## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- "Change in all things is sweet."
- Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC)

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- "Long-term reliance on Library of Congress leadership and on its provision of cataloging records leads some libraries—even some large libraries with relatively plentiful staff—to think that they bear no responsibility, individually or collectively, for sharing substantively in the work of bibliographic control."
*On the Record: Report of The Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control, *January 9, 2008.

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- 	2008: a gradual reduction in original cataloging of transportation-related materials?
- Print monographs: less copy, or vendor records
- Print technical reports for federal, state, and UTCs: much less copy

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- 	2009: new priorities, new "posteriorities"
- What do our statistics tell us?
- What do NUTL users need?
- What does NUTL need?
- What does NU Main Library need?
- What are our cooperative responsibilities (i.e., TRB, UC-Berkeley)?

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- 	2008:
- 		RDA developments

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- 	RDA: what is it?
- Joint Steering Committee (JSC): charged with creating Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 3rd Ed. (AACR3)
- Broadened scope to develop RDA (Resource Description and Access)
- RDA realigned to incorporate Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model
- Timeline established to roll out RDA in 2009

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- 	RDA: why should our transportation information community take note?
- Cataloging in OCLC primarily created according to AACR2, at national and international level, English and non-English records
- Indexing & bibliographic records from NUTL & Berkeley contributed to TRIS created according to AACR2
- Catalogs/DBs in metadata schemes other than MARC still adhere loosely/closely to AACR2
- Other metadata communities using AACR2-principled data, especially name authority records (NAF)
- Libraries will ultimately need to subscribe to/purchase documentation for, train in, and update systems for RDA

## Cataloging 2009 : ǂb resources, issues, challenges

- RDA in 2008:
- "...a decision to implement the rules will be based upon the positive evaluation of RDA’s utility within the library and information environment, and criteria reflecting the technical, operational, and financial implications of the new code."
