    RDA is here! If RDA and cartographic materials sound scary, then let MAGIRT ease your fears. If you’re a cataloger working with cartographic resources, our experts will help you manage RDA changes in a hands-on program focusing on three areas in bibliographic description: title(s), mathematical data, and physical description. We’ll emphasize print maps and touch on digital resources. You’ll get a map, be guided through the descriptive process, and leave having cataloged a map!
