No, you are definitely not alone. I consider myself pretty intelligent,
and I've taken many workshops on FRBR, RDA, etc. Every time I think I
figured it out, I've found something that doesn't fit what I thought I
understood. Sigh.

Thanks all for your replies and reactions. I don't feel half so bad now! I feel
as the supervisor of my team I have to try and do my best, but it's an uphill
struggle. I'm sure as I get further into it I'll be very grateful for this
support group!

Hi Maxine!
Long-time-no-chat. I concur with what you said; as well as
everyone else's comments set forth in this thread! We've certainly
discussed some of this in Cataloging Needs of Public Libraries at ALA.
It it is true that we've been cataloging with AACR2 ... some of us

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is their usual informative and

implementation. Basically, retrospectively they will change headings
to match RDA forms, but will not retrospectively change description.
We have found following LAC's lead

Thanks to the thousands of people who have tried out the RDA Toolkit

It would be ideal to allow open access to the RDA rules via rdatoolkit.org

Testers will be creating records in the second phase of the test period, which
is about to begin, and that is when I
My boss asked me if we should buy this. I hadn't been paying too much
attention to RDA since it seemed to be still in the testing phase and
since I don't do much cataloging any more. So I spent a couple of days
reading things about it, looking at the toolkit, etc.
From what I can tell, you can
I agree completely with the thought below. Additionally, if the creators of RDA
hope to have the standard adopted by educators, system developers, researchers,
the wider metadata community, database developers, IT staff, library and
computer education professors, museums staff, etc., I hope
charging for it before it's even adopted or implemented is less than friendly
or helpful!
But it is lean, mean, and a concrete manifestation of the often-invoked advice
to run it like a business!
