Hi all,
Last week, I gave a presentation at the Oregon Library Association
Conference entitled "RDA and Authority Records: Enhancing Discovery."
The description from the program book is:
"RDA contains instructions for recording many attributes of a person,
family or corporate body, and the MARC Format has been enhanced with new
fields to accommodate this information. Having such information structured
for machine manipulation opens up a new realm of possibilities for
discovery of library resources. This session will focus on the use of
these new fields in name authority records: how to interpret the
information; best practices for libraries providing the information; and
the potential for enhancing discovery."
Most of my presentation is an explanation of the MARC authority fields for
attributes of entities and PCC best practices, with lots of examples of
NARs. I've posted it online on my website at
http://faculty.washington.edu/aschiff/RDA%20and%20Authority%20Records.pptx
and hope it might be of some use to some of you either as review or for
training purposes.
