[Heather Pitts]

A great presentation by Lori Robare from the University of Oregon Libraries on "RDA for the Non-Cataloger" has been made freely available on the ALCTS Continuing Education YouTube channel.

Description: Many libraries will be implementing Resource Description & Access (RDA) early in 2013. What will this mean for technical services and other library staff? How are RDA records different from AACR2 records? This webinar provides a general overview of the changes in RDA, particularly those affecting staff in technical services and those noticeable in the OPAC. No knowledge of current cataloging standards or MARC required! This session does not teach how to catalog with RDA, but it can be a useful foundation for catalogers new to RDA as well as other library staff and administrators.

Presenter: Lori Robare is Head of the Monographic Cataloging Team at the University of Oregon Libraries. She recently served as Chair of the ALA/ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access and has previously served as chair of the ALA/ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee. She has presented frequently on RDA to both specialized and general audiences.

Lori, along with Jean Peick from Washington County Cooperative Library Services, will also be presenting a session on "RDA for Copy Catalogers" in April at the 2013 OLA/WLA conference.
