Facing Forward: The Challenges Facing Cataloging and Catalogers

Abstract

This presentation discusses issues surrounding the implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA)in libraries. It also covers the work done by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative/RDA Task Group with provisional forms of RDA Elements, Roles and Vocabularies, how these relate to existing AACR2-MARC21 based applications, and how the library community might use metadata in a more forward-looking way.
