Posted here are links to archived training modules relating to RDA. These modules, along with additional materials, were prepared for training sessions conducted by Library of Congress staff.

The Library of Congress had refresher sessions for those LC participants in the 2010 U.S. RDA Test who will be returning to cataloging with RDA in November 2011 (with some recently updated files). These training materials are an overview of RDA with reminders for LC cataloging staff who already had RDA training in 2010; also covered are LC’s changes in core elements and in policy decisions informed by the US RDA Test.
