Trainers’ tips
from Erminia, Hideyuki, JaiHsya & Charlene

Trainer’s tips
• Erminia:
– utilize the function of RDA Toolkit in OCLC - it is
very useful and a good start to find explanation for
a particular field.
– if there isn't a rule to cover something or you can't
tell what RDA thinks it's saying, just do whatever
makes sense and move on (documenting it if it's
something you think you'll encounter again) and
don't worry about being "wrong," nobody's going to
slap our wrists.
• Hideyuki:
– One should catalog by the rule and not by
example. There are questionable RDA records, just
as there are many questionable AACR2 records,
none of which should be followed. As such, the
most up-to-date rules should be studied and
followed. This is constant with AACR2 or RDA or
otherwise.

Trainers’ tips
• Jai-Hsya:
– When I encounter uncertainty while cataloging I
checked these 3 documents. They includes rules,
resources information and MARC record examples.

hority%29_Revised.pdf

p_addendum.pdf
– If still in doubt, I checked rules in toolkit either
through direct access or through Connexion. Still
unsolved, I ask questions to an experienced RDA
Cataloger especially those who can cite rules.
• Charlene:
– Learn by doing, but get familiar with rules while doing
– Be open-minded when RDA/LCPS is still evolving
