@article { , title = {An investigation into cataloguers' experiences with RDA.}, abstract = {Cataloguing has been undergoing significant transformation for the last several years in order to keep up with the changing world of digital technologies, dramatically increasing the number of resources to be catalogued and data to be managed in such a way that would satisfy library users’ needs and expectations. Cataloguers had to face a shift in thinking about bibliographic data and consequently a shift in practice to the new cataloguing standard of Resource Description and Access. This research investigated cataloguers’ experiences with using RDA and the current issues they encounter and discuss while RDA is still being reviewed and shaped. It also documented and explored their opinions and concerns regarding understanding of theoretical concepts behind RDA and the new Library Reference Model. The investigation took place in a virtual environment of two of the most popular listservs dedicated to cataloguing and, in this way, allowed a direct and immediate access to opinions expressed by cataloguers around the world. In order to explore their experiences, a qualitative, based on elements of grounded theory, content analysis of archive and most recent posts was conducted and compared with the literature on the research done in the initial period after RDA implementation. The research results indicated some strong divisions among cataloguers and different levels of understanding of the changes being introduced. It also showed a potential paradigm shift in cataloguing, professional knowledge and mental flexibility required of cataloguers. Moreover, the significant amount of learning that cataloguers have had to and will have to undertake in the nearest future, suggests an inordinately important need for adequate training and dialogue between them and the RDA Steering Committee that would be led in a more comprehensible way to enable those who call themselves ‘average cataloguers’ understand the model better and become confident, rather than confused, practitioners.}, doi = {10.1177/0961000618820655}, eissn = {1741-6477}, issn = {0961-0006}, issue = {2}, journal = {Journal of librarianship and information science}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Now published, checked and updated 21/4/2020 LM -- Info via contact 26/11/2018 LM) PERMISSION GRANTED DOCUMENT READY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: MacLennan, Alan -- Panel D}, pages = {464-475}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {SAGE Publications}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/3237}, volume = {52}, keyword = {Cataloguing, Resource description and access, Cataloguers, AACR2, Cataloguing listserv, FRBR, FRBR-LRM, RDA}, year = {2020}, author = {MacLennan, Alan and Walicka, Agnieszka} }
