RDA

RDA is coming and VTLS is on the leading edge of

supporting this new standard

Webinars offered throughout the year and customers are

encouraged to attend

Why is RDA Needed?

Simplify the cataloging rules

For international applicability

To add consistency

Address current problems

Because users want the rules to be principle based

It is designed for the digital environment and will not be tied to a specific format, such as MARC21.

Comments from users“… helped us to understand more about RDA and FRBR”

“… used it when teaching classes …. The students were rather fascinated to be able to see the full WEMI structure in the database.”

“In my opinion the best thing about the Sandbox is its clarity. It makes it easy to explain the model. In a sense it has solved the problem with FRBR in MARC environment.”
