What is RDA?
RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new cataloging standard that will replace Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition.
What is RDA?
RDA goes beyond earlier cataloging codes in that it provides guidelines on cataloging digital resources and has a strong emphasis on IFLA’s FRBR and FRAD user tasks helping users to find, identify, contextualize, justify, select, and obtain the information they want.
What is RDA?
RDA supports clustering of bibliographic records to show relationships between works and their creators. This important new feature makes users more aware of a work's different editions, translations, or physical formats.
