Resource Description and Access (RDA)
RDA expands patrons’ ability to find, identify, select, and obtain resources. MARC records in RDA format contain more information about the content type.
| examples: Content type – performed music, still image Media type – audio, video Carrier type – videodisc, flipchart |
To change your Preferred Descriptive Cataloging Form to RDA, see Preferred Descriptive Cataloging Form.
In Library Manager, you can convert MARC records that follow AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloging Rules) to follow RDA cataloging rules.
| important:You must convert MARC records one at a time.When you change the preferred descriptive cataloging, the changes only apply to records moving forward; existing records are not converted. |
