Hi all,

Here’s an article from Planet Cataloguing (http://planetcataloging.org) reporting on some new RDA training videos produced by the Library of Congress, in a series called ‘Conversations about RDA’:

As mentioned in the article:

“Topics include:

Compare and contrast: AACR2 and RDA in the bibliographic record
Undifferentiated personal name headings
Cataloguer judgement and statement of responsibility
Capitalization, abbreviations & numbers
Exercising judgment in the statement of responsibility”

The Library of Congress website has other interesting webcasts available on a variety of topics for Librarians and Archivists:
