Subject: Re: [eduCAT] incorporating RDA into a Cataloging and Classification
class
Going from AACR1 to AACR2 was overwhelming enough, but it was not like this is
going to be. It was more incremental. We got "Chapter 6" first, which was the
new description according to ISBD with the new punctuation, etc. When AACR2
came out, the description was pretty much the same as the "Chapter 6" that had
been re-done for AACR1. So teaching AACR2 then became a matter of dealing with
the changes to formulating headings for names (personal, corporate, geographic)
and uniform titles (especially for serials). I wonder if there is any way to
do RDA "incrementally"?
