ALA presentations on AACR3/RDA
Here are three presentations (all PDFs) from a session called AACR3: The Next Big Thing in Cataloging, which happened on 26 June 2005 at the American Library Association conference in Chicago. All three are about how the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules are being revised and renamed to Resource Description and Access, which is influenced by FRBR.
- RDA: Resource Description and Access: Background and Context, by Barbara Tillett
- Looking Under the Hood and Kicking the Tires, by John Attig
- Changing Direction: From AACR to RDA, by Jennifer Bowen
Bowen’s has the least about FRBR (it’s mostly about how they’ve been doing their work), but it includes the written text of her speech, so you can really make sense of it. This is a great thing to have and I encourage more people to do it!
