Serials and RDA: An Ongoing Relationship

Judith A. Kuhagen, Margaret Mering

Abstract

This full-day preconference offered a comprehensive study of Resource Description and Access (RDA) and the cataloging of serials and related issues. It discussed RDA guidelines that covered identifying entities and making relationships in the context of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), and the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles. In addition to reviewing changes between Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2) and RDA, Kuhagen introduced new RDA elements and machine-readable cataloging (MARC) coding. Finally, the speaker gave a preview of possible changes in RDA affecting serials.
