Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Marie G. Cullen, Maynooth University.
Abstract
"In April 2013, Resource Description and Access (RDA) became the new standard for resource description and access replacing the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules II (AACRII) standard. RDA is a content standard designed for a digital world and builds on AACRII.
In 2012 and 2013, EURIG (The European RDA Interest Group) surveyed its members regarding their plans for the implementation of RDA. The findings of these surveys provided a snapshot of EURIG members' plans for RDA implementation and feedback from those institutions that had begun to apply RDA. No such survey had been carried out in Ireland. Between November 2014 and January 2015 the 26 CONUL member libraries were surveyed with regard to their plans for the implementation of RDA and details of staff training and support with which they had engaged. This paper presents a summary of the findings of the survey and based on the findings looks at the opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
This research is supported by a bursary from the Cataloguing and Metadata Group of the Library Association of Ireland.

14. Reasons for implementing RDA
• Interoperability
• New Library Management System version supports RDA
• Library Management System Upgrades support RDA
• Want to implement FRBR
• RDA covers the range of material we collect
Other reasons
• Step in direction of linked data
• Value added metadata

17. Challenges
• Staffing – small numbers in general with multiple roles
• Expertise – who has the time
• LMS systems awaiting upgrades, newer versions
• No centralised organisation or forum providing direction and
support such as the British Library
• Records downloaded vs Original cataloguing
Marie G. Cullen, Maynooth University Library - An Leabharlann Ollscoil Mhá Nuad
18. Opportunities
• Establish forum similar to the CILIP CIG e-forum
• Work of LAI CMG. Providing training. Build on this.
• Compile and share useful materials – centralised database of
materials – LAI CMG
• Join EURIG
Q.13
Other
wait and see attitude
creating local records in RDA and ingesting both AACR2 and RDA records. We have yet to make a decision to fully move to RDA only records.
Q. 14
Currently updating records to ensure rda compliance in the future
Sometime in the future - probably driven by outside factors
Once our LMS has been converted to accept RDA
We hope to implement it in Q1 -Q2 2015
