[Yulcat-l] ALCTS webinar: Introduction to RDA

[Barr, Tatiana]

Steven, is this something we could do as a group, as an alternative?  Some might want to do it at their desk, but perhaps as a group we could also have some discussion afterwards for those who attend? Especially since this is advertised as a good introduction for copy catalogers as well. Also, can we use Learning Plan money for this if we do it individually? I suppose some other configuration of staff groups might be possible ... but there might be a space problem if so. If we do it as a group, what locations are available besides 409...sorry for all the questions but this seems to require some planning if we are to take advantage of it to greatest effect, especially as there are a series of them coming up.  Just some thoughts.

ALCTS webinar: Introduction to RDA

Description: This introductory webinar on the proposed cataloging rules, Resource Description and Access (RDA), will highlight the critical differences between the current cataloging rules, AACR2, and RDA. It is designed as a primer for both front line catalogers and library administrators in all types of libraries who need to learn how bibliographic and authority records will change when RDA is implemented. The session would be an excellent introduction to record changes for both original catalogers and copy catalogers.
Note: This webinar will not cover the elements of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Data (FRBR) on which RDA is based nor will the RDA Toolkit interface be demonstrated.
Presenter: Robert Ellett is the Catalog Librarian at the Joint Forces Staff College, Norfolk, Virginia.  He is also an instructor for the online LIS program at San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science and a trainer for the Program for Cooperative Cataloging.   Robert serves on the ALCTS Cataloging & Classification Section Executive Committee and is a member of the Resource Description & Access (RDA) Planning and Programming Task Force.  He received his library degree from UNC Chapel Hill and his PhD from the Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences at Nova Southeastern University.

Date: September 22, 2010

Note special time for this session only:  5pm Eastern, 4pm Central, 3pm Mountain, and 2pm Pacific Time.

This is the first in a planned series of workshops on RDA. Additional information and dates to be announced soon.
