About the Event

OCLC is pleased to offer a webinar series “Changes from AACR2 to RDA.”   

RDA: Resource Description & Access was published in June 2010 and an implementation decision is expected soon from the U.S. national libraries. This webinar uses side-by-side examples in MARC format to show the most significant changes between AACR2 and RDA cataloging practices.  The webinar is presented in two parts: Part 1 covers description, and part 2 covers access points. 

The schedule for these workshops is:
Changes from AACR2 to RDA. Part 1: Description.  May 11, 2011, 10:00 AM-11:30 AM PDT
