Abstract
Cataloguing rules are on the verge of changing. The release of Resource Description and Access together with the application of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) will require adjustments in the way we approach our work. RDA was developed as a new set of guidelines for describing and providing access to resources covering all types of content and media. It is intended to replace the second edition . Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) as the standard for cataloging. This paper will look briefly at the origins of RDA, provide a high level overview of RDA, and then discuss some of the differences cataloguers and library users can expect to find between RDA and AACR2.
