Development of the new code: the current state of play
Why has RDA been developed in preference to revising AACR2? This presentation will focus on the principles underlying the new code and give an overview of its structure. It will also describe the increasing openness and internationalisation of the development process and the present timescale for the online product.

Exclusive video presentation - Introduction to Resource Description and Access:
The principal goal of RDA is to facilitate resource discovery within library catalogs in a more consistent and powerful way then was possible with AACR2. This presentation is intended as an introduction to descriptive and subject cataloging. It addresses many traditional cataloging processes, in addition to some new and emerging practices such as folksonomies and social tagging, and how these new tools may be incorporated into the more traditional practices.

RDA and the future cataloguing community
What will be the impact of RDA on cataloguing and the training of cataloguers. With the major standard in flux, how do we train cataloguers? Perhaps more pertinently, when do we train them? As the cataloguing lecturer on the last traditional LIS course with cataloguing and classification as a core module followed by an advanced cataloguing and classification module, Anne Welsh examines the impact of RDA on the education of the current and the next generation of cataloguers. She will highlight the core issues for recruiting new staff who know the international standards as well as training existing staff ahead of a move to RDA.

Spinning straw into gold: how to manage change without losing your sanity
Based on public library experience, this presentation will identify the issues you need to consider before a migration, what a change to cataloguing standards will mean for your staff and customers, and how to come out on the other side with your expectations fulfilled and sanity intact.
