RDA for Music: Popular Music, Jazz, and World Music Audio Recordings (MLA Workshop)
A 90-minute workshop, Thursday, April 17, 2014, 2:30pm Eastern/1:30 Central/12:30 Mountain/11:30am Pacific

RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new global cataloging standard, the successor to AACR2, implemented by the Library of Congress and other U.S. national libraries in March 2013, with many libraries across the country following suit. In this workshop, Tracey Snyder and Kevin Kishimoto will teach the basics of cataloging popular music, jazz, and world music audio recordings using RDA. This workshop will be invaluable for anyone who catalogs these materials and would like to learn how to do so using RDA.

Topics include:

• RDA instructions pertaining to audio recordings and their location in RDA Toolkit
• Differences between audio recordings instructions in RDA and AACR2
• Aspects of RDA and FRBR that affect access to audio recordings of popular music, jazz, and world music
• Supplemental guidelines for cataloging music in RDA, including the Music Library Association's Best Practices
• MARC fields and subfields that accommodate RDA data for audio recordings

For individual or group viewing at your own location, the cost ranges from $90.00 to $180.00.  If you join us here in Burr Ridge, you may view for free.
