This book helps you tackle the challenges of implementing the new cataloging code (RDA/Resource Description and Access) in the MARC environment, providing emphasis on practical, straightforward RDA advice for today's busy cataloger. After a general discussion on planning and training for RDA, the author-a technical services/systems librarian with more than two decades' experience-presents a comprehensive review of RDA's conceptual basis in FRBR and FRAD before providing easy-to-follow, practical guidance on cataloging today's diverse library resources using the new code, covering print, audiovisual, and digital materials.

Catalogers at busy libraries committed to getting their new materials out to their users as quickly as possible will also find this work extremely helpful.
