Essentials of RDA for Non-Catalogers - Free Webinar on July 9, 2014

Topic:  Essentials of RDA for Non-Catalogers
Date: 07/09/2014
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Register at http://bit.ly/1nNLl6L
Speakers:  Guy Frost, Univ. Assoc. Prof. and Catalog Librarian, Valdosta State University and  Susan Wynne, Cataloging and Metadata Librarian, Georgia State University,

RDA (Resource Description and Access) has become a reality for many libraries, especially following the Library of Congress' implementation in 2013. But how does it affect non-catalogers and library users? RDA is part of the ongoing transformation of library data, with an objective of responsiveness to user needs.
This session will cover the major differences between AACR2 practices and RDA, focusing on how RDA affects display and navigation in local catalogs, WorldCat, and elsewhere.

This event is sponsored by North Georgia Associated Libraries.
