Dear colleagues

 

CatSIG is offering the following RDA webinars with Deborah Fritz from TMQ for cataloguers.

 

"Rudimentary RDA" will be offered as a webinar using GoToMeeting in two three-hour sessions. The content covers:

·         How RDA is intended to help the users of our OPACs

·         What are FRBR, WEMI, FISO, and FRAD

·         What is really different about RDA

·         What is the RDA Toolkit

·         What is RIMMF

·         How the Toolkit and RDA-based cataloging software (such as RIMMF) will make it simpler for us to describe and provide access to resources

·         What we should do with RDAMARC records that we copy, to make those records work properly in our OPACs

See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information.

 

The first webinar will be held on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th March, 8.00am-11.00am (New Zealand time). If sufficient registrations are received a second webinar will be offered on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th April, 8.00am-11.00am (New Zealand time).

 

The cost of the webinar will be $50.00 per individual.
