Overview
Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a set of instructions or rules for the description of books and other materials or resources. RDA is intended to replace Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 2nd Edition (AACR2), the current US standard for cataloging.
RDA is built on foundations established in AACR2 and the cataloging traditions on which they were based. A key difference in the RDA design is its use of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records and Authority Data (FRBR and FRAD).
RDA uses the language and terminology of FRBR and FRAD. The FRBR entities, attributes, and relationships are used for bibliographic description.
RDA rules
The RDA rules are organized to relate bibliographic description to the FRBR entities, attributes, and relationships. The first 4 sections of RDA cover elements corresponding to the entity attributes defined in FRBR and FRAD.
Records produced using the instructions of RDA are intended to be compatible with the large number of existing records created under the rules of AACR2.
RDA is a content standard, not a display, database, or coding standard. It is designed to be used with many different schemas such as ISBD, MARC, and Dublin Core.
RDA services

ILS handling
Typically, an Integrated Library System (ILS) has very specific criteria when it comes to exporting and importing the bibs or authorities from your library. Knowing which ILS your library uses helps us understand your needs and expectations.
Your ILS may have a different methodology when it comes to importing vs exporting records. Contacting your ILS vendor will help clear these steps up. Since our RDA services can process bibliographic records in MARC 21 format from almost any source, it may be necessary to contact your ILS vendor regarding the best way to export the records in the proper format.
Bibliographic records in your local ILS are often the only copies that contain all the updates, modifications and enhancements made over the years. Most systems have an export feature that can create files of bibliographic records in MARC format.
Some ILS allow export by date or record number ranges, enabling a library to periodically send files of new and updated records for RDA processing.
