FYI. The goal of the presentation is "to equip copy catalogers with the knowledge to find the best matching record for library resources in an environment in which we are transitioning to RDA."

Subject: YouTube video, "Resource Description & Access (RDA) Basics for Copy Catalogers" available

At the risk of tooting my own horn, I've uploaded a YouTube video which I hope will help in the efforts to provide training in RDA,

"Resource Description & Access (RDA) Basics for Copy Catalogers," http://youtu.be/6IUyBaDdc8c
It is 55 minutes long.

Our motivations for creating this video were multiple: here at Kent State University, the Technical Services Department needed a way to train new staff and graduate student assistants.  Having them watch a video is more efficient than providing face-to-face instruction for each new person.  Second, results of a survey done in late 2012 showed that nearly a third of Ohio public library catalogers had never heard of RDA at the time of the survey.* We wanted to provide something to aid all kinds of catalogers - public, school, you name it - in getting comfortable with RDA.

Please feel free to share this link with other discussion lists.  I'd appreciate it especially if people would pass the link on to discussion lists for public and school librarians.
