RDA: Resource Description and Access

In June 2010 Anglo American Cataloguing Rules (AACR),the cataloguing standard in use for the last thirty years, will be replaced by Resource Description and Access (RDA). As the biggest change in bibliographic standards since the adoption of MARC21 ten years ago, the new rules have inspired much discussion in the cataloguing community and beyond. This briefing, organised by CILIP, aimed to provide an overview of the new standard as well as addressing the impact on librarians and libraries.
