As more libraries around the world adopt RDA: Resource Description and Access, knowledge of this new standard is crucial. RDA has tremendous potential for helping libraries and information-based organizations move into the digital world. It can also be a major anxiety point for catalogers who aren’t sure what they need to learn to get started. Our expert panel for this webcast will discuss how RDA is different from MARC, how librarians can get started with RDA, and will share their own experiences. Panelists for this broadcast are:
• Gordon Dunsire, RDA Steering Committee Chair, Independent Consultant
• Kathy Glennan, RDA Steering Committee Representative and Authorities & Specialty Cataloging Unit Head, University of Maryland Libraries, College Park
• James Hennelly, Managing Editor, RDA Toolkit
