RDA and Cartographic Resources

As the cataloguing universe moves into the era of RDA: Resource Description and Access, specialist cataloguers need information on managing the materials in their areas of responsibility. In this manual, expert cataloguers Andrew and Larsgaard offer a summary and overview of how to catalogue cartographic resources using the new standard. Through abundant examples and sample records to illustrate the work, the authors

• Take a close look at what will remain familiar from AACR2, and what is new and different in RDA
• Offer guidance for creating authorised geographic subject headings using Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Resources (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD)
• Present a detailed examination of geographic subject headings and subdivisions

Designed for both practising map cataloguers and cataloguers new to cartographic resources, this volume will be a one-stop resource for all cataloguers of cartographic materials looking to understand the differences between cataloguing using AACR2 and cataloguing using RDA.
