Resumen de RDA and serials: : transitioning to RDA within a MARC 21 framework

Les Hawkins, Hien Nguyen, Linda Smith Griffin

• This comprehensive preconference focused on transitioning serials catalogers experienced in Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition (AACR2) to the new cataloging code, Resource Description and Access (RDA), using the most current Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) and Cooperative Online Serials (CONSER) RDA decisions and practices. The sessions were taught in six modules: Introduction to CONSER RDA cataloging; Getting started; Identifying manifestations; Identifying works and expressions; Related works, expressions, manifestations; and Working with copy and When to create a new record. Participants received hands-on exercises from actual machine-readable cataloging (MARC 21) records that reinforced each module�s objective.
