Subject: [BSLWAC] Helpful RDA Links
If you have anything to do with Library services you know that RDA has the
world all a buzz right now. But it can be difficult to keep up with everything
that’s going on. For that reason, I asked our RDA Librarian to compile a
list of her favorite places to get information on RDA. If you have any that you
think are useful, please let us know!
Here are some links on related to RDA (Resource Description and Access),
FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), and FRAD (Functional
Requirements for Authority Data) that I have found very helpful and
informative.
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/jsc/rda.html-
This is the RDA main page at the JSC website. There are links to the full
draft, background information, and much more. The links under Scope and
Principles are particularly good, especially the mapping. Also the
FAQ’s are really helpful.
http://www.rdaonline.org/
– This site is where a demo of RDA online will be up sometime in the near
future. When I last checked it, they said they plan to have the demo
ready in May. Don’t hold your breath, but keep checking the site.
http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/
– This is the IFLA site for FRBR
http://www.ifla.org.sg/VII/d4/FRANAR-ConceptualModel-2ndReview.pdf
- This is the IFLA site for the draft of FRAD.
http://www.bn.gov.ar/archivos/anexos_proyectos_especiales/encuentro/ponencias/ponencia_Patton_ingles.pdf
– This paper from 2007 gives really good background on FRAD.
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/rdawebcasts.html
– This site has two really good presentations by Barbara Tillett of
LC. You can download the needed player from the website. They are
about an hour each, but well worth listening to. There should be more
webcasts coming up in the future so keep an eye out.
http://courses.unt.edu/smiksa/documents/4_Hello%20RDA,%20Goodbye%20AACR2!_15April2008.pdf
-This is a great presentation. It gives a very good overview in some
detail with very understandable language.
http://nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/documents/Walls2008.ppt
– Libraries Australia have done a lot with FRBR and RDA. This is a
good presentation and at the end there are more good links.
http://www.nelib.org/netsl/conference/2009/RickBlock.pdf
– This very thorough presentation talks about RDA and MARC. A lot
of it is concatenated from other presentations, but it brings everything
together nicely.
http://www.loc.gov/marc/development.html
– This has copies of the Proposals and Discussion Papers for changes to
the MARC21 formats. Just click on MARC Proposals or MARC
Discussion Papers. They are arranged by year, most recent
first. Most of the 2009 proposals and discussion papers deal with RDA
elements. Also take a look at 2008-05/1-4, as these deal with RDA
too. You may also gain insights by looking at older ones. Also see
link below for the decisions made on the ones discussed at ALA midwinter.
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/tas/jca/ccda/marbi0806.html
– Summaries of what was discussed at ALA midwinter 2008 and the actions
taken.
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/tas/jca/ccda/marbi0901.html
– Here are the report of the 2009 ALA midwinter meeting of MARBI.
http://wikis.ala.org/midwinter2009/index.php/ALCTS
– From this site you can access the presentations from the CCS Forum:
FRBR and RDA: a glimpse into the future of cataloging and public
displays. Barbara Tillett’s and John Espley’s on the
VTLS OLE project were particularly pertinent.
http://vtls.com/products/virtua
– This from John Espley’s presentation. It’s an example
of a FRBRized catalog. From this page, click on Virtua Enriched User
Searching Presentation. It takes a couple minutes to download because its
rather long. It automatically pages down and it went rather quickly, but
scrolling up or down would move between the slides, so you can go back and get
what was missed.
http://thenoisychannel.com/2009/03/10/functional-requirements-for-bibliographic-records/
– This is another well written and easy to understand explanation of
FRBR.
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/775
– This is an article titled “Identifying FRBR Work- Level Data in
MARC Bibliographic Records for Manifestations of Moving Images. In
code[4]lib journal Issue t, 2008-12-15.
http://celeripedean.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/code4lib-and-frbr/
– This blog post has lots of really good links in it.
The Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) has moved its
website. There are redirections in place from the old site to pages on the new
site explaining the change. The new address is:
Also the Library of Congress has new documentation available that lists
MARC21 approved changes made since the 2008 Update that accommodate RDA.
Here’s the link:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/formatchanges-RDA.html
There are lots more link out there. These are just the ones I have
found most helpful. If you know of some others, please share them on the blog, forum, or listserv.
Happy reading!
