What is RDA?
Resource Description and Access Content standard
Meant to be display and encoding system neutral Entity-relationship model Published 2010, still being revised
![Page 3: Why Should I Care? RDA and Your Library DR. SONIA ARCHER-CAPUZZO, CATALOGER, LECTURER, LIBRARIAN OCTOBER 23, 2015 NCLA CONFERENCE, GREENSBORO, NC](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af07f8b9ab05997d8ea/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
RDA User Tasks
Find Match search criteria to specific entities (via attributes and/or relationships)
Identify Confirm that the resource found corresponds to the resource sought and distinguish

Elements of RDA
Entities Things: works, people, subjects, etc.
Attributes- collectively describe/name/define a single entity This is what we’re used to
Relationships- between 2 entities This is new Important!

Why RDA?
Move beyond AACR2 Electronic catalogs (no cards) Variety in resources Extensibility Flexibility across encoding standards
![Page 6: Why Should I Care? RDA and Your Library DR. SONIA ARCHER-CAPUZZO, CATALOGER, LECTURER, LIBRARIAN OCTOBER 23, 2015 NCLA CONFERENCE, GREENSBORO, NC](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af07f8b9ab05997d8ea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Does it really change anything?
Display Searching/sorting possibilities Conceptual changes
![Page 7: Why Should I Care? RDA and Your Library DR. SONIA ARCHER-CAPUZZO, CATALOGER, LECTURER, LIBRARIAN OCTOBER 23, 2015 NCLA CONFERENCE, GREENSBORO, NC](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af07f8b9ab05997d8ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Display: Abbreviations
Far fewer Easier-to-understand in many cases “p.” is now “pages” “v.” is now “volume” “c” is now “©” or “copyright” We still have some abbreviations: cm, in., min., op., no., etc.
![Page 8: Why Should I Care? RDA and Your Library DR. SONIA ARCHER-CAPUZZO, CATALOGER, LECTURER, LIBRARIAN OCTOBER 23, 2015 NCLA CONFERENCE, GREENSBORO, NC](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af07f8b9ab05997d8ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Display: Latin Terminology
No more [sic], [S.l.], [et al.], etc. “S.l.” is now “place of publication not identified” “ca.” is no “approximately” “et al.” is now “and # others”
And no more rule of three, so all names can potentially be listed in the statement of responsibility

Relationship Designators
Between people and resources, between corporate bodies and resources, between resources and other resources, between resources and their subjects, etc.
After names Before titles Clarification Search and sort?

Searching/Sorting
Content, carrier, media types More computer-encoded fields & controlled
vocabularies Redundancy

Potential
More possibilities for searching, sorting, indexing, and display
More (too much?) information
