Tim Knight's Article on RDA

From a message sent by our Tim Knight to AUTOCAT on Jan. 7:


Hello all,

My introductory article about the new cataloguing rules, Resource Description and Access: From AACR to RDA, was recently published in the Canadian Law Library Review. It's available on YSpace if you're interested in reading it

http://pi.library.yorku.ca/dspace/handle/10315/6717.

Abstract: The new cataloguing guidelines Resource Description and Access
(RDA) have recently been released and are set to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. An evaluation period led by the Library of Congress is currently underway and it is likely that the implementation of RDA will begin sometime in mid-2011. This paper looks briefly at the origins of RDA, provides a high level overview of RDA and reviews some of the major differences that cataloguers and library users can expect to find between RDA and AACR2.

Best regards,

Tim
