    Teaching RDA-3R and IFLA-LRM to LIS Students and Metadata Professionals

    Join us for the CaMMS Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging Interest Group Meeting, Friday 25 January 2019 from 1:00-2:30 pm in Room 3B, Washington State Convention Center.

    The IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA-LRM), a harmonization of the IFLA Functional Requirements theoretical models, has become the foundational model for the recent revision of Resource Description and Access (RDA-3R). LIS instructors are at a loss for methods to teach these new versions when they come into mainstream use. In particular, the RDA-3R revision provides no context for a linear path or starting point for creating metadata, which will present new challenges for study and teaching. Join us for a brainstorming and planning discussion to develop methods for instruction of RDA-3R and the IFLA-LRM.
