The RDA Workbook by Margaret Mering

The RDA Workbook by Margaret Mering

Unlike the RDA training materials prepared for seasoned catalogers by the Library of Congress and others, the The RDA Workbook: Learning the Basics of Resource Description and Access uses tried-and-true methods to make RDA clear even to those who have little or no previous cataloging knowledge.

It gives the basics on RDA and provides a solid foundationFor those wondering where to start, The RDA Workbook is an excellent first step. * Technical Services Quarterly *
If you are new to the cataloging field or just beginning to implement RDA into your catalog records, this book is for you. . . . A useful, engaging, and well-­written book that is recommended to catalogers and staff in all libraries and cataloging instructors and their students. * Library Journal, Starred Review *
[T]here have been very few works that both make a concerted effort to guide catalogers to a clear understanding of the rules and the underlying theory, and that offer practical steps in creating RDA records. With The RDA Workbook, Mering and her colleagues have taken the first steps toward rectifying this deficiency . . . [They] have provided a useful introduction to RDA. . . . This book is best viewed as an entry point, and Mering is very clear about this; it is meant for a general audience, and only gives a very basic outline of what RDA is and how it is to be used. * Library Resources and Technical Services *
The RDA Workbook is highly recommended for its coverage and approach, which facilitate teaching and learning the features and application of RDA as well as its implementation. * Technicalities *

Margaret Mering, MLS, is the coordinator of cataloging and professor of libraries at the University of Nebraska.
