*ALCTS webinar: RDA for Copy Catalogers: The Basics*

Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2015
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

*Description*: Copy cataloging often involves matching an existing
bibliographic record to an item. Determining whether or not a bibliographic
record is a match can depend upon knowing what guidelines were used in the
construction of the description. This webinar seeks to provide an
understanding of the variations in bibliographic description that occur
within a shared cataloging environment when a variety of rules guide the
process of record creation. The primary focus is on the application of
specific RDA guidelines in the creation of bibliographic description
through the use of excerpts from RDA, sample title pages, and sample
bibliographic records. Special attention is paid to the basic principles
and organization of RDA, and its relationship to FRBR. Examples highlight
the variation in descriptions that can result from the application of RDA
guidelines and options, as well as how these descriptions vary from those
based on the application of AACR2.

*Learning outcomes:  *To provide a basic understanding of the application
of RDA in the creation of bibliographic description for print materials
