-book type, and we add a 260 tag. The relator subfields in 1xx and 7xx tags are working OK in our OPAC, and we don't change them. If there is a choice of record to be imported we take the fullest one, regardless of which format it is.
Regards to all,
Tim

Subject: Re: training
I wonder also if there have been any areas of RDA that people have found it particularly difficult to either find training on or to teach and how you've dealt with it?
Conversely, has there been an approach that you've found has worked better than you thought, especially if it's a bit different, that you'd like to share your experience?

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] training
Hi,
There are only two of us here and I'm aware that some of the early training we had was perhaps too early to be of much use beyond awareness raising (useful itself, of course!)
I was wondering if colleagues who have been through this or are currently implementing RDA would recommend particular training before drawing up documentation and other forms of training during implementation itself?
Many thanks
Amy

Subject: Re: CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
At Warwick all staff were trained in the FRBR model before any mention of RDA was made. This because RDA, while still an evolutionary offshoot of AACR2, is fundamentally based in the FRBR model. In other words, it is the foundation for understanding RDA, like grammar is the foundation to language. You can train the transcription skills and the cosmetic differences between AACR2 and RDA, but it would be impossible to explain why these things are different, difficult to explain mistakes, or even to show why something is correct. We had 2 sessions of FRBR training and how that links (ha) to linked data, user tasks and so on.

Hi Helen,
After some discussion we decided to give all our cataloguing team the full training in RDA, including WEMI and FRBR. In fact, FRBR was the first module in our training (based on LC training materials).

Can I ask, in terms of training para-professional cataloguing staff are people planning on teaching FRBR and WEMI. Like Katrina I've focused on the actual practicalities of RDA for now with the thought that I will return to FRBR and WEMI when our catalogues are more structured in that way. But I'd be interested to hear what others are doing.

Thanks for this Jackie. I'm interested to see you've built in time for discussion sessions as well as just training. Do you anticipate continuing these once you start cataloguing fully?
I'm also interested in the whole WEMI thing. I suspect I've not given that as much thought as I should have compared to the actual practicalities of doing RDA. Maybe that's incredibly blinkered of me though.....

We have drawn up a training programme to take place over the next few months, starting with an introductory session for all staff, then more tailored sessions for cataloguing staff, with the expectation that they will do some self tutoring probably using the Cambridge materials (thanks very much for these), plus some discussion sessions. As mentioned earlier, trying to explain FRBR, and WEMI etc to the uninitiated, even the initiated, is quite a challenge!

Good afternoon and welcome back to the discussion on adopting RDA where we're turning our thoughts to training.
If you're just catching up with the morning discussion (and thank you to all those who have already contributed), then feel free to continue to reply to any messages.
As with the morning session, we'll have some prompts to direct the discussion, but please post anything you think is relevant. If you're posting about something new, then please give your subject header a relevant title so that those participating can keep track of conversations more easily.
A reminder that if you're replying to messages and want them to post to the list, then hit 'Reply to all' rather than just 'Reply' as that'll go only to the sender of the message and not the whole list.
To start this session, I'd like to start by asking
How did you approach/are you approaching training? - this can be for those in your team, or as touched upon this morning, for those who don't catalogue directly but still might be affected.

Subject: Re: CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
I think training does need to be tailored to the needs of the individual’s role. However, its useful for cataloguers / non cataloguers to use the same WEMI based vocabulary in order to make sure that the same concepts are understood in the same way by all those involved with an RDA implementation. Examples which illustrate these concepts are an important bridge to understanding.

Subject: Re: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
I think FRBR/WEMI are quite useful for those who'll be working with the RDA Toolkit because of its structure. I'm not so sure for those who are "just" end users of the catalogue. Maybe Bibframe's WIA (work - instance - annotation) would be sufficient as a concept? My experience from the FRBR workshops showed there was the most discussion & criticism around the distinction between Expression and Manifestation. Obviously, like mentioned by several of you, non-cataloguers might just need to see examples of concrete changes between AACR2 and RDA. Things like the relator terms don't really need explanation, do they?

Betreff: Re: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
I did include a section on FRBR/WEMI when I did a short presentation to our subject librarians a year or so ago when they were still doing cataloguing. It was at the time that we were first seeing RDA records in our catalogue. However, judging by the blank looks, either a) I wasn’t very good at explaining it, or b) they just didn’t care – all they really wanted to know what – “what looks different?”.
So I don’t think I will include it when I next do any presentations for general or Tech Services staff, other than perhaps to say that there is a whole theory behind the changes and they can look online [link to FRBR introduction videos] if they are interested to know more.

Subject: Re: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
I did wonder about explaining FRBR and WEMI and I'm honestly still not sure. I've got rather bogged down in trying to make it comprehensible and I'm not sure I've succeeded. I've thought of including it because FRBRisation is a term that is being bandied around here quite a bit now. I have memories of when I was trying explain the library catalogue to a group a while ago and somebody was literally snoring. I would like to try and avoid this if at all possible.
I would be interested to hear what other people think. Admittedly I'm talking about general staff here, not para-professionals. I think in the case of the latter we would have to try and cover it. I can't see how we can avoid it if we are 'selling' RDA, as it were, and explaining why we're using it.

Subject: Re: training
That's great, thanks. I've found the 'cheat sheets' that many places have put up on their sites invaluable as prompts for remembering what to do when you have the item in hand rather than wade through training material.
Also I have a 'test record' that I copy and use as a framework when cataloguing monographs from scratch when there are no records available so that takes care of a lot of the fields such as the 33X and the 264_4 etc... (plus remembering the i in the LRD field).

