SUNCAT is sending out a survey to Contributing Libraries on Monday, 4th
February, to discuss what the libraries are doing with regards to the adoption
of RDA (Resource Description Access), the new cataloguing rules that are due to
replace AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition). The results will help with integrating RDA
into SUNCAT, for example, in adding new MARC21 codes for display, new indexing
routines, etc. The analysis of the answers will also form the basis of a paper
that has been accepted for publication in Alexandria: the journal of national
& international library and information issues (0955-7490), in a special
RDA-themed issue.
We would be very grateful if our Contributing Libraries
completed this survey. We are happy to receive more than one questionnaire from
any given Contributing Library, as there may be different answers from
different departments, etc. The survey will be open for 3 weeks.
