[DCRM-L] RDA Regional Training Workshops?

[Deborah J. Leslie]

All of LC's training materials for their own staff is online and freely available:

http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA%20training%20materials/LC%20RDA%20Training/LC%20RDA%20course%20table.html

It looks a little confusing at first, but proceed down the table, starting with FRBR Fundamental Concepts and ending with RDA Module 6: Authorities II. The PowerPoint slides contain the instructors' notes, so I recommend using that view rather than the slide show.

The LC training course takes about 36 hours, so plan accordingly. I encourage you not to skimp on the FRBR modules, because how Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item (WEMI--yes, that's the acronym for "resources") are defined and understood will be necessary for you to make appropriate choices for descriptions and authorities.

For RDA NACO training, watch the videos at http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/courses/rda_naco/course%20table.html before going through the text documents (at above link) for modules 5 and 6

Subject: [DCRM-L] RDA Regional Training Workshops?

>From the recent discussion on relationship designators, I gather LC is offering formal training workshops in RDA.
Might anyone on the list know of any regional RDA training initiatives in a bricks and mortar setting that are afoot?

Best,

Will
