Core webinar: Describing a Person Using Official RDA

Date: Thursday, March 30, 2023

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: This fourth and final session of the New and Official RDA
Toolkit webinar series goes over how to properly describe a person with

The four-part webinar series "The New and Official RDA Toolkit: A Practical
Approach" covers the basics of the official Resource Description and Access
(RDA) Toolkit that one should know before using the standard and presents
how to use the RDA Toolkit with other cataloging documentation, including
policy statements and Metadata Guidance Documents (MGDs). Specific examples
and detailed steps will be demonstrated in the presentations to help users
understand not only the content structure of RDA in a comprehensive way but
also ways to use the Toolkit with the assistance of cataloging
documentation.

   -

   Learn to create a description of a person based on the Official RDA
   -

   Learn to record relationship of the person to a description of a
   work/expression by using Official RDA
