Library of Congress Documentation for the RDA (Resource Description and Access) Test: Training Materials for LC Core RDA Elements (June 2010)
6/10/10
These training materials were prepared for the Library of Congress participants in the U.S. RDA Test. They cover the core elements identified in RDA, additional elements that will be core for LC’s records, LC policy decisions, significant changes from AACR2, and changes in the MARC 21 authority and bibliographic formats.
The training was first presented at the Library of Congress in early June 2010. Some errors have been corrected in the files posted here.
The Word files for the separate training documents will be replaced with updated versions if LC’s policy decisions for the Test are modified.
