The document provides instructions on changes between AACR2 and RDA standards for cataloging. Some key changes include: 1. RDA uses less cataloging jargon and focuses on user needs rather than catalog card displays. 2. Elements like headings, uniform titles, and physical descriptions have been renamed or expanded to better reflect the resources being described. 3. Controlled vocabularies are more open and machine-readable in RDA to allow for more flexibility and automation. 4. Punctuation, abbreviations, and transcription rules are standardized differently between the two standards. Options that were choices in AACR2 are now part of the main instructions in RDA.

AACR2 RDA Notes heading authorized access point “heading” reflects outmoded ‘catalog-card-speak’ author, composer, artist, etc. creator main entry preferred title and, if appropriate, the authorized access point for the creator “main entry” reflects outmoded ‘catalog-card-speak’, related to cards in a file cabinet uniform title Two RDA counterparts: 1. the preferred title and any differentiating information; 2. a conventional collective title such as “Works” see reference variant access point see also reference authorized access point for related entity physical description carrier description GMD three elements: 1. content type 2. media type 3. carrier type GMD was an inconsistent presentation of different categories of information chief source preferred sources This is not only a change in terminology; ‘sources’ have been expanded from a single source to multiple sources
 It provides instructions on recording the content of records  It does not provide instruction on how a given library system should display the bibliographic information  Nor does it provide instruction on encoding the information.  RDA is schema-neutral.
 RDA is less Anglo-centric than AACR2  It focuses on user needs  In addition, the library policy can make discretion regarding the: language of additions to access points language of supplied data script and transliteration calendar numeric system
 RDA also covers the wider scope of resources being acquired in libraries today.  It provides for more elements for: non-printed text resources non-text resources unpublished resources
 Has many controlled vocabularies  Only a few of the vocabularies are closed (e.g., content type; media type; carrier type)  Most of the vocabularies are open; you can either supply your own term as needed, or suggest a term be added to the vocabulary (or do both).
 Libraries may decide to include some of these controlled vocabulary terms in templates  ILS vendors could provide them in drop-down lists.  The RDA vocabularies are now registered on the Web. The existence of those machine- readable controlled vocabularies will allow more machine manipulation
 Demonstration of RDA toolkit  Refer to work book  Live demonstrations

 The instructions that were in AACR2 formed the basis of the text for RDA, so you will find that MANY of them haven’t changed much.  They may have been reworded to make them easier to understand, but they’re still there
•Still includes options and alternatives, like AACR2 does, and many of these are the same, though there’s more now. • Some AACR2 options have become part of the main instructions of RDA.
1. Title and statement of responsibility 2. Edition 3. Material or type of publication specification 4. Publication 5. Physical description 6. Series 7. Notes 8. Standard number
•Still uses MARC records that we are used to •There are some changes to MARC

EXTENT – TEXT Essentially the same as in AACR2 Main differences  Description in terms of pages or leaves depending on whether the resource is paginated or foliated  No abbreviations(use pages, volumes)  No bracketing for unnumbered pages (use unnumbered pages)  No ca. (use approximately)  No i.e. (use that is)
