ALCTS webinar: Recording RDA Elements in MARC 21 Fields in Name Authority Records
RDA: Resource, Description & Access contains instructions for recording FRAD attributes (called elements in RDA) for persons, families, and corporate bodies in name authority records. The MARC 21 Format for Authority Data was enhanced with new or redefined fields to accommodate these instructions and most have been in use since October of 2010. This webinar will focus on the use of these new fields in RDA authority records and will present best practices for providing that information in MARC-based name authority records.
This webinar is part of the Fall 2012 RDA webinar series, which also includes:
- RDA Name Authorities–What’s new and different from AACR2
- RDA for the Non-Cataloger: What’s In It For You?
- RDA in 10 Easy Steps…
