We will explain:
·
How RDA is
intended to help the users of our OPACs.
·
What are FRBR,
WEMI, FISO, and FRAD
·
What is really
different about RDA
·
What is the RDA
Toolkit
·
What is RIMMF
·
How the Toolkit
and RDA-based cataloging software (such as RIMMF) will make it simpler for us
to describe and provide access to resources
·
What we should do with RDAMARC records that we copy,
to make those records work properly in our OPACs
Anticipated goal:
·
At the conclusion of Part 2 of this course, you should
understand how different RDA thinking is from AACRMARC thinking, and how much
more 'fun' RDA thinking might be to apply, than simply reading the new
instructions would make us think.

screens in this webinar may not be suitable for viewing using an iPad or small laptop; we recommend that you use as large a

RDA/MARC FOR COPYCATS: Searching, Matching & Essential Editing (in
development)
Copy cataloging is becoming just a bit more
complicated, as the various creators of MARC records gradually switch from
following AACR rules to following RDA instructions for the records they make.
RDA/MARC records look different, and they may also function slightly
differently in your OPACs . Obviously, it is going to take longer than one day
to teach you how to actually create RDA/MARC records, but this workshop will
explain about the changes that RDA brings to our copy cataloging procedures.
This workshop may be provided as: a one-day,
face-to-face, training session at a host site, with an option for broadcasting
via GoToMeeting; or a one-day online training
session; or an OCLC webinar split over two, three-hour sessions.

Strongly
recommended prerequisites:
·
Or a very good working
knowledge of MARC21 and copy cataloging AACR/MARC records
We
will explain:
·
How to identify potential
problems when searching for RDA/MARC records to copy
·
How to match RDA/MARC
records to the resources you are cataloging
·
How to do only the most
essential editing of the RDA/MARC records that you copy
We
will also provide practice in these steps.
Anticipated
goal:
At the conclusion of this
course, you should know enough about RDA/MARC to: find matching data in new
MARC elements; refrain from editing things that simply look strange; and edit
new data that you are not used to seeing.

screens in this webinar may not be suitable for viewing using an iPad or small laptop; we recommend that you use as large a
