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!
