Comparison of zine user needs, known problems in zine description, and established best practices to Resource Description and Access (RDA) reveals RDA's applicability for describing alternative publications in library and nonlibrary contexts. Findings are that RDA is appropriate for describing alternative publications, though expansion and improvement is warranted in documenting makers, addressing intellectual property, approaching privacy concerns, facilitating subject and genre analysis, undertaking object cataloging, applying companion standards and external vocabularies, and using RDA where boundaries between work, expression, and manifestation are blurred. Experiments in the MARC and ZineCore formats suggest that a Linked Data model would aid RDA implementation.

“…A key focus of many case studies was on understanding the real cost of RDA adoption. For example, while many authors observed that the RDA toolkit seemed expensive, they also tended to focus on non-set costs including personnel time, technology costs including expenses required to update systems to conform to RDA, and ongoing training costs ( Mitchell, 2013). The cost of the updates for the print will be.…”

Technological advances and emergence of digital information present a significantly different challenge than libraries had before. With abundance of digital formats of information available in libraries, a new standard of cataloging has been introduced. The standard for cataloging that emphasized on the content of metadata which can support the discovery, identification and employment of information resources in library or known as Resource Description and Access (RDA) is designed for the digital environment. It is expected to have full implementation in all libraries in Malaysia by 2017. This announcement has been made by the former director of National Library of Malaysia. To accomplish this mission, training is considered a basic requirement for every librarian before the introduction of RDA. However, it is found to be great challenges in conducting training and implementation of RDA in many libraries. With regards to this matter this study focuses on literatures on RDA pertaining to; training, costs, cataloging procedures and integrated library system. The framework may become foundation for libraries in supporting RDA in bibliographic control. The insight will inspire and inform a wide array of new research agenda in the cataloging and metadata literature.

“…In 2011, a special issue of Cataloging and Classification Quarterly (CCQ) brought together case studies about libraries' experiences during the testing period in the US. In his analysis of these articles, Mitchell (2013) revealed a common criticism of the structure of the RDA Toolkit and the unclear language of the instructions. The author further highlighted the universal agreement that MARC encoding is not adequate for RDA because it does not allow for the optimum utilisation of the new standard.…”

“…Regarding training, an approach involving as many cataloguers as possible in order to foster a collaborative learning environment seemed preferable. In addition, training should include familiarisation with FRBR concepts and vocabulary, since FRBR is the basis of RDA (Mitchell, 2013).…”

This research explored the implementations and perceptions of the Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloguing standard in Europe. It refers to the development and implementation of the standard among Anglo-American libraries and draws comparisons between them. It examines the spread and application of RDA throughout Europe both by analysing the available literature and by conducting interviews with professionals at 12 European national libraries.The results highlight the issues faced by the European institutions and the unique perspectives that emerge from implementing RDA in different languages and cultures. European institutions demonstrate a higher level of involvement and interest in the development of RDA and a stronger desire to work towards RDA interoperability and alignment with the cultural heritage sector. The European implementation drives forward the internationalisation of RDA by actively seeking solutions to the issues in the new standard arising from the cultural and linguistic diversity.
