Hi Heather, When I said training non-cataloguers I meant more informative sessions for reference staff and internal researchers explaining the changes to catalogue records, how these will impacts searching functions, and the benefits (why we are doing this), especially in the context of linked data and moving away from MARC in the future. We are looking for clear, existing materials we can use, rather than having to develop our own in-house materials. Since we don't have a dedicated systems librarian, what does IT need to know about our ILS to help us imporve our user interface, and what training should we ask them to go through to maybe even make those global chages to records? *Effie Patelos* Catalogueur Cataloguer *Centre Canadien d’Architecture* *Canadian Centre for Architecture* T 514 939 7001 x 1368 *www.cca.qc.ca* <http://www.cca.qc.ca/> On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 11:15 AM, Heather Slania <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Effie, > > > > We’re much, much smaller than you, but when I was talking to my old boss > at University of Maryland (he was a special collections cataloger) he said > they just went through: > http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA%20training%20materials/LC%20RDA%20Training/LC%20RDA%20course%20table.html > and that’s what we did.
