What is RDA?
• Resource Description and Access
• Successor to AACR2
• Not just for “Anglo-Americans”
• Not just for libraries

What changes?
Not much at first
• More direct transcription, fewer abbreviations – e.g. 5 pages, colour illustrations
Which means – easier to match records and resources
– descriptive data can be captured in various ways
![Page 7: RDA Coming soon to a catalogue near YOU Chris Todd National Library of New Zealand 2010, revised 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebe5503460f94bc8a56/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
New data elements
• Content type, carrier type, media type
e.g. Media type = audio
Carrier type = audio disc
Content type = performed music
or
Content type = text
Which means – clearer indication of formats for users
![Page 8: RDA Coming soon to a catalogue near YOU Chris Todd National Library of New Zealand 2010, revised 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebe5503460f94bc8a56/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
More new data elements
• Relationship designators - author, editor, issuing
body, director, etc.Examples:
– Jackson, Peter, 1961-, film director
– Is based on (work) Tolkein, J.R.R. (John Ronald Reuel), (1892-1973). Return of the king.
Which means– It’s easier to see the way people, organisations, and works are
connected

So what’s all the fuss about?
Explicit, clearly-defined data elements
Which means
– Data is not tied to MARC
– More flexibility in access and display
![Page 11: RDA Coming soon to a catalogue near YOU Chris Todd National Library of New Zealand 2010, revised 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebe5503460f94bc8a56/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
E.g. Language
• Not required by AACR2 (because data
recorded for people to read)
• Needed for search, search limits and display
• Recorded in MARC (computers can’t read)
• Is a required data element in RDA
![Page 12: RDA Coming soon to a catalogue near YOU Chris Todd National Library of New Zealand 2010, revised 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebe5503460f94bc8a56/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How does this affect me?
• Will I recognise RDA records and do I need to?
• How will my library system handle RDA records?
• When is this all going to happen?