Although I started learning RDA on a DIY approach I'm in the unusual position that I was then fortunate enough to attend some training with Barbara Tillett. As a result of that and the (very helpful) Cambridge, BL and Oxford materials, I did some very training for the team introducing RDA and explaining how we would deal with RDA copy cataloguing , and I've also been able to produce our internal documentation.
Two members of my team have watched the Cambridge training modules and they are now producing training based on our documentation which they will deliver to the team. We are meeting on Wed this week for another discussion about that, but the current plan is for one session with the whole team, and then sessions with individuals or pairs to supplement that group training.
Despite having been on a course and watched online training etc I'm aware that there is still a lot I need to learn, in particular to do with formats other than monographs, so it's been very useful to hear about the sources people are using for DVDs this morning. I've just started last week trying to teach myself RDA for serials, but as I don't actually do any serials cataloguing it could potentially take me a bit longer to get my head round that I think!

We have drawn up a training programme to take place over the next few months, starting with an introductory session for all staff, then more tailored sessions for cataloguing staff, with the expectation that they will do some self tutoring probably using the Cambridge materials (thanks very much for these), plus some discussion sessions. As mentioned earlier, trying to explain FRBR, and WEMI etc to the uninitiated, even the initiated, is quite a challenge!

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
Good afternoon and welcome back to the discussion on adopting RDA where we're turning our thoughts to training.
If you're just catching up with the morning discussion (and thank you to all those who have already contributed), then feel free to continue to reply to any messages.
As with the morning session, we'll have some prompts to direct the discussion, but please post anything you think is relevant. If you're posting about something new, then please give your subject header a relevant title so that those participating can keep track of conversations more easily.
A reminder that if you're replying to messages and want them to post to the list, then hit 'Reply to all' rather than just 'Reply' as that'll go only to the sender of the message and not the whole list.
To start this session, I'd like to start by asking
How did you approach/are you approaching training? - this can be for those in your team, or as touched upon this morning, for those who don't catalogue directly but still might be affected.

Subject: Re: CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
Hello all
Just catching up with today's discussion, since I wasn't free to follow it live. OLIS, the community of Oxford University Libraries, implemented RDA at the same time as LC, BL, Cambridge and others. (We prefer to call it April Fools' Day here - no one here was cataloguing on 31 March, Easter Sunday.) Because OLIS has about 200 cataloguers scattered through about 100 libraries (Bodleian, college and departmental) we had to manage with 1 day of contact training per cataloguer, only about 5.5 hours allowing for breaks. Many OLIS cataloguers are part-time and/or are generalists who do only small amounts of cataloguing, which makes it unrealistic (as well as prohibitively expensive) to expect everybody to have a thorough knowledge of the RDA Toolkit, so our training and reference documentation is fairly freestanding and follows MARC order rather than Toolkit structure. You can find it at http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/our-work/cataloguing
We have only 5 Toolkit subscriptions, which seems to be adequate.
We use Aleph, and our systems cataloguer has created some neat fixes to help with AACR2>RDA conversion. As well as doing the usual things like changing 260 to 264 and 'p.' to 'pages', the fixes insert a local field which warns that the record is only partially converted and prevents export to RLUK and OCLC, which means that even acquisitions staff and paraprofessionals can safely download AACR2 records and use the fix. The local field is deleted only when a cataloguer has finalised the record. However, we do not convert 'trusted' AACR2 records, e.g. post-2005 LC and BNB full-level records.
We do not expect to retroconvert most of our existing records, although we have to convert individual records which need serious attention, given that we no longer expect cataloguers to be able to edit in AACR2. But we will probably add 33X fields (and possibly relators) globally to our AACR2 records if/when we get a resource discovery tool which can make good use of them. In the meantime we display the GMH in AACR2 records and also generate a quasi-GMH in our discovery tool (Primo) for RDA records for the sake of a consistent display. We do not display relators, because Primo would treat them as part of the hyperlink for the AAP.
We are fairly relaxed about hybrids now. For instance, we aren't too bothered if AACR2 records lack abbreviations. More structurally, the replacement of AACR2 multi-language headings in LCNAF (e.g. Homer. Iliad. English & Greek) with RDA single-language AAPs will mean that a lot of existing AACR2 bibliographic records will have to have their 130 or 240 fields replaced with multiple analytical 7XX fields, but we will leave the rest of the record as AACR2.
Best of luck to everyone who is planning to implement.

It seems a lot of the training is happening in a 'filtered down' way like this. I wonder if those of you who have done this think it has any benefits/problems compared with everyone going on the same training?
Related to this is the issue of self-paced learning. Those of you who took this approach, did you find it difficult to fit this round the rest of your work and, where it's happening in teams how did people check that everyone understood what they were learning?

Subject: Re: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG Monday Afternoon session: Training
On training para-professional staff: after a couple of us at the professional level attended the "FRBR for the terrified" workshop, I gave the paraprofs in our department a boiled-down version one morning, including making them do that activity to place different "things" on the WEMI scale. As the Toolkit is so organized around FRBR, I think they should at least have some introduction to it. Also, a number of our paraprofessionals are doing or have recently done their library qualifications and therefore are interested in learning the more "advanced" aspects.
But I do expect that they'll perform their day to day work referring to our local documentation and not worrying much about FRBR.

Can I ask, in terms of training para-professional cataloguing staff are people planning on teaching FRBR and WEMI. Like Katrina I've focused on the actual practicalities of RDA for now with the thought that I will return to FRBR and WEMI when our catalogues are more structured in that way. But I'd be interested to hear what others are doing.

Thanks for this Jackie. I'm interested to see you've built in time for discussion sessions as well as just training. Do you anticipate continuing these once you start cataloguing fully?
I'm also interested in the whole WEMI thing. I suspect I've not given that as much thought as I should have compared to the actual practicalities of doing RDA. Maybe that's incredibly blinkered of me though.....
