Ann Chapman of UKOLN recently gave a guest lecture on Resource Description and Access (RDA) to students taking the cataloguing module of the Library and Information Science course at London Metropolitan University. Entitled “The Tools of Our Trade: AACR2/RDA and MARC”, the lecture covered the history behind RDA, the international collaborative process by which it is being developed, an overview of the text and a look at the RDA approach to cataloguing. This was followed by an overview of the history and development process for the MARC format. Slides from this presentation are now available.
