RDA Resources Online This list is by no means exhaustive; it is meant to provide RDA material that is especially recent and/or

useful for training purposes, and material that will provide a good introduction to RDA cataloging.

Free Resources

RDA Toolkit http://www.rdatoolkit.org/ While the actual RDA instructions are for-a-fee, this site provides open access to Teaching and Training

material (some, like the “Toolkit Essentials” are very recent; some are more historical). Other tabs that

might be useful are “Blog” “News” and “RDA Background” (the latter of which contains relationship

diagrams illustrating RDA concepts). MARC record examples are in a pdf document (dated April 2013)
