On-Demand Webinar Series: RDA Webinar Series (Part Two): Title Proper in the Official RDA Toolkit

This second session of the New and Official RDA Toolkit series will go over title proper and related Toolkit sections.

This four-part webinar series covers the basics of the official Resource Description and Access (RDA) Toolkit that one should know before using the standard and presents how to use the RDA Toolkit with other cataloging documentation, including policy statements and Metadata Guidance Documents (MGDs). Specific examples and detailed steps will be demonstrated in the presentations to help users understand not only the content structure of RDA in a comprehensive way but also ways to use the Toolkit with the assistance of cataloging documentation.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, attendees will:

Learn how to record a title proper of a manifestation through RDA instructions and policy statements.
Learn other relevant sections of the Toolkit through this title proper use case, such as manifestation statements, title of manifestation element, data provenance guidelines, guidelines on normalized transcription, and minimum description for a manifestation for the title proper recording.

Who Should Attend: Catalogers, metadata librarians, and anyone interested in RDA.
