RDA: What Does it Mean to School
Library Resource Description and Access ?
DR. BARBARA SCHULTZ-JONES
DEPARTMENT OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCES
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS
DENTON, TX
ESC Region XI
Virtual Technology Conference
NOVEMBER 11, 2009
Objectives
2
 Understand the role of FRBR and FRAD in Resource
Description and Access (RDA)
 Understand the impact of RDA on cataloging tasks
 Understand the impact of RDA on user operations
 Consider a strategy for implementing RDA in the
school library media center
What do I need to learn about RDA?
3
• The main questions being asked are:
How do we use it?
 How do we implement it in our library?
 Are vendors creating new systems that use it?
• Perhaps the most challenging aspect will be
learning the complexity of the FRBR entityrelationship models in which information
resources are classified as:

• Works, Expressions, Manifestations, and Items (often
referred to as WEMI).
Where we are and how we got here
4
 Resource Description and Access (RDA) replaces Anglo-American Cataloguing
Rules, 2nd ed. (AACR2) in January 2010, as an online database product to
incorporate the features and functionalities of online access. (JSC, www.rda-jsc.org/)

Work began in 2004, initially conceived as AACR3 but need for greater flexibility drove the
movement to a new approach
 Based in part on conceptual models in Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for
Authority Data (FRAD)
 Motivated by :



Changes in technology
• Impact on descriptive/access data
• Book catalogs
• Card catalogs
• OPACs
• Next generation
Move from the isolated individual library to incorporation of the international
audience
Move from classes of materials to elements and values (more controlled vocabularies)

Intention of RDA
6
 Broaden the statement of principles (Paris Principles)



All types of resources (not just books)
Bibliographic relationships, descriptive cataloging, not Subject
Cataloging at this time
Access (not just choice and form of entry, but all access for
bibliographic and authority records)
 Builds on


Great cataloguing traditions of the world
FRBR and FRAD and future FR-Subjects
AACR2 vs. RDA: Difference in Proportions
7
AACR2
 Description of information entities—13 chapters (Part 1)
 Weak on access points; talks of main and added (MAP,
AAP), have to look all over Part II for access point
provisions (e.g., title access points are discussed in chapter
21 only and then only as a default provision, not much
direction)
 Is not really based on the idea of a “work”, rather it is very
much based on the unit record system.
AACR2 vs. RDA, continued
8
RDA
 Description is covered in 4 chapters, everything else is
about access points
 Form is no longer the first decision; chapters are not based
on form (e.g., no longer have chapters 2-12 as in AACR2)
 Does not focus on the unit record system—it can be, but it
doesn’t need to do so—rather it operates on the idea of a
“work”
 Does not put the cataloger in the decision of having to
decide Main and Added Access points; we don’t need those
distinctions any longer although it does use the idea of a
“preferred access point”

How RDA Differs from
AACR2
How RDA is similar to
AACR2
 Not organized by form
 Most rules will not

 Based on the

 Discusses description

How much must I re-learn?
11
 RDA now outlines the first step in creating a catalog record
as deciding on the type of description to be represented,
and not deciding on format, although format is still integral
 Types of description (rules 1.2)
 Comprehensive, analytical, or multi-level description
 More emphasis on showing bibliographic relationships
(e.g., taxonomy of bibliographic relationships) in order to
better allow clustering of records
 Read--works by B. Tillett, R. Smiraglia; M. Yee, S.
Vellucci, E. O’Neill, D. Vizine-Goetz, just to name a few…
Preparation
12
 Cataloging community must
 study the conceptual model offered by FRBR and FRAD
 Read and study drafts of RDA as released
 Provide feedback to JSC and vendors
 Vendors must consider a re-design of their
automation systems in order to incorporate new
functionality of bibliographic and authority data
 Vendors producing bibliographic records must
consider how and when to add the new RDA fields to
MARC records
What’s a conceptual model?
13
• Abstract depiction of the universe of
things being described



The things in that universe (entities)
Identifying characteristics of those
entities (attributes/elements)
The relationships among the entities
Why do we need FRBR?
14
 Improve the user experience in locating
information
 Guide systems designs for the future
 Guide rule makers
 Cut costs for the description and access to
resources in our libraries
 Position information providers to better operate
in the Internet environment and beyond
Applications of the Conceptual Model
