Introduction to RDA
Instructor: Melissa Adler
Dates: November 3-28, 2014
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175
http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/012-intro-RDA.php
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new library cataloging for resource description and discovery, replacing AACR2. Upon completion of this four-week course you will be familiar with Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), the conceptual model on which RDA is based. You will be able to recognize and create bibliographic records using RDA and will be directed to the most recent and helpful resources that are available to help guide you through the transition to RDA. The course will cover the basic concepts required to confidently navigate and apply the guidelines in the RDA Toolkit.
Topics covered in this course include:
Issues surrounding the change to RDA
Identifying FRBR entities – Works, Expressions, Manifestations, Items
Using the RDA Toolkit
MARC fields for RDA
Relationships in RDA
RDA vocabularies
Basic introduction to principles of linked data
Each week will include an introduction to the week's content, a few readings, and an exercise or quiz that provides hands-on practice. Participation in discussion forums will also be required. Expect to spend about 3.5 hours on coursework each week. Basic knowledge of MARC21 is not required, but is recommended as a prerequisite for taking this course.
Melissa Adler is Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky School of Library and Information Science, where she teaches courses in Information Organization and other areas of librarianship. She holds a PhD in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin Madison and has seven years of academic library experience, primarily in the realm of cataloging.
Course structure
This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment.
