John Espley espl...@vtls.com 9/17/2010 10:42 AM I would like to announce a new service being offered by VTLS Inc. The RDA Sandbox*/ /*is a special program designed to provide tools by which Libraries and librarians can practice creating MARC records following the Resource Description and Access (RDA) Implementation One Scenario. That is, creating Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item (WEMI) records as defined in the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). As a participant in the program you will have access to a Virtua^® database with over 250,000 MARC FRBRized linked records (Work, Expression, and Manifestations). You will also be provided with a specially customized Virtua^® cataloging client which will allow you to create, modify, and delete your own RDA records. Special documentation and email support will be available to help you get started. Learn RDA by playing in our Sandbox!
