The following links to training material (RDA in particular) and references were already mention this morning, so I compile them here: http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/our-work/cataloguing https://cambridgerda.wordpress.com/ http://www.slainte.org.uk/aacr/training.htm http://www.cilip.org.uk/cataloguing-and-indexing-group/professional-tools-and-resources John Bowman's 'Essential Cataloguing' Ed Jones' 'RDA and serials cataloguing' Stephen Miller's 'Metadata for digital resources' Anne Welsh's 'Practical Cataloguing' Anything else you'd like to add? Also, some more questions for us to ponder: - What has proven most effective for you and/or your trainees? - Do you still train in AACR2? Or know of anyone? - If you have implemented RDA, how much time do you spent on FRBR principles? - Do you think RDA itself a manageable resource for new cataloguers? If you think not, how do you find or provide simplified materials? -- Esther Arens MCLIP The Precentory 23 St Martins Leicester LE1 5DE The British Film Institute is governed by Royal Charter and is a charity registered in England and Wales number 287780.
