ARLIS/NA 49th Annual Conference

RDA and the RDA Toolkit have undergone a substantial revision known as the 3R project (RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign). This revision impacts how catalogers will apply RDA and significantly alters how they access content and instructions in the RDA Toolkit. Members of the ARLIS/NA Cataloging Advisory Committee will give a general overview of the changes to RDA and the major conceptual and functional changes made to the Toolkit with a focus on the needs of art catalogers. Panelists will also present on the CAC’s efforts to propose changes to RDA, on the potential creation of an RDA Toolkit application profile for cataloging art material, and the committee’s ongoing revision of the “Cataloging exhibition publications: best practice” document (published by ARLIS/NA in 2010) to comply with RDA standards. There will be time allotted for questions.
