Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new cataloguing standard that will replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR). The 2010 release of RDA is not the release of a revised standard; it represents a shift in the understanding of the cataloguing process. Author Chris Oliver, Cataloguing and Authorities Coordinator at the McGill University Library and chair of the Canadian Committee on Cataloging, offers practical advice on how to make the transition. This indispensable Special Report helps catalogers by
Concisely explaining RDA and its expected benefits for users and cataloguers, presented through topics and questionsPlacing RDA in context by examining its connection with its predecessor, AACR2, as well as looking at RDA’s relationship to internationally accepted principles, standards and modelsDetailing how RDA positions us to take advantage of newly emerging database structures, how RDA data enables improved resource discovery, and how we can get metadata out of library silos and make it more accessible
No cataloger or library administrator will want to be without this straightforward guide to the changes ahead.

Excelente introdução ao assunto

Achei bem completa as informações apresentadas sobre a norma RDA, desde sua origem, estrutura, até os passos para sua implementação. A única coisa que senti falta foi mais exemplos práticos durante o capítulo sobre FRBR e FRAD. Muitas vezes, os conceitos de entidades-relações parecem abstratos, por isso, teria sido legal mais exemplos de como esses conceitos são aplicados na prática.
