With the movement toward automation and standardization in archival descriptive practice, archivists have increasingly been impacted by library systems and standards. With the release of the new library descriptive rules, Resource Description and Access (RDA), archives can now be seen to have a reciprocal influence on the development of bibliographic standards.
