I teach cataloguing as part of  a compulsory Cat & Class module on our MSc Information and Library Studies here at RGU. The arrival of RDA has certainly made it more challenging to fit everything in - well, it's impossible to fit *everything* in, but I'm trying to include a reasonably representative sample of both AACR2 and RDA, because I think many libraries are in transition, and some may not change in the near future, so best to equip students either way. In any case, it's good to know where the rules came from. I thought, when I was nominated to take up the cataloguing aegis from a predecessor, that I was in for an easy life, just the decennial updates to AACR to worry about. Ooops. ;-)



Sorry if this is late, I'm finding even the volume of the digests too hard to keep up with, along with the day job.



Regards,



Alan
