workshops being offered to help minimize costs

Influences Anglo-American cataloging tradition Paris Principles ISBD FRBR/FRAD Internet Toronto Conference 1997 IME ICC ICP Web environment collaborations

FRBR IFLA’s Functional
Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)
User tasks Find Identify Select Obtain
Entities, Relationships, Attributes
Mandatory elements for a national level bibliographic record
June 2009 Extends the FRBR
model to authority data (Still to come is FRSAD
on subject authority data)

Internet Wide range of information carriers
• complexity of content
Catalogs are no longer end points in isolation• Global access to data
Integrate bibliographic data with wider Internet environment• Share data beyond institutions• Metadata (bibliographic information)
Created by a wider range of personnel Within and outside libraries Element-based metadata schemas
Dublin Core, ONIX, etc.
14
What’s wrong with AACR? Increasingly complex
Lack of logical structure
Mixing content and carrier data (GMDs)
Not enough support for collocation - inherent relationships missing
Anglo-American centric viewpoint
Written before FRBR
Before Internet and well-formed metadata Based on slide from Ann Chapman, UKOLN

GOALS: RDA will be …
A new standard for resource description and access
Designed for the digital world• Optimized for use as an online product• Description and access of all resources
• All types of content and media
• Resulting records usable in the digital environment (Internet, Web OPACs, etc.)
22
RDA – The Goals Rules should be easy to use and interpret Be applicable to an online, networked
environment Provide effective bibliographic control for all types
of media Encourage use beyond the library community Be compatible with other similar standards Have a logical structure based on internationally
agreed principles Separate content and carrier data Examples – more of them, more appropriate
slide Ann Chapman, UKOLN

RDA Structure General introduction Identifying Elements (Entities and their
attributes) Relationships
Appendices Capitalization, Abbreviations, Initial articles, etc. Presentation (ISBD, MARC, etc.) Relationship designators Etc.
Glossary and Index
25
General Principles (ICP)• Convenience of user
• Representation
• Common usage
• Accuracy
• Sufficiency and necessity
• Significance
• Economy
• Consistency and Standardization
• Integration
• Defensible, not arbitrary
• If contradict, take a defensible, practical solution.

Transcription – Principle of Representation in RDA
“Take what you see” as option in RDACorrection of inaccuracies elsewhereNo more abbreviating
Accept what you getFacilitating automated data capture
2727
Sample Changes from AACR2
Transcribed data (macros and templates)Option to keep rule of 3
e.g., “[and five others]” – no more “… et. al.”
First place of publication is “core”“Place of publication not identified” – not “s.l.”“Publisher not identified” – not “s.n.”“Date of publication not identified”

U.S. RDA Test Timeline
June 2010 ALA released RDA Toolkit June-Aug.31 ALA allowed free
access to RDA Toolkit to everyone who registered
June-Sept. 30 U.S. testers were training and had time to practice
Oct. 1-Dec. 31 U.S. test of RDA Jan.-Mar. 2011 analysis of test
results and decisions by U.S. national libraries (expected by June 2011)
39
40
Preparing to use RDA MARC 21 format adjustments in local ILS Local decisions on RDA alternatives/ options Local decision on which elements to include
beyond the RDA Core elements Templates and macros set up for standard
data Practice time and discussions after basic
training
40
41
Results of the Test Surveys for cataloger’s experience and
costs Feedback on user reaction to records built
on RDA instructionsTo help inform future adjustments to RDATo help improve the IFLA models and principles

Summary User-oriented models (FRBR/FRAD)
Collocate works/expressions Identify resources through specific
elements (attributes) and relationships Internationalization
Cost reduction through increased sharing of data
Across information communities
4343
Summary Principle-based rules (ICP)
Cataloger’s judgment (User-focused)Take what you see for transcribed data
(Representation) Add controlled vocabularies for
precision of searching Facilitate harvesting and sharing of
descriptive metadataLess rigid, more flexible
