Another aspect I have not seen mentioned, is that AACR2 style GMDs
only had to be assigned to nonbook materials. RDA 33X must be
assigned to all library resources, a major increase in effort. Not
only it is three terms for one, but they must be assigned to many more
records.
For users of OCLC Connexion, there is a macro that makes adding these
terms, along with their coded values, take about 3 seconds. This is not
huge increase of effort. The macro pulls up a pulldown menu and you just
select the terms you need and click add.
