Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new cataloging standard
designed to replace AACR2 and implemented by the Library of Congress on
March 31, 2013. California librarians are now challenged to implement and
integrate RDA into their local catalogs. This workshop will offer a basic
introduction to cataloging with RDA, will focus on print monographs, and
will cover both description and access. Attendees will participate in
hands-on exercises which will include use of tools and documentation in
support of cataloging with RDA. Through guided participatory exercises they
will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for the effective
implementation and integration of RDA into the fabric of their libraries.
