From AACR2 to RDA |
| RDA is the new cataloguing standard that replaces AACR2. RDA focuses on users and their information needs. Metadata created according to RDA instructions supports improved resource discovery in the web environment.

This session will also focus on the transition from AACR2 to RDA and will include a demonstration of the RDA Toolkit. This preconference session builds on last year’s preconference, but salient points will be reviewed. Previous knowledge of RDA and attendance at the 2009 RDA pre-conference session is not required.

She will provide you with the tools for understanding, appreciating, respecting, honouring and enjoying first yourself and then all others in your business and personal life. “It is positive and nonthreatening”.
