RDA has been in use at the U.S. Library of Congress since early 2013 and is being widely adopted in the international library community. Today's catalogers need to understand RDA's basic concepts and principles as well as how to apply its rules in order to provide relevant information services in the 21st-century. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610694856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610694858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.09h x 6.74w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2015","brand":"Amy Hart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991702044927,"sku":"9781610694858","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d054a2f1-9114-4fa5-b136-a5042950fdae.jpg?v=1683311736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rda-made-simple-amy-hart-9781610694858","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
