From the publisher

Winner of several prestigious honors, including the 2014 ABC-CLIO Greenwood Award for the Best Book in Library Literature, the first edition of this clear and comprehensive handbook has become an essential resource for catalogers, LIS students, and cataloging instructors. Now, in this second edition, Maxwell explains the changes to RDA: Resource Description and Access brought about by 3R, and brings his handbook fully in line with all the new developments. Designed to interpret and explain RDA, this resource illustrates the cataloging standard for every type of information format. From books to electronic materials to music and beyond, Maxwell

  • explains the alignment of the new RDA with the IFLA's Library Reference Model (LRM), offering value to library and cultural heritage communities;
  • incorporates the changes made to the RDA Toolkit after the completion of the 3R Project that allow for greater personalization and accessibility;
  • addresses the new structural changes to RDA that allow for greater flexibility and reuse;
  • explores the new emphasis on relationships between entities and what it means for RDA users; and
  • provides abundant sample records to illustrate RDA principles.
