The training materials were developed by past and current members of the Standing Committee on Training (SCT) RDA Training Task Group: Monographs.
This first phase of training consists of 17 modules for PCC catalogers, policymakers, and specialists to be able to identify key changes introduced during the 3R Project, use and navigate the RDA Toolkit, understand new concepts, and define key vocabulary terms. This Phase 1 training prepares learners for Phase 2 training which will focus on RDA in practice.
Designed for in-person or virtual instruction, the training modules can be used for self-study or training cataloging staff locally, regionally, or nationally. The training materials may also be adapted provided credit is given to the PCC SCT RDA Training Task Group: Monographs.
Please submit feedback, including corrections, suggested enhancements, and questions to the task group via the PCC RDA Communications Committee Feedback Form.
