Trainers’ tipsfrom Erminia, Hideyuki, Jai-

Hsya & Charlene

Trainer’s tips• Erminia:

– utilize the function of RDA Toolkit in OCLC -  it is very useful and a good start to find explanation for a particular field.

– if there isn't a rule to cover something or you can't tell what RDA thinks it's saying, just do whatever makes sense and move on (documenting it if it's something you think you'll encounter again) and don't worry about being "wrong," nobody's going to slap our wrists.

• Hideyuki:– One should catalog by the rule and not by example.

There are questionable RDA records, just as there are many questionable AACR2 records, none of which should be followed.  As such, the most up-to-date rules should be studied and followed.  This is constant with AACR2 or RDA or otherwise.

Trainers’ tips• Jai-Hsya:

– When I encounter uncertainty while cataloging I checked these 3 documents. They includes rules, resources information and MARC record examples. http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC_RDA_Complete_Examples_%28Bibliographic%29_revised.pdf

http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC_RDA_Complete_Examples_%28Authority%29_Revised.pdfhttp://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/6JSC_RDA_Complete_Examples_ALA_Rep_addendum.pdf

– If still in doubt, I checked rules in toolkit either through direct access or through Connexion. Still unsolved, I ask questions to an experienced RDA Cataloger especially those who can cite rules.

• Charlene: – Learn by doing, but get familiar with rules while doing – Be open-minded when RDA/LCPS is still evolving
