This blog was created as part of my studies - MTeach (teacher librarian) -hopefully here you may find some musings on education, libraries, life and studying along with generally witty and insightful comments (if i can manage any!).

Please add comments along the way. I'll be glad for any input, especially from fellow students and library lovers

RDA and assessment 1

The second part of our first assessment is the cataloguing of items using Resource Description and Access (RDA). It's an interesting process and has required some immersion in the RDA Toolkit. In the end I have found it useful to carefully go through each of the relevant sections and attempt to map them.

It's good to see how this works and the ways in which you approach resource description using RDA. Also interesting are the fundamentals behind it - which are addressed in the essay component. Its been a challenging assessment but quite a good one - hold on for updates once feedback returned.

Having said this though, as most library systems have the capacity to import data one wonders if there will ever be a need for such cataloguing in the average school library.
