The last update to AACR2 was in 2005.

The workshop will focus on: • Critical differences between AACR2 and RDA • Descriptive cataloging and the outline of general rules for description of an item • Description of bibliographic relationships which will allow bibliographic records to express the relationships described in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) • Access points and authority control, which will also take into consideration Functional Requirements for Authority Records • Preparing libraries and library staff for the change to RDA – what needs to be done now?
