CILIP Executive Briefing
- RDA: Resource Description and Access – Meeting the challenges of
strategic change

Library
managers face major challenges and key decisions in the lead up to the
implementation of RDA: Resource Description and Access. Its launch in
June 2010 will be one of the biggest changes in standards for bibliographic
data management and access since MARC21 a decade ago.
RDA’s
launch is expected to transform cataloguing standards that have been virtually
unchanged for 30 years. Existing standards, as laid out in the Anglo
American Cataloguing Rules, have struggled to keep pace with new publishing
formats and new publishing practices. RDA will provide a more flexible
framework for resource description and access, and make bibliographic
information accessible on the web.
To
help all those affected get to grips with this major strategic development,
CILIP has secured leading experts from across the library and information
community for a new Executive Briefing. Titled RDA: Meeting the
challenges of strategic change, it will be presented in London on 23
March, and look at the new cataloguing code and its implications, highlighting
the issues that really matter to those working at a strategic level.
