3 CALL/ACBD 20083 “Still I can not help thinking that the golden age of cataloging is over...”

4 CALL/ACBD 20084 “Still I can not help thinking that the golden age of cataloging is over...” Charles A. Cutter Preface, 4 th ed. Rules for a Dictionary Catalog (1904) ‏

32 CALL/ACBD 200832 AACR Has Evolved Too

33 CALL/ACBD 200833 AACR Revolves

34 CALL/ACBD 200834 RDA to Save the Day?

35 CALL/ACBD 200835 RDA and the 'Digital World' RDA intends to be a new standard for description and access designed for use in the 'digital world'

36 CALL/ACBD 200836 RDA Describes the 'Digital World' The guidelines and instructions will describe all types of resources, including analog, digital and online

37 CALL/ACBD 200837 RDA is a Content Standard Emphasis on content means the guidelines can be easily used or extended to cover the description of new emerging resources

38 CALL/ACBD 200838 RDA in the Digital World The descriptions will be used in the digital environment enabling use in a variety of resource discovery services including web-based catalogues

39 CALL/ACBD 200839 RDA in the Digital World The standard itself will be a web-based tool

40 CALL/ACBD 200840 RDA Provides Logical Guidelines The aim is to present a structured sequence that will help lead the cataloguer through a logical decision process

41 CALL/ACBD 200841 RDA Simplifies the Process Any special instructions for specific types of resources will be minimized and will appear as part of the general instructions as necessary (e.g. law, music, etc.)

42 CALL/ACBD 200842 RDA Based on Shared Principles With a clear conceptual framework based on FRBR and FRAD the cataloguer will be equipped to make better and more consistent decisions based on shared principles

43 CALL/ACBD 200843 RDA Simplifies the Process Simpler instructions with clear and concise language will make the rules both easier to learn and to apply

44 CALL/ACBD 200844 RDA Reduces Costs This should help reduce the cost of creating resource descriptions while enabling more descriptions to be created

45 CALL/ACBD 200845 RDA Identifies Relationships Relationships between information resources will be identified and clarified allowing for easier selection of relevant materials

46 CALL/ACBD 200846 RDA Reaches Out to Others Consultations with other communities (e.g. archives, museums, publishers, educators, book dealers, ILS vendors, etc.) will align the efforts of RDA and the metadata standards used in those communities

47 CALL/ACBD 200847 RDA Reaches Out to Others With a focus on content rather than display the possibility for RDA to be used outside the library community in a broader range of metadata communities is more likely e.g. MARC, Dublin Core, ONIX, IEEE-LOM

48 CALL/ACBD 200848 RDA Incorporates Existing Metadata Sharing metadata (tables of contents, reviews, classification, etc.) between communities can enhance the metadata provided to the information users

49 CALL/ACBD 200849 RDA Improves Access If metadata communities shared the same content standard, this could potentially improve search results across different information repositories and databases

50 CALL/ACBD 200850 RDA Summary (1)‏ Digital World Designed for Use in the Digital World Aims to Describe Both Analogue & Digital Is a Content Standard not a Display Standard

51 CALL/ACBD 200851 RDA Summary (2)‏ Simplifying the Process Provide Logical Guidelines & Instructions Based on Shared Principles Simplifies the Process of Creating Metadata Reduces Costs of Creating Metadata

52 CALL/ACBD 200852 RDA Summary (3)‏ Identify Relationships Identifies Relationships Between Resources Uses Existing Metadata Where Possible Improves Access to Information Resources Reaches Out to Other Metadata Communities
