91´«Ã½
CHICAGO — 91´«Ã½ Editions in partnership with the Music Library Association announces an exciting new workshop, with Tracey Snyder and Kevin Kishimoto. This workshop will last 90 minutes and take place at 2:30 p.m. Eastern/1:30 p.m. Central on Thursday, April 17, 2014.
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.
