Practical training for Official RDA
by Joanne Rowan 01 Dec '24

01 Dec '24

Kia ora koutou In August 2024 NLNZ cataloguers began cataloguing using Official RDA. The first part of our practical training in Official RDA is now available through Niche Academy. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz This release has tutorials to help you prepare for practical training, begin to describe information resources using RDA elements with no range or a range of Nomen, and learn the patterns when determining values for Authorized Access Points. It also includes a number of resources to support training, including training MAPs, worksheets and extra readings and activities. Further training will be released over the next twelve to eighteen months. A second release of basic practical training is scheduled for February 2025. This will include aggregate manifestations and encoding Official RDA into MARC 21. Training and beta-testing is underway for serial works and music scores and we expect to release these training resources mid 2025. During 2025 NLNZ cataloguers will train in formats such as sound recordings, integrating resources and cartographic resources with the associated training materials released through 2025 and 2026. To hear more about the NLNZ journey to implementation of Official RDA see presentations by Anoushka McGuire’s https://oclc.wistia.com/medias/awt6os4j02 and Charlotte Christensen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMdMuhqRZeY Charlotte’s presentation starts at 01:00:43. Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have questions about our training materials, or just want to talk about RDA.
