    Maps the RDA Way: Come catalog a map with us!


     


    RDA has arrived!  So have changes large and small from AACR2. However, you need not fear!


     


    Experienced map catalogers and long-time MAGIRT members Paige Andrew and Susan Moore are prepared to assist those catalogers wanting to (or just plain needing to!) learn about RDA-based changes to cataloging cartographic materials.  Participants will create brief records for two maps using an RDA work form.  You will receive a freeNational Geographic Costa Rica Adventure Map and a color copy of a CIA map. You will be guided through the descriptive process, and leave having cataloged two maps!
