Absolutely agree about getting lost in the depths of RDA. I really wanted to consult Anne's book rather than going straight to RDA, but all the copies were out of the library!

(though I think originally I just transcribed it, given RDA's emphasis on transcription). Would also add: I've found this kind of jumping form rule to rule happens a lot. Whilst the online format of the toolkit makes this much faster than flipping pages, I feel sometimes that I'm lost in the depths of RDA and can't find my way out again! HelenD.
