RDA Training Methods and Application Examples

The first standard rules for cataloging, Panizzi, were introduced. These rules, which have changed and developed in various periods, have been tried to be applied with Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC), which is a machine-readable data chart, with the change in information technologies in 1966. In the ongoing process, the second edition of AACR was published in 1978 due to difficulties in bibliographic identification of the diversified information sources. Between 2004-2005, the JSC (Joint Steering Committee for Revision of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules) group wanted to publish AACR 3 as a result of new needs in cataloging, but RDA (Resource Description and Access) was appropriate as the name for the new rules. seen. Since 2010, the new cataloging standard, RDA, has become widespread worldwide. The transition to RDA brought many changes with it. Providing the necessary training for the implementation of RDA is one of the starting points of this change. In the studies conducted on RDA in different countries, it has been understood that the subject of “RDA Education” is one of the important issues in the transition process. The methods to be followed while giving this training are very important. Similar and different methods for education have been developed between countries. The aim of this article is to help develop a method in RDA education in our country by examining the RDA education in these different countries.
