Under RDA, catalogers transcribe an element as it appears on the piece with no abbreviations.
Unless – guidelines from the Library of Congress or local cataloging guidelines tell us differently.
Result: Records may vary widely in appearance and practice.

Many fewer abbreviations
No more “rule of three”
No more Latin
Relationship Designators
Lack of standardization, e.g. edition statements as presented on item:
1st ed. I ed.1st edition. I edition.Ed. 1. First ed.Edition 1. First edition.
How would this affect keyword searching?
Loss of GMD (General Material Designator):Currently users can easily tell via the GMD after the title proper whether a title listed in search results is a videorecording, a sound recording, an online resource, etc.
With GMD:
Without GMD:
Instead of the GMD, RDA uses three new fields:336: Content (fundamental form)
337: Media (intermediation device)
338: Carrier (storage medium and housing)
336: cartographic image 337: unmediated 338: sheetNote that print items are treated the same as
any other medium. In AACR2, this map would have a GMD: [map]
The 336-338 fields are intended to facilitate communication between computers, but many feel that patrons are
losing valuable information. Unfortunately, our ILS does not allow us to
“translate” the 336-338 fields into a string better intended for human beings, e.g. “print map” in the previous example.
Thus far, we have elected not to display these fields in our OPAC.
We have some special OPAC searches that rely on the GMD, e.g. DVD/Video search,
Sound Recording Search, E-Book Search. We are unsure about how to handle these in an RDA environment.

British, Canadian, and Australian national libraries are already planning for implementation
Public report on implementation decision from the U.S. national libraries due before ALA annual meeting (June 23-28)
Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) task force has recommended that RDA be adopted regardless of U.S. national libraries’ decision
Several libraries (Stanford, Chicago, BYU) have also indicated probability of continuing to use RDA regardless of U.S. national libraries’ decision
Role of the IO Cataloging Congress
Some steps already taken …
Resource Description & Access Task Group (created Sept. 2010)◦ study RDA◦ identify necessary changes to existing IOCC cataloging
practices and guidelines◦ recommend a system-wide implementation approach and
timeline
IU RDA Wiki: http://iurda.pbworks.com/w/page/32216824/FrontPage
Symphony “Tag Table” Task Group◦ tag table updated in Nov. 2010 to accommodate new MARC21
fields related to RDA
In any event, more training will be necessary!
