[Evergreen-catalogers] RDA training materials/advice

[Kent, Alexander D]

Hi all,

Here are some RDA materials that may be useful for those who don't have access to the RDA tool kit.  I had some conversations at the Evergreen Conference in Vancouver where people expressed interest, so I'm sending them out to the list serv.   I'm also including links to list servs I've found useful to keep track of RDA discussions.

Conversion of the AACR2 Authority File to RDA / Adam Schiff
(presentation given Apr. 25, 2012 at Oregon Library Association conference) - an extremely helpful summary of key changes from AACR2 to RDA authority records. [Note: In slides 17-22, Schiff discusses earlier proposals for the phases of implementation which differ from what was actually decided upon.]

Getting Ready for RDA without panicking

(From the RDA Toolkit blog) (http://www.rdatoolkit.org/blog/511)

"PCC Guidelines for the 264 Field"

http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/264-Guidelines.doc.

At that time, OCLC informed users they could begin to use field 264 according to these guidelines and with these cautions offered by the PCC: "It should be noted that these guidelines do not address the application of the 264 field for materials cataloged under the standards for Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (DCRM) or other standards for specialized materials. The communities working on the application of RDA for specialized materials will need to develop appropriate guidelines for using the 264 field with those materials." PCC participants creating RDA records were otherwise instructed to begin following those guidelines immediately.
